Games Maker Animoca Brands to Acquire Majority Stake in NFT Platform Bondly
The firm’s investment in Bondly will help drive mass NFT adoption across its portfolio companies operating in gaming, sports, entertainment and collectibles.
Games maker Animoca Brands has entered into an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Bondly, a platform for non-fungible token (NFT) creators. Terms were not disclosed, but Animoca said the deal was not “material.”
- Animoca said its investment in Bondly will help drive mass NFT adoption across its portfolio companies operating in gaming, sports, entertainment and collectibles.
- Bondly’s technology includes NFT swap protocol and cross-chain NFT minting which will allow gamers to move NFT assets from one blockchain to another. The firm created and distributed YouTuber Logan Paul’s first-ever NFT collectibles for fans.
- Animoca has focused its recent investments on the NFT space, including OpenSea and Dapper Laps, and raised $139 million in funding this year at a valuation of $1.1 billion. The money will be used to fund strategic investments, product development and licenses for popular intellectual property.
- “Bondly has developed powerful tools to help onboard brands and individuals to the world of NFTs, and has built valuable relationships with many leading brands and artists,” said Yat Siu, the co-founder and chairman of Animoca Brands, in the announcement.
- In July, Bondly was exploited by an unknown party in a token-minting attack that led to an 82% price crash in its native token, BONDLY.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Coinbase’s Base faces builder backlash over creator coin push
Builders on Base are pushing back against the network’s close alignment with Zora, arguing the creator-coin narrative sidelines established projects.
What to know:
- Base has seen a surge in creator-coin issuance via Zora, with daily token mints surpassing Solana in August, boosting onchain activity and attention.
- Some Base-native projects say marketing and social support has become narrowly focused on Zora-linked initiatives, leaving other established communities without recognition.
- While Base continues to process more than 10 million transactions per day, critics warn that deteriorating builder sentiment could push projects toward rival chains like Solana or Sui.
