Animoca Brands targets AI, stablecoins and DeFi as it expands 600-company portfolio next year
6.0
Animoca Brands said it will broaden its investment focus beyond gaming next year, targeting AI, DePIN, DeFi, stablecoins and other Web3 infrastructure as it expands a portfolio of about 628 companies. Gaming still accounts for the largest share — roughly 230 investments — but leadership named stablecoins a near-term priority and flagged institutional utility adoption as crucial. The company is preparing a Nasdaq listing via a reverse merger with fintech Currenc Group while tracking regulatory developments such as the proposed U.S. crypto market structure bill.
