Five years after its shares were delisted from the crypto-critical ASX Australian stock exchange, Animoca Brands is looking to IPO again, this time in the increasingly-crypto-friendly US. As detailed in the Financial Times , chairman Yat Siu is quoted as saying a US listing was “a very important part of the roadmap”, pointing both to changing regulatory conditions as well as the lack of local competition due to the SEC’s propensity to sue US crypto companies under the Biden administration. Siu also commented “It’s a unique moment in time. I feel like it would be one heck of a wasted opportunity if we didn’t at least try.” Animoca’s most recent financials detail full year 2024 bookings of $314 million , up 12% YoY — with total assets of $4.3 billion plus $2.9 billion-worth of tokens such as SAND, EDU, MOCA and GMEE which are currently illiquid. If nothing else, Animoca’s over 450 investments in blockchains and consumer-facing products mean it would be able to market its stock as effectively the broadest crypto ETF, even though it’s technically not a ETF but the stock of an individual company. An announcement could come “soon”, Yat Siu told the Financial Times, with the company examining several shareholding structures.
