The Spanish sports technology company, VRM, has closed an investment round of two million euros, led by the Swedish blockchain company, ChromaWay. The objective is to jointly develop new opportunities in the content creation for the metaverseNFTs and games.
The young Spanish company VRM (Virtual Real Management), which is based in Barcelona, has become in just a year and a half a key player in the metaverse market in Europe, since, at the moment, it represents more than 50 brands and accumulates more than 150,000 users.
VRM has collaborated in recent months in the creation of NFT and/or virtual content for several top-tier partners, such as Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Basketball, LaLiga, Roland Garros and F1 Virtual Paddock Club. The latest milestone has been the pioneering creation of the “Trophy and Rings” NFT collection to honor the champions of the recent Euroleague Basketball 2022. The collection offers fans a new way to interact with their favorite players and teams through from the website www.euroleagueland.com.
ChromaWay’s investment in VRM reaffirms the position of the Swedish multinational in the international sports industry, which will allow the development of new projects linked to the world of sport and blockchain technology.
The Swedish company, with its Chromia blockchain, has created nearly 1,000 million euros of value among the projects that are being developed on it. Chromia was specifically designed to address the shortcomings of existing platforms: poor user experience, high transaction fees, frustrating experience for developers, and poor security. This allows developers to scale decentralized applications to millions of users as if they were traditional applications.

For his part, Henrik Hjelte, CEO of ChromaWay, stressed that “VRM has built an impressive list of clients and is at the forefront of both licensed NFTs and the rapidly expanding virtual experience market.” “We believe -he added- that our blockchain technology, together with the VRM experience, can be combined to create experiences of a higher level that will delight both end users and customers.”
