The crypto trends Animoca Brands is eyeing this year — Token2049
Animoca Brands is focusing on trends in real-world tokenized assets, AI projects, and gaming for investment and development. Key areas of exploration include stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, AI-crypto intersections, decentralized science, and Web3 gaming. The company acknowledges a quieter period in Web3 gaming but notes recent enjoyable game releases. Animoca Brands is a leading crypto-native venture capital firm, reflecting emerging market trends. In February 2025, Animoca Brands partnered with Standard Chartered Bank and Hong Kong Telecommunications to develop an overcollateralized Hong Kong dollar stablecoin, pending approval from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. In March, a deal with Soneium was signed to create a digital identification system featuring anime characters for on-chain user identity. The company reported a 12% year-over-year growth in bookings for the 2024 fiscal year.
