GBV to promote OMG Network in the Asian region
GBV has been a major player in the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry. The team entered many partnerships with the leading players in the space, including Binance and FTX.
Following the acquisition, a number of integrations and partnerships are in the works; GBV and OMG will work closely together to leverage resources and explore new directions, such as building lending and trading platforms, to achieve DeFi's massive adoption and growth potential, the press-release says.
The team confirmed that OMG's native token would retain its functionality as a utility token within the OMG Network.

However, in the long run, it will re-focus on more partnerships to broaden the use cases.
