Animoca Brands About

Updated

Animoca Brands is a digital asset and technology group headquartered in Hong Kong. Founded in January 2014, it develops Web3 businesses, provides digital asset services and invests in companies and blockchain projects. Its registered corporate name is Animoca Brands Corporation Limited, an Australian company with ACN 122 921 813.

Businesses and services

The group’s consumer businesses span games, digital identity and education. They include Moca Network, Open Campus, Anichess and The Sandbox. The Sandbox is a subsidiary; its SAND token is distinct from equity in the operating company. In March 2025, Animoca announced a partnership with Soneium to integrate Moca Network’s identity infrastructure. Animoca’s institutional projects include NUVA, a platform incubated with NUVA Labs to connect tokenized assets with onchain markets, and its interest in Anchorpoint Financial.

Its digital asset services division offers token strategy, economic modelling, research, marketing, partnerships, liquidity provisioning and blockchain node operations. These are services for projects and businesses. Product access, pricing and eligibility depend on the particular service and contracting entity.

Investments and historical projects

Animoca reports a portfolio of more than 600 companies and digital assets. Its published portfolio index includes firms such as Consensys, Dapper Labs, Ledger, Magic Eden, MoonPay, OpenSea and Yuga Labs. The group combines investments with subsidiaries and internally developed projects; those relationships should be distinguished from customer relationships or a uniform ownership stake.

The portfolio links below include selected companies and historical token projects. REVV is associated with the group’s motorsport gaming business, while Bondly Finance was subsequently rebranded as Forj. These historical associations do not establish a current holding, investment size or endorsement. The company’s own portfolio disclosures do not provide a position-by-position statement of current ownership.

Leadership and research

Yat Siu is co-founder, executive chairman and managing director. The executive leadership also includes group president Evan Auyang, chief development officer Brian Chan, chief operating officer Minh Do, chief financial officer Shaun Kraft, general counsel Jamii Quoc and CEO of investments Robby Yung. Animoca Research publishes analysis of tokenization, digital assets and other Web3 markets, including a 2026 series co-authored with Franklin Templeton.

Regulation and availability

On November 2, 2026, Animoca announced that subsidiary Animoca Asset Management (AD) Limited had received Financial Services Permission from ADGM’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority to manage collective investment funds in or from ADGM. This is an entity-specific fund-management permission, rather than a general authorization for every group business or jurisdiction.

Its group website provides corporate information rather than a shared signup system for every product. Availability and onboarding requirements vary by product and jurisdiction. Its corporate contact page accepts general, investor, press and technical enquiries. Digital assets, games and tokenized investments involve market, liquidity, technology and counterparty risks; tokenization does not remove the risks of an underlying asset.
