Animoca Announces ADGM Fund-Management Permission for Institutional Expansion
Summary
Animoca Brands says its Abu Dhabi subsidiary, Animoca Asset Management (AD) Limited, has received ADGM permission to manage collective investment funds. The authorization, effective October 13, 2026, excludes retail clients and does not allow the firm to hold or control client assets. It adds a regulated route for institutional business but is not a blanket crypto-services licence and does not establish investor demand or committed capital. Animoca’s separate Dubai permissions apply to another entity and services. The next indicators of a substantive offering would be details on specific funds, investment objectives, custody, fees, eligible investors and redemption terms.
