Animoca Brands, a crypto gaming heavyweight based in Hong Kong, has announced plans to go public in the United States <\/span>by merging<\/span> with Currenc Group. The move <\/span>is structured<\/span> as a reverse merger, with Currenc set to acquire 100 percent of Animoca\u2019s shares. Once the dust settles, Animoca\u2019s shareholders would hold around 95 percent of the newly formed public company. The deal is targeting a 2026 close, pending approval from both shareholders and regulators.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speed Over Tradition<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rather than go through the longer process of a traditional IPO, Animoca is opting for a quicker route to the Nasdaq. This reverse merger gives them a faster track while still unlocking access to U.S. capital markets. <\/span>Back in 2022, Animoca <\/span>was valued<\/span> at roughly $6 billion<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
