Yat Siu just made one of the biggest moves in Web3.
.@animocabrands plans to go public on Nasdaq through a reverse merger with Currenc Group (CURR).
After the merger, Animoca shareholders would own around 95% of the new company.
This is the same @ysiu who was backing crypto gaming, NFTs, and digital ownership when ETH was $200 and the market was $200B.
Now Animoca holds 600+ investments, including Polygon, TON, Aethir, LayerZero, Ledger, and The Sandbox.
This is the Web3 founder who stayed through bull and bear.
Now he’s taking Animoca to Wall Street.
"Data financialization" flips the script, turning identity into an asset that can generate income.
@Forbes highlights that the next step in identity’s evolution is monetization, and Moca’s roadmap explicitly includes this vision.
Unlike intermediaries that capture value when identity is verified, Moca enables users to receive economic rewards upon credential verification. This data financialization approach transforms identity into an asset that generates income, creating new marketplaces around identity, and turning routine verification checks into economic opportunities that reward individuals for the value of their digital presence.

Great to see one of the largest listed companies purchasing $MOCA on the open market to be part of the identity network
Hold $MOCA to own part of the identity network > Hold $MOCA to issue and verify data > network grows > everyone wins
We should see this more with the new tokenomics
Our flagship project @Moca_Network is announcing the upcoming launch of MocaPortfolio, a new approach offering the Moca Network community exposure to Animoca Brands’ ecosystem.
Participants of MocaPortfolio will be eligible to receive token allocations at a combined valuation of US$20 million from projects in our investment and partnership portfolio, subject to vesting terms.

One step closer towards the future of interoperable identity 👁️
$MOCA back to #2 volume on Upbit
As spoken in Moca townhall yesterday, listing is about opening up access to key communities and enhancing liquidity - it's never about an one-off pump - and will continuously evaluate the other key regions
Personally will be in Korea every month and will be hosting meet-ups / media interviews / driving partnerships - sharing the mission of creating a sovereign digital identity infrastructure empowering a true open internet
Also lots didn't know that there are a lot of great engineers in Korea, just that sometimes because of language barrier - it's not widely known - hopefully can kick off some research work there as well
https://t.co/n0LTcu071W also localized in Korean, and more for key regions - keep Mocalizing, keep localizing
Starting the new year in South Korea with the week of national mourning after the plane tragedy is deeply disheartening. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and our beloved Korean community.
Collaborating with @MOCAFoundation, 1M $MOCA will be donated to @KoreanRedCross to support families of victims & survivors and other emergency relief activities.
Transparency matters. Here’s the public donation wallet for governance: 0x7E36078A0746475C25C30B8EAeD6667032bba28A
We would like to invite projects and community to contribute for this cause. All funds and transactions will be made public.
Special shoutout to our Korea ambassador @eth_apple, for coordinating local logistics and making this initiative possible.
Let’s come together in compassion. Anyone or community wishing to co-contribute can donate and share their love for Korea.
2024 was a year of conviction - where #MocaFam weathered the storm from bear to bull with heads held high. This one is for every believer who made it possible.

Incident Report:
This morning [Dec 26, 2024, 09:00 HKT], Yat’s official X account @ysiu was reported to have been compromised by unauthorized access despite with 2FA set up, where the bad actor used the account to post false information and links regarding a fake SOLANA token.
We have confirmation that X has secured control of the @ysiu account and is now in the process of verifying true account ownership. The evidence seems to suggest that this was a case of stolen identity as the account had standard security implementations (such as 2FA). Stronger security approaches are being considered and implemented. We deeply appreciate all the community support!
There is no compromise on Animoca Brands, Moca Network or MOCA Foundation official handles, and there are strict security measures in place.
Post-Incident Actions:
As safety measures, all key members and official accounts have updated all authentications. No additional vulnerabilities or unauthorized activities were identified.
Security Update:
The breach highlights the growing attention and interest in $MOCA, making it a target for malicious actors. We urge all community members to remain vigilant and adhere to the following precautions:
- Always verify the authenticity of information by cross-checking with our official channels
- Avoid clicking on unsolicited or suspicious links
- Report any questionable activities or communications to our support team immediately
The security of our community and stakeholders remains our highest priority. Please always stay vigilant and check with official channels and members before taking action on any information or links.
Stay SAFU, MocaFam!
