The decision to go public is a strategic move aimed at capitalizing on the burgeoning interest in blockchain technology and digital assets. Notably, this move marks a return to the public markets for the company as it was delisted from the Australian Securities Exchange four years ago.&nbsp;
By choosing Hong Kong or the Middle East as potential IPO venues, Animoca Brands is looking to tap into regions showing strong support for blockchain innovation and digital asset regulation. With its robust financial infrastructure and status as a global financial hub, Hong Kong presents a compelling option for Animoca Brands. As such, a public listing in Hong Kong would provide Animoca Brands access to a vast pool of investors and a well-established capital market.
On the other hand, the Middle East, particularly the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has emerged as a significant player in the digital asset space. An IPO in this region would align with Animoca Brands’ vision of expanding its global footprint and tapping into new markets. As Animoca Brands continues to evaluate its options, the potential IPO in 2025 represents a milestone for the company.
