This week's guest(s):
A veteran technology entrepreneur and investor based in Hong Kong, Yat Siu is the co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands. Since 2018, Yat has been 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, equity. With a clear vision of the potential of decentralized apps and assets, Yat quickly steered Animoca Brands to a leadership position in blockchain, gaming, NFTs, and the open metaverse. Animoca Brands operates a series of NFT-centric subsidiaries and products, and has invested in over 400 blockchain-related companies to build one of the largest blockchain portfolios in the world.
