Funding Details
PiP World, a Dubai-based Web3 game developer, has successfully raised $10 million in a seed funding round from Exinity, an Emirati fintech firm. This funding will support the development of their educational gaming portfolio, which focuses on teaching financial concepts through interactive and personalized gameplay.
Educational Gaming Focus
Describing itself as the "Duolingo of crypto," PiP World creates casual games designed to educate players about finance. The company has recently acquired StockRise, a stock simulation game on Roblox, and launched Gold Rush, a game on Telegram. They plan to release PiP Trader, a blockchain-compatible mobile game, by the end of 2024.

PiP World is particularly focused on users in emerging economies, where financial literacy tools are scarce. The company aims to replicate the success of other free-to-play games on Telegram, such as Hamster Kombat and Notcoin, which have attracted millions through token incentives and airdrops.
Vision and Partnership
The partnership with Exinity is expected to bolster PiP World’s mission to reshape how individuals engage with financial markets. Saad Naja, CEO of PiP World, expressed excitement about this collaboration, emphasizing the goal of reaching a broader audience, especially in regions lacking financial resources. The company envisions Roblox and Telegram as entry points for users eager to learn about finance in an engaging manner.
