Overview
Animoca Brands Corporation Ltd. is a Hong Kong-based game software and venture capital company co-founded in 2014 by Yat Siu and David Kim. The company initially focused on mobile games, then shifted to blockchain gaming and NFTs in 2018, and to AI in 2025.
Its best-known product is The Sandbox, a blockchain-based virtual world, and it holds a large venture portfolio of gaming, NFT, and Web3 investments across companies such as OpenSea and Axie Infinity.
Animoca Brands was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange from January 2015 until it delisted in March 2020, and as of September 2026 it remains privately held while pursuing a proposed U.S. listing through a reverse merger with Nasdaq-listed Currenc Group Inc.
Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and involve risk of complete loss of principal. You should be prepared to hold private securities for an extended period; there is no assurance of a secondary market, an IPO, or other liquidity event. You are fully responsible for conducting your own due diligence. Pricing is indicative — nothing here is an offer of securities.
