Avalanche is a Layer 1 blockchain developed by Ava Labs that targets institutional applications through scalable subnets and EVM compatibility. Animoca Brands, meanwhile, has invested in more than 600 blockchain projects. The alliance connects Avalanche’s technology with Animoca Brands’ capital, distribution channels and institutional relationships in Asia and the Middle East, helping advance real-world asset tokenization, digital identity and Web3 entertainment.

Animoca Brands said on March 19, 2026, that it had purchased Avalanche’s native AVAX token and formed a strategic partnership with Ava Labs. The investment amount and terms were not disclosed. The initial phase will provide Avalanche development teams with funding, product integration, strategic advice and business development support. Priority will go to helping projects in Asia and the Middle East reach institutional users, with a focus on RWA tokenization, digital identity and entertainment.
