Animoca Brands Targets $6B US IPO Amid Trump’s Pro-Crypto Shift

Hong Kong-based crypto investment firm Animoca Brands is preparing for a $6 billion initial public offering in New York, capitalizing on the regulatory pivot under the Trump administration. The move follows the rollback of restrictive cryptocurrency policies implemented during the Biden era, which had constrained industry growth.

Chairman Yat Siu characterized the listing as a watershed moment for accessing global capital markets after years of hostile regulation. The decision reflects growing confidence in US crypto markets following President Trump’s executive actions to drop enforcement cases and promote digital asset innovation.

Wall Street’s appeal has strengthened considerably since the policy reversal, with the administration explicitly positioning the US to reclaim leadership in blockchain development. This regulatory thaw comes as major financial centers compete to establish dominance in the $2.2 trillion digital asset sector.
