Animoca Brands, a Hong Kong-based Web3 investment firm, aims for a public listing in New York, favoring it over previous listing plans in Hong Kong or the Middle East.

Co-founder Yat Siu pointed to the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance as a unique opportunity to enter the US market. The listing decision marks a strategic shift and reflects hopes for better opportunities in the US.

Following Animoca's delisting from the Australian Stock Exchange in 2020, the company has grown into a major Web3 investor.

Its potential IPO in the US is seen as a significant step for the firm, amid a favorable regulatory climate under Trump's policies.
