The Global Blockchain Show is pleased to announce Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Chairman of Animoca Brands, as one of its event speakers at the end of the year. On December 12 and 13, 2024, Yat Siu will join over 3,000 Web3 Founders, more than 100 speakers, and over 100 investors for a two-day festival at the Grand Hyatt Exhibition Centre in Dubai.
Yat has always had an appreciation for technology and finance. He began his career at Atari Germany and later founded Hong Kong Cybercity/Freenation. This is Asia’s first free web page and email service. He firmly believes decentralization is the key to the internet’s future.
Yat Siu is the co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, a global leader in blockchain and gaming. The company’s mission is to offer digital property rights to the world’s gamers and Internet users, resulting in the creation of a new asset class, play-and-earn economies, and a more equitable digital framework that contributes to the development of the open metaverse.

In 1998, he founded Outblaze, an award-winning provider of multilingual white-label web services. In 2009, he sold Outblaze’s messaging unit to IBM, transforming the company into an incubator for initiatives and entrepreneurs developing digital entertainment services and products. One of those incubated companies is Animoca Brands, which was created in 2014.
His belief in Web3 has cut through the years, and he embraces market changes as they come. He says NFTs have transitioned into the memecoin craze.
In a recent podcast interview with the Global Blockchain Show, he said, “I would say NFTs back in 2021 – 2022 are memecoins today. Many of the constructions of the ideas we have with NFTs, whether cultural, social or with some economic value, is actually the same narrative we have today with memecoins.”
