Animoca Brands Plans Nasdaq Listing Through Reverse Merger

Animoca Brands Plans Nasdaq Listing Through Reverse Merger

Animoca Brands, a crypto gaming heavyweight based in Hong Kong, has announced plans to go public in the United States by merging with Currenc Group. The move is structured as a reverse merger, with Currenc set to acquire 100 percent of Animoca’s shares. Once the dust settles, Animoca’s 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. Speed Over Tradition 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. Back in 2022, Animoca was valued at roughly $6 billion. Source: Shutterstock Now, the company sees this listing as a way to expand its reach and increase visibility within the growing digital assets space. A Massive Web3 Portfolio Animoca has built a wide presence across crypto gaming, NFTs, and blockchain infrastructure. As of September 30, the firm had 628 active investments across games, sports, digital art, and the metaverse. Its treasury includes holdings in major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, along with its own token, MOCA. That mix of assets and exposure gives it a unique position in the Web3 ecosystem. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 How the Merger Will Work Currenc plans to issue new shares to Animoca’s investors, which will make Animoca the dominant player in the new entity. While the agreement is still non-binding, it lays the foundation for what could become a major crossover between crypto and public markets. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Currenc says it will wind down its current operations, including its digital remittance business, as part of the merger. Wall Street Is Paying Attention After the announcement, shares of Currenc jumped, showing that investors are intrigued by what this merger could mean. It fits into a broader 2025 trend where more crypto firms are looking for ways to list publicly, whether through traditional IPOs or alternative deals like this one. The enthusiasm points to a growing appetite for companies that bridge crypto with more familiar financial structures. DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 What Needs to Happen Next Before anything becomes official, both companies will need to complete detailed merger documentation. They’ll also need approval from regulators and their respective shareholders. If everything stays on track, the merger would close in 2026, putting Animoca on the Nasdaq. All eyes will be on how the company structures, handles Currenc’s obligations, and sets its course as a public firm. A Glimpse Into Crypto’s Public Future This move reflects a larger trend within the industry. Crypto-native firms are increasingly finding ways to plug into traditional markets without giving up their Web3 roots. For Animoca, going public through a reverse merger could offer the reach and stability needed for long-term growth. For the rest of the sector, it might serve as a blueprint for what comes next.

Cryptocurrency's short lifespan: Why is long-term value building so difficult?

Cryptocurrency's short lifespan: Why is long-term value building so difficult?

Original title: Why Crypto Can't Build Anything Long-Term Original author: rosie Original article translated by: Odaily Planet Daily Golem Most of the crypto founders I know are now on their third transformation. This group developed NFT platforms in 2021, moved to DeFi yields in 2022, and then to AI agents in 2023/24. Now they're chasing this quarter's hottest trend (maybe prediction markets). Their transformation wasn't wrong; in fact, in many ways, their strategy was correct. The problem is that this model itself makes it difficult to build any products that can thrive in the long term. 18-month product cycle New concept emerges → Capital flows in → Everyone transforms → Continues to develop for 6-9 months → New concept disappears → Transformation again. A crypto cycle used to last 3-4 years (during the ICO era), then shortened to 2 years, and now, with luck, a crypto cycle can last a maximum of 18 months. Crypto venture capital fell by nearly 60% in the second quarter of 2025, leaving crypto founders without enough time and money to develop before the next narrative forces them to transform again. It's nearly impossible to build anything meaningful in 18 months. Real infrastructure takes at least 3-5 years, and achieving true product-market fit takes years, not just a few quarters of iteration. However, if crypto founders continue using last year's narratives, they're wasting money, investors will abandon them, and users will churn. Some investors will even pressure crypto founders to conform to current trends, while their teams will begin evaluating investments in projects that have secured funding based on this quarter's hottest narratives. Sunk cost fallacy as a survival mechanism Traditional business advice advises against falling into the sunk cost fallacy: if a project doesn't work, immediately switch to another. However, the crypto space has completely fallen into this trap, treating the sunk cost fallacy as a survival mechanism. Now, no one persists long enough to validate what they're doing; instead, they switch at the first sign of resistance—slow user growth, difficulty in securing funding—all of which lead to a shift in strategy. Every crypto founder makes this trade-off: Continue developing your existing product; you might succeed in 2-3 years. If you're lucky, you might even secure a new round of funding. • Shift to a trending narrative: secure immediate funding, showcase paper profits, and exit before anyone realizes it's not working. The second option wins in the vast majority of cases. The project is always nearing completion. Few crypto projects actually deliver on their roadmaps. Most are always in a "near completion" state, missing just one feature to achieve product-market fit. They never truly arrive because halfway through, the market winds shift, and overnight, completing your DeFi protocol becomes meaningless, as everyone's talking about AI proxies. The market will punish completed projects. This is because a finished product has its known limitations, while a product that is "about to be completed" still has unlimited narrative potential. Capital chases attention, not completion. In the crypto space, if you have a new narrative, you can raise $50 million even without a product; if the narrative is established and the product is available, it may be difficult to raise even $5 million; if it's an old narrative, with a product and real users, then it may be impossible to raise funds at all. VCs don't invest in products; they invest in attention. Attention flows to new narratives, not old ones. Most teams nowadays are focused on "narrative maximization," optimizing solely to attract funding for any given story, without caring what they're actually doing. Completing projects limits you, while abandoning them gives you more options. Team retention rate If you're a crypto founder, once a new narrative emerges, your top developers might be poached for hot new projects with double the salary, and your head of marketing might be snatched up by a company that just raised $100 million. You can't compete because you abandoned the hot narrative six months ago to truly finish the project you started. Nobody wants to participate in boring, stable projects. What they want are chaotic, well-funded projects that might collapse but could potentially yield tenfold returns. User attention duration Crypto users sometimes use a product simply because it's new, because everyone's talking about it, or because there might be an airdrop. Once the narrative shifts, they leave, and no one cares whether the product is subsequently improved or whether the features they requested are added. In fact, we cannot build sustainable products for unsustainable users. Some crypto founders have repeatedly shifted their focus to such an extent that they themselves have forgotten their original goals. Decentralized social networks → NFT market → DeFi aggregator → gaming infrastructure → AI agent → prediction market... Transformation is no longer a strategic issue, but has become the core of the entire business model. Infrastructure Paradox In the crypto world, most things that endure are those established before cryptocurrencies gained widespread attention. Bitcoin was born when no one cared, without venture capital or ICOs. Ethereum was born before the ICO craze, before people foresaw the future of smart contracts. Most things born during a hype cycle die out as the cycle ends, while those born before the cycle are more likely to succeed. However, the reality is that very few people develop a narrative before it even begins due to a lack of funding, attention, and exit liquidity. Why is this situation so difficult to change? Token-based incentives create liquidity exit opportunities. Founders and investors will do so as long as they can exit before the product matures. Information and sentiment spread far faster than construction. By the time a project is completed, everyone knows the outcome. The entire value proposition of the crypto industry is evolving rapidly; to demand that crypto develop slowly is tantamount to demanding that it become something it was never meant to be. This means that if you spend three years building a product, someone else can copy your idea and launch a product in three months with worse code and a better marketing strategy. Then they win. Cryptocurrencies are difficult to build any long-term products because they are structurally at odds with long-term thinking. You can be a principled founder who refuses to change course, remaining true to your original vision and spending years, not months, on development. But you're more likely to go bankrupt, be forgotten, and ultimately be replaced by those who changed course three times during the time it took to release the first version of your product. The market doesn't reward completion, but rather the continuous creation of new things. Perhaps the true innovation in the crypto industry lies not in the technology itself, but in how to obtain the greatest value with the least investment.
