Animoca Brands has appointed co-founder Yat Siu as chief executive officer. Siu keeps his role as executive chairman. The digital assets and tokenization company holds a portfolio of more than 600 companies and is expanding into AI agents.


Leadership change

The move takes effect on December 1, 2026. Evan Auyang, group president since 2021, will become a senior advisor to the board. He will advise on long-term strategy and continue supporting institutional work.

Executive team

Siu will oversee day-to-day corporate operations and project development. The senior executive team includes Robby Yung, Shaun Kraft, Minh Do, Brian Chan, and Jamii Quoc. Yung serves as CEO of investments and CEO of The Sandbox.

Agent infrastructure

Minds is the company's consumer-facing AI agent platform. Moca Network and AIR provide identity, credentials, and permissions for agents to transact securely. The beta launched about six months ago and ranked in the top three in the personal agents category on OpenRouter as of early November.


Animoca completed audited financial statements for 2022 and 2023. The company is working to clear its historical reporting backlog in 2027. That step supports a possible future relisting on a major public exchange.
