Web3 entertainment company YOAKE secured $3.2 million in strategic funding from Sony Innovation Fund.

PANews reported on February 13th that YOAKE, a Web3 entertainment ecosystem project, announced an additional investment of approximately $3.2 million from Sony Innovation Fund. This investment will accelerate the expansion of on-chain entertainment scenarios on Sony's Soneium blockchain network. The company is developing an "IRC APP" based on Soneium, using $REC tokens to record and reward fan support activities, forming a transferable value system. YOAKE plans to upgrade this mechanism into infrastructure serving various IPs including music, film, games, and animation, and will use Japanese "oshikatsu" (fan support culture) as an entry point to promote related products and gameplay overseas, connecting global fan communities and content providers.

YOAKE has raised approximately $4.45 million in total funding to date, including $1.25 million in the Extended Seed round completed in April 2025 .
