An Interview With Animoca Brands

BitcoinWorld An Interview With Animoca Brands Yat Siu, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Animoca Brands, on digital property rights, regulated stablecoins, on-chain student loans, and why the agentic web will change how ordinary people use crypto.

By Bitcoin World  |  14 September 2026  |  Exclusive Interview   Yat Siu, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder, Animoca Brands Few companies have shaped the Web3 landscape as broadly as Animoca Brands.

From The Sandbox and Open Campus to a licensed stablecoin joint venture in Hong Kong and, most recently, an AI agent platform called Minds, the group has placed a consistent bet: that people should own their digital assets, identities and data rather than rent them from platforms.

In this exclusive conversation with Bitcoin World, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder Yat Siu explains what Animoca Brands actually does, how his team evaluates new investments, what an on-chain student loan cycle achieved for more than 6,000 learners in Southeast Asia, and why he believes the internet is moving from a participatory model to an agentic one.
