Binance-backed shark metaverse StarSharks raises $4.8 million in private round

StarSharks – a community-driven gaming ecosystem dedicated to players creating, sharing and building together – is thrilled to announce the closing of a $4.8 million private round. The shark metaverse will use fresh funds to build exciting new games and nurture the community.

The private placement saw participation from dozens of well-known investors including 3 Commas Capital, AC Capital, Banter Crypto, Bas1s. Ventures, Basics Capital, Bigcoin Capital, Binance Labs , DAO Maker, Everest Ventures Group, Everse Capital, Exnetwork Capital, Forward Analytics, Fundamental Labs, Gate.io Labs, Geekcarptel, Genblock Capital, Hyperedge Capital, ICO Drops, Jsquare, Kirin Fund, Krypital Group, KuCoin Labs, LD Capital, MarketAcross, Momentum 6, Muhabbit, NGC Ventures, Redline Dao, Skyman Ventures, SL2 Capital, Titans Venture, UniX, Vendetta Capital, Winkrypto, YBB Foundation, Infinity Ventures Crypto, and YGG SEA.

Prior to the private round, Binance Labs, the venture capital arm and incubator of Binance, had made strategic investment in StarSharks. Founded by former star performers from Timi Studio, Google, and Binance, StarSharks is built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC)

“StarSharks is dedicated to developing a state-of-art blockchain game platform, with the goal of sharing and maximizing the value of creativity through co-creation. We are grateful to be supported by over 30 prestigious institutional investors and communities who believe in StarSharks’ vision, and we look forward to building the game platform of the next generation together,” said Franky, the CEO of StarSharks. 

The project aims to disrupt the current GameFi landscape where assets are isolated in one game. Players, developers, and investors can own, mate, and trade the shark NFTs within the ecosystem. They will also be able to seamlessly transfer NFTs from one game to another within the StarSharks metaverse.

Users who can’t afford to buy an NFT can rent one using StarSharks’ NFT leasing feature. The “rent to play” feature will fully activate the liquidity and utilization of NFT assets. It bridges the gap between NFT holders who don’t have time to play and active players who don’t have enough initial capital to purchase entry NFTs.
