Animoca Brands Secures Regulatory Approval for Abu Dhabi Fund Management
Animoca Brands, a company that began in mobile games, has secured approval to manage investment funds for non-retail clients in Abu Dhabi. The subsidiary Animoca Asset Management (AD) Limited received authorization from Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) to oversee funds that pool money from professional investors. The approval took effect on October 13, completing a process that began with in-principle approval in November 2025. Animoca also received a Dubai license in February for virtual asset brokerage and investment management services to institutional and qualified investors. The company has shifted its focus from blockchain gaming and venture investing to regulated financial services, with a focus on stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, and treasury management.
