CTW Cayman shares rise 17.21% intraday after opening first North American office in New York to target growing anime market.

CTW Cayman surged 17.21% intraday following the announcement of its first North American office in New York City, a strategic expansion aimed at capitalizing on the growing anime market in the region. The move, highlighted in multiple news reports, underscores the company’s global growth ambitions and aligns with the rising mainstream adoption of anime in North America. The firm emphasized its strong financial position and the success of its G123.jp platform, which leveraged anime-inspired HTML5 games to achieve 32% revenue growth in 2023. While a lock-up agreement for 12 million Class B shares ending in February 2026 could later impact liquidity, the immediate intraday rally was driven by the positive market reaction to the expansion news, which positions CTW to tap into international anime demand.
