PALO ALTO, California, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mega Matrix Corp. (“MTMT” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MTMT), today announced its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

We launched our GameFi business in late March 2022 and have started to generate revenues for the first quarter of 2022. We will be focusing on the development of new games and on the diversification of our services related to NFTs and our metaverse platform “aLSpace”. We aim to further support the crypto-ecosystem and continue to add value to our shareholder and our players.”
