Animoca Brands Acquires Digital Collectibles Firm SOMO

According to Animoca Brands’ official statement, the acquisition of SOMO aims to expand playable, streamable, and tradable collectibles across games through its global networks.

Fact Check
The assessment is based on extremely strong and direct evidence. The primary source is an official press release from Animoca Brands' own website, which explicitly announces the acquisition of SOMO. This is the most authoritative and relevant evidence possible, serving as a direct confirmation from the acquiring company. This primary evidence is further corroborated by a strong secondary source, a reputable cryptocurrency data site, which also reports the acquisition in its news feed. The other sources are either neutral or entirely irrelevant. The fintech news archive simply lists the two entities separately in a tag list, which does not contradict an acquisition. The remaining sources are completely unrelated, mentioning the company name only in tags or job listings. There is no conflicting evidence, and the claim is supported by the highest quality source available.
