True Global Ventures Achieves Historic Milestones in the U.S.

In a remarkable span of just 72 hours, True Global Ventures (TGV), a leading global venture capital firm focused on AI and Blockchain investments, has celebrated two pivotal accomplishments that have indelibly marked its trajectory in the United States. The firm, which has a strong reputation for backing visionary entrepreneurs, witnessed transformative developments with two of its flagship investments: Forge Global Holdings and Animoca Brands Corporation Limited. This week not only signifies TGV's stronghold in innovative financial arenas but also emphasizes its commitment to fostering cutting-edge advancements in digital assets.

Forge Global's Transformational Acquisition

The week kicked off with the announcement that Charles Schwab Corporation is set to acquire Forge Global for an impressive $660 million, valuing the firm at approximately $45 per share. Forge has emerged as a leader in developing digital infrastructure to enhance liquidity in private equity and venture capital. By seamlessly connecting investors, shareholders, and private companies, it has created one of the world's largest secondary ecosystems.

Dušan Stojanović, the founder of True Global Ventures, articulated the significance of this acquisition, stating, "Moments like this remind us why we invest for the long run. Forge Global has redefined how liquidity is created and managed in private markets. Its acquisition by Charles Schwab illustrates the accelerating convergence between traditional finance and the private-markets economy — a space where TGV has invested since inception."

Forge Global’s CEO, Kelly Rodrigues, echoed this sentiment, adding that this partnership “represents an inflection point for private markets, democratizing access to private-company investments.” The merger with Charles Schwab promises to revitalize Forge's mission to make private equity more accessible and transparent for a broader investor base, setting the stage for impressive growth ahead.

Animoca Brands' Strategic Push Towards Nasdaq Listing

Almost simultaneously, True Global Ventures celebrated another groundbreaking news: Animoca Brands is pursuing a merger with Currenc Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CURR), positioning Animoca's shareholders to own around 95% of the new entity once the transaction is finalized. This merger symbolizes a potent fusion of innovative digital rights management and robust financial infrastructure as Animoca is at the forefront of creating foundational layers of digital property rights. Expected to conclude in the second half of 2026, this move underscores a substantial stride toward mainstream adoption of digital assets and tokenization.

Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, expressed excitement regarding the potential of this merger: “A Nasdaq listing via Currenc represents a major step toward mainstream adoption of digital assets and tokenization.” He further highlighted the synergy between the two companies, stating their shared mission of reinventing how value moves on a global scale.

The Bigger Picture: TGV's Strategic Vision

These two monumental achievements resonate deeply with True Global Ventures' overall investment philosophy. The firm emphasizes a strategy that not only backs innovative founders but also accelerates the expansion of groundbreaking technologies within the U.S. and beyond. By bridging the realms of traditional finance with blockchain and AI innovations, TGV continues to assert itself as a powerhouse in the venture capital landscape.

Previously, TGV was granted a License Fund Management Company (LFMC) designation along with Capital Markets Services (CMS) licensing from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). With these milestones under its belt, True Global Ventures is cementing its position as one of the top-performing venture capital players globally.

Looking Ahead

As True Global Ventures moves forward, it proudly carries its successful partnerships with companies like Animoca Brands and Forge Global, who are not only transforming their respective sectors but are also crucial elements in the evolving landscape of finance and technology. The firm is committed to continuing its support for visionary founders dedicated to pioneering the next generation of transformative technology ventures. This week honors TGV’s promise to foster innovation and its relentless pursuit of excellence.
