Tokens.com is building a metaverse gaming infrastructure powered by its two main products, Metaverse Group – the metaverse platform featuring NFTs and custom tech solutions for building 3D worlds and Hulk Labs – a web3 gaming studio.
The full acquisition of Metaverse Group will allow Tokens.com to integrate the companies unlocking more technological synergies.
Commenting on the acquisition, Tokens.com CEO Andrew Kiguel said: “The staking business has provided a strong cushion of capital for our business since inception. As the Company grows, we need to evaluate where we can achieve the highest risk-adjusted returns.”
“With token values peaking in 2021 and staking rewards declining for large-cap tokens, we are evaluating the most strategic and rewarding ways to use the digital assets on behalf of shareholders,” added Kiguel.
