Secondary shares of the company are trading at about $1.5 billion, according to Yat Siu, executive chairman and co-founder of Animoca.
That’s almost 75% below Animoca’s valuation in July 2022, when the firm announced that it had raised $75 million at a $5.9 billion valuation.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has raised concerns that the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation poses a systemic risk not only to stablecoins but also to the broader banking system.
The MiCA regulation, which took effect on June 30, imposes stringent limitations on stablecoin operations across the European Economic Area. Notably, it mandates that at least 60% of reserves backing stablecoins must be held in EU bank accounts.
He further pointed out that EU cash deposits are insured for only up to $100,000 — an amount he argues is inadequate for large stablecoin issuers like Tether.
