Animoca Brands, a significant venture capital investor in the cryptocurrency sphere, is strategizing for a Nasdaq listing next year. This ambition is set to materialize through a reverse merger with Currenc Group, an AI-focused public fintech firm. According to a joint statement released Monday, Currenc has entered into a non-binding term sheet with Animoca to acquire 100% of Animoca Brands' issued shares. This acquisition will be executed via a reverse merger, ultimately targeting a Nasdaq listing under the Animoca Brands name. Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca, stated in a shareholder letter that "upon completion of the reverse merger, the shareholders of Animoca Brands would collectively own approximately 95% of the issued shares in the merged entity." The remaining 5% stake would be held by Currenc shareholders. The companies anticipate the merger's completion in 2026. This will result in a Nasdaq-listed entity with a global growth strategy encompassing cryptocurrency investments, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and various other blockchain technology applications. Animoca's expansive portfolio includes 628 companies and organizations. Siu emphasized that the proposed merger will establish "the world's first publicly-listed, diversified digital assets conglomerate" providing "direct access to the growth potential of the trillion-dollar altcoin digital economy." He further elaborated that the upcoming diversified vehicle will span multiple sectors, including decentralized finance (DeFi), artificial intelligence (AI), gaming, and decentralized science (DeSci). Since its inception in 2014, Hong Kong-based Animoca Brands has risen to prominence as a major VC player in the crypto space, boasting a portfolio of 628 companies and organizations worldwide. "We believe that this proposed transaction would usher in a new asset class that should position investors at the forefront of one of the greatest opportunities of our generation," Siu commented. Currenc Group was founded in 2011 by technology and fintech entrepreneur King Ong Kong, with a mission to transform global financial services through AI. Its services include digital payments, cross-border finance, AI-driven financial services, e-wallets, and data centers. Siu noted, "In 2024 alone, Currenc processed over $5.4 billion and facilitated more than 13 million cross-border transactions."
