CMCC Global leads the funding round, with participation from Kingsway Capital, Liberty City Ventures, GameFi Ventures, Aleksander Larsen, and Gabby Dizon.
The Mocaverse project aims to become the identity and point system for Web3 gaming, culture, and entertainment.
Investors in the round receive a free-attaching utility token warrant on a 1:1 dollar basis as part of their investment.
Animoca Brands plans to use the capital to develop Moca ID, a non-transferrable NFT collection enabling users to create on-chain identities and engage in the Mocaverse ecosystem while earning loyalty points.
Buterin's Twitter Account Phishedâ$691K Digital Assets Drained
Following a phishing scam, Twitter followers of Vitalik Buterin lost $691,000 in cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
In total, $691,000 in cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) were drained from the wallets of thousands of users who fell for the phishing link.
According to Chinese reporter Colin Wu, the theft resulting from the hack of Vitalik Buterin's account could be related to⌠twitter.com/i/web/status/1âŚ

The scam reportedly stemmed from a hack on Vitalik Buterin's âX (Twitter account.
Chinese journalist Colin Wu believes the attack may be associated with PinkDrainer, a malicious crypto-wallet draining tool.
Among the assets stolen from users were two highly-coveted CryptoPunks NFTs, specifically tokens #3986 and #1751.
Following the breach, an unauthorized message from Buterin's social profile was swiftly removed, and efforts are ongoing to restore his full access.
Despite the widespread impact of the breach, Vitalik Buterin has yet to publicly address the situation or the losses experienced by his followers.
