The company is considering listing either in Hong Kong or the Middle East, as stated by co-founder Yat Siu.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.82 --><\/p>\n<p>This move would represent a return to public markets for Animoca, over four years after its delisting from the Australian Securities Exchange due to accounting concerns. Both <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/tag\/hong-kong\/\">Hong Kong<\/a> and the Middle East have positioned themselves as crypto-friendly hubs by developing regulations tailored to the needs of crypto companies, as part of broader efforts to attract tech firms and expand capital markets in these regions.<\/p>\n<p>While the exact location for the initial public offering (IPO) has not been finalized, Animoca is known for its substantial investments in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/glossary\/nft-non-fungible-token\/\">non-fungible tokens (NFTs)<\/a> and crypto gaming companies, indicating a strong strategic direction for the potential public listing.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.82 --><\/p>\n<p>In addition, Web3 platform Redacted has secured $10 million in funding, led by Spartan Group with participation from Saison Capital, Animoca Brands, and Polygon Ventures.
