In a CNBC interview, Peymani explained that Animoca Brands invests in dozens of companies annually, with the aim of capitalizing on opportunities across emerging sectors like AI, DeFi, gaming, and stablecoins. He emphasized the company's commitment to understanding the evolving Web3 ecosystem.
Despite the diversification, gaming continues to be a cornerstone of Animoca Brands' portfolio, representing 230 of its 628 investments. Founded in 2014, the company initially focused heavily on gaming and has been an early backer of numerous Web3 gaming projects, including Axie Infinity, CryptoKitties, Colossal, and Yield Guild Games.
Animoca Brands is increasing its investment in infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and DeFi. According to Peymani, the company aims to become a market leader in exciting areas like stablecoins and Real World Assets (RWAs). They also aspire to facilitate retail sector access to the transformative changes occurring within the Web3 ecosystem.
Peymani stressed that Animoca Brands will continue to identify and invest in projects with the potential to revolutionize the industry. He highlighted stablecoins as a near-term focus for the company.
Animoca co-founder Yat Siu has stated that institutional participation will be crucial for the next phase of growth in the crypto industry, extending beyond just Bitcoin. He emphasized that institutional adoption will be driven by utility and practical application, not merely token purchases.
While Animoca is expanding into new areas, Peymani affirmed that gaming remains a top priority. He expressed continued optimism about the future of gaming and the potential for players to monetize their time, effort, and money spent within games, owning assets that transcend the Web3 world.
Notably, the third quarter of 2025 witnessed a 290% quarter-over-quarter surge in crypto venture funding, reaching a peak of $4.8 billion, as reported by Galaxy Digital. The report highlighted that established crypto companies, particularly those founded in 2018, secured the majority of the capital, while companies founded in 2024 accounted for the highest number of deals.
Animoca Brands is planning to go public on the Nasdaq next year via a reverse merger with Currenc Group, a fintech company specializing in AI.
