Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu is taking a more direct role in running the company, becoming CEO from 1th December 2026 while retaining his position as executive chairman.
Group president Evan Auyang, who joined in 2021, will now become a senior advisor to the board. The change puts Siu in charge of daily operations as Animoca increasingly organises its business around AI agents and institutional finance.

- personal agent platform Minds,
- institutional digital money and investment products,
