Animoca Founder Yat Siu “Telegram Gaming Ecosystem Will Attract 100-200 Million Web3 Users”
“The next 100-200 million Web3 users will come from Telegram and the Telegram gaming ecosystem,” Yat Siu, co-founder of NFT and blockchain game developer and investor Animoca Brands, told BeInCrypto. “Telegram already has a significant number of users, and games launched on Telegram can scale quickly without costly marketing campaigns. This is also important for VCs and other investors. This is especially true for Telegram's “tap-to-win” games, which have become a recent trend. Today, Tap to Win is reward-focused, but it will pave the way for a much larger gaming ecosystem in the future.” Junbo Yang, Investment Manager at Hashiki Capital, an investor and partner in the AI-powered Telegram cat care game Catitian (CATI), said, ”Catitian is setting a great precedent by monetizing its game and driving long-term user engagement. The ability to go from gameplay to crypto trading without leaving the app is a huge competitive advantage.”
