But thanks to a shifting political mood in Washington, the company now sees a shot at taking its crypto business mainstream on American soil. The possibility of an Animoca U.S. listing highlights how Trump\u2019s policies are changing the crypto landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And yes, you can probably thank Donald Trump for that.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Changed?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In short, the White House changed hands, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> so did the regulatory tone. Animoca\u2019s Executive Chairman Yat Siu says the current moment feels like a rare window for crypto companies. Under Trump, federal agencies seem to be walking back the heavy-handed enforcement vibe of previous years and leaning into clearer, more welcoming rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Animoca Brands is planning to go public in the US <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.1.0\/72x72\/1f440.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc40\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"> <\/p>\n<p>Imagine, when the black rock of web3 is doing an IPO in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the impact on Mocaverse NFTs from Animoca, a company where web3 ethos is not only teached but lived and is built in the DNA of the corporation.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eVen2a2Wn1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/eVen2a2Wn1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0ajjW2i0df\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/0ajjW2i0df<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 M\u00f3kus (@kryptomokus) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kryptomokus\/status\/1922218541018689645?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">May 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That has companies like Animoca, which once looked to Hong Kong or other crypto-friendly regions for growth, suddenly reevaluating what\u2019s possible in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Siu called this a \u201cunique moment,\u201d and frankly, he might be right.

Animoca is sitting on $300 million in reserves and another $538 million in digital assets. That includes a basket of tokens and crypto tied to their investments, and they\u2019ve got a lot of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Who Do They Back? Pretty Much Everyone<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you\u2019ve spent more than a few minutes in the crypto space, you\u2019ve probably heard of a project Animoca has touched. The company has made early bets on OpenSea, Kraken, ConsenSys, Yield Guild Games, and countless others. In total, they hold equity in over 400 Web3 startups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">They also own and develop well-known gaming projects like The Sandbox, which makes them one of the few companies successfully straddling the line between crypto, gaming, and digital ownership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-crypto-to-buy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Top 20 Crypto to Buy in May 2025<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So What\u2019s Next?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Animoca hasn\u2019t filed anything official yet, but the IPO planning is in motion. They\u2019re figuring out how to structure the offering and handle their global shareholder base. When it happens, a U.S. IPO would mark a huge shift in how crypto companies interact with American markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This could set the tone for others. If Animoca pulls it off, don\u2019t be surprised if more blockchain firms line up to list publicly in the States. The stigma that once kept them away is starting to fade.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Animoca U.S. listing: What to Expect?<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Animoca\u2019s U.S. IPO ambitions are more than just a business decision, they\u2019re a weather report for the crypto industry. After years of stormy skies in the U.S., the clouds might finally be clearing. And if companies like Animoca are looking up, it probably means the forecast is warming up for Web3 as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">DISCOVER:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/next-crypto-to-explode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/B7Uk6agkqj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener nofollow\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">    <\/p>\n<div class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways\">\n<h3 class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__title\">Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">    <\/p>\n<ul class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list\">\n        <\/ul>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">    <\/p>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Animoca Brands is preparing for a U.S. IPO, citing a more favorable regulatory environment under Donald Trump\u2019s administration.    <\/li>\n<p>    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">    <\/p>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Executive Chairman Yat Siu called the current political climate a \u201cunique moment\u201d for crypto firms to explore U.S. market entry.    <\/li>\n<p>    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">    <\/p>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        The company reported $314 million in revenue and $97 million in unaudited earnings last year, supported by strong reserves and digital assets.    <\/li>\n<p>    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">    <\/p>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Animoca has equity in over 400 Web3 startups and is known for major projects like The Sandbox and early investments in OpenSea and Kraken.    <\/li>\n<p>    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">    <\/p>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        If successful, Animoca\u2019s U.S. listing could signal a broader shift in how crypto companies engage with American capital markets.    <\/li>\n<p>    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">    <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/adoption\/animoca-brands-plans-u-s-ipo-as-trump-softens-crypto-rules\/\">Animoca Brands Plans U.S. IPO as Trump Softens Crypto Rules<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Animoca Brands, one of the biggest names in Web3 gaming and digital assets, is plotting a move that would\u2019ve sounded far-fetched not long ago: going public in the United States.
