Announced by the company on X the same day. Wamda calls it a USD 3M Series A; Entrepreneur India calls it a strategic investment; entArabi/WAYA headline 'USD 8.5M Series A', which is the cumulative total (3M + 5.5M seed), not the round size. No lead named.

Raised by the predecessor entity ArtistFirst Technology Inc (music-NFT platform FanTiger, founded by Prashan Agarwal and Krishna Singh), later rebranded/pivoted to FanTV and relocated to Dubai. FanTV's own May 2024 press release and the Feb 2025 coverage cite this USD 5.5M seed led by Multicoin as its earlier round, so it is the company's own history, not a parent's.
