new institutional and high-net-worth investors to drive our M&A and growth strategies. The

which allows players to generate income through playing. For instance, collecting unique virtual
goods with verifiable ownership that can be traded or sold. According to data presented by Mejores
Apuestas, the top 3 NFT gaming titles have almost 2 million monthly users and the market
capitalization of the top 3 NFT gaming tokens has surged many folds from US$256m to US$16.5b
