The report points out the decision to sell tokens in a non-transparent manner raises questions as Immutable has already raised almost $280 million from such investors as Temasek, Tencent, AirTree Ventures and King River Capital. AirTree Ventures partner John Henderson confirmed in a commentary to the news media that the venture firm was aware of the sale, but declined to elaborate on the matter.
Immutable reportedly said in the presentation to investors that despite the crisis triggered by the market’s downturn, liquidity and utility “will turn NFTs into a trillion-dollar asset class.” However, it is unclear how many tokens have been sold so far via the Digital Worlds Foundation.
