Founder of Animoca Brands Believes NFTs Can Revolutionize Digital Capitalism and Address Financial Inequality

Yat Siu, the founder of Animoca Brands, believes that NFTs have immense potential to transform industries such as rights management and education, and can play a major role in addressing global financial inequality and promoting financial literacy. Siu argues that the current lower valuations of NFTs indicate a healthier, more genuine interest in the technology’s utility. He also emphasizes the need for legal frameworks, specifically in the U.S., to evolve and fully support this vision. Siu's optimistic vision of NFTs as a tool for digital ownership and financial opportunities could be crucial in disrupting the multi-billion dollar industry of rights management and content delivery. However, the industry still faces regulatory challenges from bodies such as the SEC.
