In December 2022, Cointelegraph reported that digital entertainment, blockchain and gamification company Animoca Brands had secured a majority stake in the Los Angeles-based Pixelynx.
In March 2022, LG Electronics also officially updated its business development goals to include cryptocurrency and blockchain-based software. A South Korean news platform reported that LG added two distinct crypto-related objectives during its annual general meeting: “the development and selling of blockchain-based software” and “the sale and brokerage of cryptocurrency.”
