In a January 16 announcement, SparkPoint stated that it acquired another Bicol-based crypto firm Ownly to strengthen its position in blockchain and AI innovation, particularly in NFTs and web3 solutions.
- The Aftermath: To celebrate the acquisition, those who hold Ownly’s native token, $OWN, and its released NFTs, will receive $SRK to foster ecosystem integration and reward loyalty.
- Why It Matters to SparkPoint? For $SRK holders, SparkPoint noted that the acquisition will increase utility, enhanced rewards, and greater exposure through integration into AI and blockchain platforms.
“By integrating Ownly’s robust NFT framework with SparkPoint’s growing suite of products, we’re laying the foundation for a more interconnected ecosystem. This move strengthens our position in the Web3 space and opens up new opportunities for innovation, particularly through SparkAgent — our flagship AI agent launchpad designed to revolutionize businesses and communities.”
