Blocore, one of the most influential blockchain investors in South Korea, already enjoys a long partnership with Animoca, having invested in its subsidiaries, including Animoca Ventures and leading decentralized gaming virtual world The Sandbox. The two companies also co-led a $9.1 million investment in the fashion metaverse platform ALTAVA in March 2022. This MoU, therefore, strengthens the already close relationship between the parties.

Commenting on the MoU, Blocore CEO Lim Hyung-Cheol said, “We are glad to strengthen our relationship with Animoca Ventures further and to more proactively seek co-investment opportunities. We will continue to cooperate in various ways as we have laid a solid foundation for the development of the Web3 industry.”

“We are delighted about this partnership with Blocore,” remarked James Ho of Animoca Ventures. “Animoca has been at the forefront of ecosystem building in Web3 and the metaverse. We believe metaverses will become the portal between the digital and physical worlds, and Blocore’s expertise and influence will provide an impactful boost to our tireless efforts to find and support the most promising and passionate startups who are building in Web3.”
