Animoca Brands Plans New York IPO as US Crypto Market Reopens

Animoca Brands, a Hong Kong-based blockchain gaming and investment company, is preparing to list its shares on the U.S. stock market, eyeing a New York debut amid a surge in interest for cryptocurrencies. The move comes amidst a shifting regulatory landscape under President Donald Trump’s administration, which has seen a marked easing of enforcement actions against the crypto industry. Executive chairman Yat Siu cites this as a key motivator for Animoca’s upcoming IPO. The company is actively exploring different shareholding structures for its potential U.S. listing, with an announcement expected soon.
