Nasdaq-listed OpenWorld has signed a merger agreement to acquire AI agent company Blocksight, KuCoin reported, citing ChainCatcher's account of reporting by The Block.

Blocksight's agents are expected to handle transaction structuring, asset verification and daily reporting for OpenWorld's recently announced tokenization financing initiative. That initiative exceeds $1.1 billion in total value; the figure describes the financing initiative rather than the acquisition price.
