PANews February 13 News, Web3 entertainment ecosystem project YOAKE announced an additional investment of approximately $3.2 million from Sony Innovation Fund, which will accelerate the expansion of on-chain entertainment scenarios on Sony’s blockchain network Soneium. The company is developing “IRC APP” based on Soneium, using the $REC token to record and reward fan support activities, forming a tradable value system.

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