PiP World is on a mission to transform financial education. With $10 million in fresh investment from Exinity, the blockchain startup is building an interactive platform that combines learning and gaming to empower users with crypto knowledge, much like Duolingo did for languages.
PiP World, a blockchain startup focused on the gaming sector, has successfully raised $10 million in seed funding from Exinity, a global fintech company based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
According to a press release shared with Coinspeaker, PiP World plans to use the funds to build an innovative platform dubbed the ‘Duolingo of Crypto.’ This new platform will combine engaging gameplay with personalized learning, aimed at empowering users with knowledge of cryptocurrencies and financial markets.
Infusing Gameplay to Financial Education
Unlike traditional learning apps, the company said the new platform will incorporate interactive gaming elements to make learning more dynamic and enjoyable.
PiP World already operates an extensive gaming ecosystem, featuring titles such as PiP Trader, PiP World’s Gold Rush, PiP Academy, and StockRise.
PiP Trader is a AAA-level strategy management game where players build and manage trading portfolios, simulating real-world financial competition. The second game, PiP World’s Gold Rush is a tap-to-earn game available on Telegram, offering users the chance to earn rewards through simple gameplay.
As for PiP Academy, the game is designed to make complex financial concepts accessible through interactive gameplay while StockRise is a stock market simulation game hosted on Roblox, where users can experience stock trading in an engaging, interactive environment.
With the backing of Exinity, PiP World plans to integrate these games into its upcoming ‘Duolingo of Crypto’, platform, providing users with tools to navigate modern financial markets effectively.
Global Expansion Plans
Beyond the educational platform, the funds will support PiP World’s business expansion into key markets, particularly those where access to financial tools and knowledge remains limited.
According to the company, the move is part of its long-term mission to democratize financial education and provide users with the skills needed to succeed in today’s economy.
“We are thrilled to partner with Exinity as we work towards transforming how people learn about financial markets,” said Saad Naja, CEO of PiP World. “This investment will allow us to expand our offerings globally, especially in emerging markets where financial education is lacking.”

PiPe World Partners Exinity
In addition to securing funding, PiP World has also formed a strategic partnership with Exinity. The collaboration will see PiP World integrate its StockRise game into Exinity’s platform, creating a seamless fusion of gaming and financial education.
The company said the partnership comes at a time when the Middle East is opening its shores to Web3 gaming. According to
PiP World, some of the major cities in the region including Dubai is positioning itself as a global hub for the industry. The city has been projected to attract up to 100 million gamers and create a market valued at over $1 billion by 2025.
