Animoca Brands is shifting toward large-scale stablecoin and RWA tokenization initiatives in 2025. Partnerships in Hong Kong and globally are being used to build regulated stablecoin infrastructure and institutional-grade RWA distribution. The company still plans to expand its Web3 gaming ecosystem while preparing for a Nasdaq listing via reverse merger.
Over the next year, the company plans to concentrate on two sectors that are growing quickly across institutional markets: stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
New Phase Begins
Rather than entering the market gradually, Animoca intends to scale both areas immediately. Keyvan Peymani, the company’s chief strategy officer, described the move as the start of a new business phase focused on financial rails instead of purely entertainment-driven ecosystems.
That transition has already begun. Earlier this year, Animoca launched Anchorpoint Financial, a Hong Kong joint venture built with Standard Chartered and Hong Kong Telecommunications. Anchorpoint aims to secure a local stablecoin issuer license — a sign that Animoca wants to build stablecoin products that meet regulatory expectations from day one.
RWA Partnerships Expand Global Footprint
The company’s second area of focus — RWA tokenization — is taking shape through a network of international partnerships.
Animoca is collaborating with Fosun Wealth and FinChain to distribute tokenized investment products outside of Asia, helping traditional finance firms enter global blockchain markets. More recently, the group struck a deal with Hang Feng Technology Innovation Co., listed on Nasdaq, to co-develop infrastructure for institutional use of RWAs.
Gaming Remains Part of the Plan
Although the company is repositioning itself around digital finance, its gaming portfolio is not being scaled back. Titles and platforms such as The Sandbox, Moca ID, Anichess, and EDU Chain will continue to receive development resources.
Animoca maintains that Web3 gaming, where players retain ownership of in-game assets, still has long-term commercial potential and remains a strategic pillar going into 2026.
Public Listing Path Opens in the United States
Animoca is also planning corporate restructuring with public-market access in mind. The company intends to list on the Nasdaq through a reverse merger with Currenc Group Inc., a Singapore-based fintech firm working in artificial intelligence.
If approved, Animoca would hold a controlling stake in the merged entity and inherit Currenc’s Nasdaq listing, enabling its broad portfolio of tokenization and gaming projects to trade on U.S. markets.
Positioning for the Next Stage of Web3
Animoca’s strategy reflects a shift from being primarily an investor in Web3 entertainment to becoming a multi-segment operator spanning gaming, digital assets, and tokenized finance. The company is positioning itself for a market where infrastructure — rather than game releases alone — becomes a core revenue driver.
