Other investors in the $152-million funding round included Accel, Paradigm, Standard Crypto, as well as Fabric Ventures and Samsung Next among other notable backers.<\/p>\n

The Axie Infinity maker said it was going to use the funds to \u201ccreate economic and financial freedom for gamers,\u201d adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we\u2019ve scaled at an astonishing rate, adding institutional investors to our community will enable us to expand our reach, reinforce our legitimacy when it comes to regulatory protection, and will give us the flexibility to scale and hire aggressively without touching our AXS token reserves.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
