Animoca Brands Moves Toward Nasdaq Via Reverse Merger With Currenc

Closing is slated for 2026 subject to due diligence, audited financials, shareholder votes, plus U.S. and Australian approvals.

Overview

  • Currenc and Animoca signed a non-binding term sheet and entered a three‑month exclusivity window to negotiate definitive agreements for a reverse merger.
  • Under the proposed structure, Currenc would acquire 100% of Animoca’s shares via an Australian scheme of arrangement, with Animoca holders owning about 95% of the combined company.
  • Currenc plans to spin off its AI solutions and digital remittance businesses to existing Currenc shareholders before the merger closes.
  • The combined company is expected to operate under the Animoca Brands name, with a dual‑class share structure and board nominees from both firms, subject to approvals.
  • Currenc’s stock rallied sharply following the announcement, with multiple reports citing gains approaching or exceeding a doubling over recent days.
