V3V Ventures, a leading Singapore-based venture capital firm, has solidified its position as a major player in the Telegram and TON (Telegram Open Network) ecosystems with the strategic acquisition of the highly sought-after @trade username for a staggering $1.25 million. This move marks a significant step forward in V3V Ventures’ ambitious plan to become a dominant force in Web3 (decentralized web) adoption and development.
The acquisition of @trade, the most valuable Telegram username ever sold, underscores V3V Ventures’ commitment to fostering strong communities within the TON and Telegram environments. By leveraging the power of Telegram, a platform boasting over 700 million users, V3V Ventures aims to establish @trade as a central hub for discussions on the future of blockchain technology and decentralized finance (DeFi).
“We believe that creating strong communities within the TON and Telegram environments is key to driving the next wave of Web3 adoption,” said Mr. Buzz, a prominent partner at V3V Ventures. “By fostering engagement and building a vibrant community around @trade, we are placing ourselves at the center of the digital finance conversation.”
V3V Ventures’ strategy extends beyond the acquisition itself. The firm has allocated additional resources to develop the @trade channel, providing users with high-quality, curated content and exclusive opportunities to engage with industry leaders. This multi-pronged approach has already proven successful, attracting millions of users interested in Web3, DeFi, and the broader digital economy.
The @trade acquisition is just one piece of V3V Ventures’ comprehensive Web3 strategy. The firm has already invested over $5.5 million in usernames tied to TON-based NFTs, building a diverse ecosystem of Telegram channels focused on Web3, AI, DeFi, and NFTs. This network, coupled with the acquisition of Metaverse.sg, a thriving Asian community of crypto enthusiasts, positions V3V Ventures as a frontrunner in Web3 investing and marketing.
V3V Ventures’ commitment to Web3 extends beyond social media and community building. The firm has recently completed several successful VC deals, including investments in Bracket.fi (liquid ETH staking), Shieldeum.net (cutting-edge Web3 cybersecurity), and Brkt.gg (a leading prediction market platform).
With its strategic acquisition of @trade, ongoing investments in the TON and Telegram ecosystems, and a strong focus on promising Web3 and AI segments, V3V Ventures is poised to become a major force shaping the future of decentralized technologies.
