Yat Siu
The Metaverse
How the Open Metaverse, based on crypto & NFTs, has the potential to infuse property rights into the digital economy, changing the future of how we live, work & play.
Yat Siu
Co-Founder and Chairman of Animoca Brands
Yat is the co-founder and chairman of Animoca Brands, a global leader in digital property rights, NFTs and crypto gaming, which recently raised funding from Temasek & other leading investors at a $6bn valuation. He was an early advocate for the use of blockchain and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the gaming industry, which will allow gamers to enjoy true ownership of their own game assets, data, and, consequently, time. Animoca owns The Sandbox (perhaps the leading open crypto-based metaverse globally) and has been among the earliest investors in industry leaders such as Dapper Labs (NBA Topshot), OpenSea, SkyMavis (AXie Infinity), YieldGuildGames, and another ~380 investments in this exciting space.
