SUNRISE, FL, Apr 20, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - NextPlay Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXTP), a technology solutions company building a digital business ecosystem for digital advertisers, consumers, video gamers and travelers, has completed its previously announced acquisition of gaming assets and IP from goGame, a Singapore-based mobile casual video game publisher and technology company.

The acquired assets include goPlay, a new-gen game publishing platform featuring a tournament system, chat, payment, and 37 casual games ranging from arcade to strategy. NextPlay plans to complete the integration of its HotPlay in-game advertising (IGA) technology into the 37 goPlay games by year-end.

NextPlay also acquired from goGame a perpetual license to goPay, a payment aggregator that offers game developers multiple ways to more easily collect and process user payments. This includes carrier billing, over the counter, e-voucher, bank transfer and e-wallet. The goPay technology further extends NextPlay's existing payment services, offering access to a wider array of global payment providers.

"The key value for us in this acquisition is how the goPlay platform enables gamers to form a community within its ecosystem," noted NextPlay co-chief executive Nithinan (Jessie) Boonyawattanapisut. "We see this providing a ready-made platform to launch our HotPlay IGA technology, with this leading to new revenue streams and expansion of our reach to users in many additional countries around the world."

As a fully owned brand, goPlay brings Nextplay:

- Web destination for players to gather and engage in social play across a catalogue of well-crafted, hyper casual games.
- Set of new technologies and APIs, such as social graph, chat, and game tournament backend services, for integration into the company's advertising and game services offering and delivered via its core game software development kit across web, set-top box, and mobile platforms.
- New revenue stream through goPay payments and ability to harness exciting new partnerships in key areas of NextPlay's broader market focus, such as NFT gaming and cryptocurrency.

goPlay and goPay offer a core set of compelling features that are perfect for a wide variety of platform partners who will be able to sign up under an Open Beta this summer. The goGame offerings will become part of the NextPlay suite of customizable products that can be tailored to fit the individual needs and capabilities of B2B and B2C operators across the globe.

NextPlay also plans to introduce goPlay game users to its NextFinancial fintech-oriented products, including crypto banking, micro-lending, and potential insurance services. Across each of these offerings, NextPlay would also have full access to goGame's payment processing gateway goPay.

For further details about the NextPlay's asset and IP purchase from goGame, please see the NextPlay Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov, and also available in the nextplaytechnologies.com investor relations section.

With Bitcoin retracing below its 4-hour 20/50/200 EMA, the overall market structure slightly favoured the selling viewpoint. Accordingly, ApeCoin saw a reversal from the $13-mark and broke out of its up-channel. Ethereum Classic entered into a low volatility phase while flashing a weak trend. On the other hand, Shiba Inu pictured a slight bullish preference […]

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND, Apr 5, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Swiss financial intermediary and FinTech platform YOUHODLER announce the listing of the popular ApeCoin (APE) to the platform. As of today, all clients can buy, exchange, trade, lend, and earn APE. Furthermore, YouHodler is offering a limited-time savings account interest rate of 30% APR for all APE deposits. These rates are available until April 30th. After that date, the interest rates will decrease to 3% APR plus compound.

What is ApeCoin (APE)?

ApeCoin (APE) is the native governance token that powers the APE ecosystem. The APE ecosystem includes two of the most popular NFT communities, the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and the Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC).

APE is an ERC-20 utility token that aims to incentivize the decentralized community. Furthermore, ApeCoin holders are said to govern themselves and the community with the help of the ApeCoin DAO - a decentralized autonomous organization. In the DAO, ApeCoin holders can vote on the evolution of the ApeCoin ecosystem and how it should be used.

Yuga Labs, the brains behind ApeCoin, say that APE utility will soon include using it for in-game purchases, merchandise, services, and events in the metaverse and ApeCoin ecosystem. Due to the popularity of BAYC and MAYC, ApeCoin has a volatile introduction to the world. For those looking to activate their crypto portfolio and play with this volatility, visit YouHodler today.

About ApeCoin

The APE Foundation is the steward of ApeCoin. It is not an overseer, but the base layer on which ApeCoin holders in the ApeCoin DAO can build.

The Foundation facilitates decentralized and community-led governance and is designed to become more decentralized over time. It is tasked with administering the decisions of the ApeCoin DAO and is responsible for day-to-day administration, bookkeeping, project management, and other tasks that ensure the DAO community's ideas have the support they need to become a reality.

The goal of the APE Foundation is to steward the growth and development of the APE ecosystem in a fair and inclusive way. It utilizes the Ecosystem Fund, which is controlled by a multi-sig wallet, to pay its expenses as directed by the ApeCoin DAO and provides an infrastructure for ApeCoin holders to collaborate through open and permissionless governance processes.
