Animoca Brands Acquires CTA Tokens Amid 454% Price Surge

Animoca Brands, a leading company in the blockchain gaming sector, has announced its acquisition of CTA tokens from the open market. This strategic move follows their previous investment in Cross the Ages Studio, a French developer, where Animoca led a $3.5 million investment round in May 2024. The latest investment by Animoca includes an initiative to acquire CTA tokens, although the specific amount and timing of these purchases have not been disclosed.

Animoca Brands has also formed a strategic partnership with the blockchain cross-media ecosystem Cross the Ages. This collaboration involves supporting Cross the Ages' upcoming multiplayer action role-playing game, Arise, which is set to be officially launched soon. As part of this partnership, Animoca Brands will provide advice to the project on marketing strategy, audits, and tokenomics. Additionally, the company has already begun purchasing CTA tokens from the open market, although the specific quantity has not been disclosed.

The CTA token has experienced significant price fluctuations. Since hitting its all-time-low in February 2025, the token price has surged by 454%, with a notable 161% increase in the past month alone. Despite this rise, the token's price remains 84% below its all-time-high recorded on May 17, 2024. The current circulating market capitalization of the CTA token stands at $37 million.

Animoca's reinvestment in Cross The Ages Studio is strategic, as the developer is preparing to release its second game, a multiplayer action role-playing game titled Arise. This game has been in development using Unreal Engine 5 for the past couple of years and is expected to launch on PC in the fourth quarter of 2025, with subsequent releases on Mac and other platforms.

As part of the deal, Animoca will provide consulting services on go-to-market strategy and tokenomics, as well as offer liquidity for CTA trading. Cross The Ages Studios has raised over $24 million to date, having launched its Cross The Ages TCG in March 2023. The collaboration between Animoca Brands and Cross The Ages Studios underscores Animoca's commitment to high-quality blockchain gaming that bridges traditional audiences with web3 technology. Yat Siu, the executive chairman of Animoca Brands, highlighted the team's dedication to web3 game development and the market's undervaluation of Cross The Ages' potential. Sami Chlagou, the CEO of Cross The Ages, expressed pride in the continued support from Animoca Brands, a pioneer in web3 gaming, and emphasized that this partnership marks a significant milestone in their journey.
