True Global Ventures (TGV), the Singapore-based global venture capital firm investing in artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology companies, have celebrated a historic week in the United States as Forge Global’s $660 million acquisition and Animoca Brands’ planned Nasdaq listing mark defining moments for the firm’s Funds 4 and 5.
TGV said in a statement on Tuesday that the two of TGV’s flagship investments — Forge Global Holdings and Animoca Brands Corporation Limited — have each achieved transformative milestones that highlight the fund’s long term commitment to backing visionary entrepreneurs shaping the future of finance and digital assets.
Charles Schwab Corporation has agreed to acquire Forge Global for approximately $660 million, valuing the company at about $45 per share.
Forge Global has pioneered digital infrastructure that enables liquidity in private equity and venture capital, connecting investors, shareholders, and private companies in one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing secondaries ecosystems.
“Moments like this remind us why we invest for the long run. Forge Global has redefined how liquidity is created and managed in private markets. Its acquisition by Charles Schwab reflects the accelerating convergence between traditional finance and the private-markets economy — a space where TGV has invested since inception,
“We believe that Forge Global will continue to innovate in areas like tokenization of private company stock and funds,” said Dušan Stojanović, original founder of True Global Ventures, a visionary supporting extraordinary entrepreneurs.
Kelly Rodrigues, Chief Executive Officer of Forge Global, added this partnership with Charles Schwab represents an inflection point for private markets.
“Forge was built to democratize access to private-company investments, and joining forces with one of the world’s most trusted financial institutions will dramatically accelerate that mission,
“We’re proud to have had long-term partners like TGV who believed in this vision from the start,” she added.
Meanwhile, Animoca Brands has proposed a merger with Currenc Group Inc. through which its shareholders would own approximately 95 percent of the combined entity.
The merger is expected to complete in the second half of 2026 and result in a Nasdaq-listed company.
Animoca Brands is building the foundational layer of digital property rights.
Its partnership with Currenc creates powerful potential synergies across cross-border payments, stable coins, and tokenized digital assets — combining Web3 innovation with next-generation financial infrastructure.
Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, commented a Nasdaq listing via Currenc represents a major step toward mainstream adoption of digital assets and tokenization.
“It enables us to bring the benefits of digital property rights — from gaming and education to finance and beyond — to an even broader audience,” he said.
He continued that the firm’s collaboration with Currenc reflects shared DNA — both organizations are reinventing how value moves globally.
“Together, we aim to accelerate the transition toward open, interoperable digital economies. True Global Ventures has been a steadfast believer in this vision from the very beginning,” he added.
Dušan Stojanović, commented that TGV’s partnership spans over a decade, and seeing Animoca prepare for a Nasdaq listing is not only a testament to Yat Siu’s vision, but to the power of persistence, innovation, and global collaboration.
These two milestones — one in private-markets liquidity, the other in digital-asset infrastructure — epitomize TGV’s investment philosophy: back visionary founders, accelerate scale in United States and globally, bridge traditional finance with AI and blockchain innovation, said the statement.
A few months after being granted as a License Fund Management Company (LFMC) with a Capital Markets Services (CMS) license by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), TGV said it is now celebrating two major successes in the U.S, positioning itself among the best-performing venture capital funds globally.
