Social game developer GreenPark Sports has announced a $31 million Series B funding round led by Terraform Capital, including existing investor Galaxy Interactive, new investor FTX associate Alameda Research, and others. The investment will support the company in its first non-fungible token (NFT) drop. 

Founded by three former CEOs of major platforms, Chad Hurley (Youtube), Nick Swinmurn (Zappos) and Ken Martin (Blitz marketing), the startup aims to create a virtual sports universe or metaverse.
