Animoca Brands said its subsidiary, Animoca Asset Management (AD) Limited, had received approval to manage investment funds for non-retail clients in Abu Dhabi. The authorization took effect on Oct. 13 and allows the subsidiary to oversee funds that pool money from professional investors, not the general public.
Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority granted the approval after giving in-principle approval in November 2025. Animoca said the move is part of its shift toward regulated financial services across multiple jurisdictions.
