When it comes to NFTs and blockchain gaming, very few companies can rival with Animoca Brands’ early conviction, investment thesis and time horizon. They understood early on that community building and network effects are the core pillars for a true paradigm shift in gaming. However, culture and narratives transcend the boundaries of gaming, becoming social phenomena. Animoca’s latest undertaking, the Mocaverse, aims to unite communities in a truly open metaverse.

We were joined by Yat Siu, chairman of Animoca Brands, to discuss the importance of digital culture in our modern-day lives and how NFT ownership unlocks community building in the open metaverse.

Topics discussed in this episode:
- Yat’s background and Animoca Brands’ interest in NFTs
- Digital culture & narratives
- Animoca Brands’ investment thesis
- Blockchain & NFT adoption by Web2 brands
- Financial inclusion & financial literacy
- Ownership & play-to-earn gaming: East vs. West
- NFT use cases & IP rights
- Interoperability
- Decentralisation & the value of ownership
- Mocaverse
- Long-term vision & the open metaverse
