Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu says NEOM “could well become the first region to fully harness the power of blockchain.” The firm is planning to establish a web3 hub in the city. 
The news comes shortly after NEOM’s investment subsidiary <a href="https://www.neom.com/en-us/newsroom/neom-announces-investment-fund" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">included</a> Animoca Brands among other firms in its investment list in a bid to establish businesses and create a “thriving economy in NEOM.” 
NEOM is a $500 billion valued futuristic smart city, which Saudi Arabia is building in a desert bordering the Red Sea from scratch. A key percentage of the city is expected to be completed by 2030. It is planned that NEOM will include a floating industrial complex, enterprise hubs, tourist areas, and sports venues.
