Animoca Brands, a Hong Kong-based gaming and metaverse company, is considering a listing next year, Chairman Yat Siu has revealed.
According to an article in The Information, Animoca is considering listing in Hong Kong or the Middle East where cryptocurrency-friendly policies are in place. This article first reported the listing plans.
The company confirmed the news to The Block. “It will depend on many factors, but we are confident we will list. And if we do, it will most likely be in the second half of 2025.” Siu said in an email response to The Block.
Animoca, once listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, was delisted from the ASX in 2020 following an investigation into its cryptocurrency-related activities. “It’s difficult to say at this point, but the board and management are working on it and hope to get it done as quickly as possible.” said At that time.
Founded in 2014, Animoca is valued at $5.9 billion after a funding round in 2022. It has invested in leading blockchain and Web3 projects including The Sandbox, Axie Infinity, and TON Network.
