Hong Kong-based Animoca Brands has announced its intent to invest a significant sum in Saudi Arabia’s budding Web3 gaming ecosystem.
Animoca Brands’ desire to be part of the growing Web3 ecosystem has seen it ink deals with key entities in the Gulf state, including a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST). Animoca Brands CEO Yat Siu confirmed in a statement that Saudi Arabia is the next uncharted frontier for the Web3 unicorn, citing several reasons. According to Siu, Saudi’s young and tech-savvy population stands on the precipice of a major transition to Web3 gaming, providing a window of opportunity to clinch valuable market share. “Most of our investments are all over the world. But our priority in terms of building out infrastructure and building out business operations is definitely Saudi,” said Siu. “Also, Saudi is a market in itself with a very strong gaming population.” It remains unclear exactly how much Animoca Brands will be willing to sink into the local play-to-earn gaming scene, but experts are predicting a hefty price tag. Despite a rising gaming culture, Web3 games are almost non-existent in Saudi Arabia, leaving Animoca Brands with a steep mountain to climb.

The collaboration between the Japanese-based blockchain and Panasonic Advanced Technology was initiated in February, but the official announcement was made on March 26.
The newly developed platform, based on Jasmy's innovative Personal Data Locker product, aims to provide a secure data storage solution while granting users full control over access to their data. Additionally, it aims to enhance data processing and reaction times. The platform will adopt agile development methods coupled with Web3 technology, with a strong emphasis on speed. The intention is to create an open platform that can be widely utilized in various fields. Through this approach, the project envisions recruiting a large user base and fostering broad adoption.

This development came barely a month after the U.S. SEC gave the green light to 11 Bitcoin Spot ETFs; however, unlike Japan which recognized cryptocurrencies as a type of money as early as 2016, alongside leading the race in stablecoin regulatory frameworks, the U.S. is still reluctant to fully embrace the realm of Web3 innovations. With Japan seemingly going all in, both on the regulatory front and user protection, the latest move to add crypto as a potential asset class is a game-changer for the country’s investment landscape and the Web3 startup ecosystem. In fact, this milestone might play a significant role in shaping the decision-making process of Web3 startups looking to change jurisdictions or launch in crypto-friendly countries. After all, the Land of the Rising Sun has long been a leading technology hub, and its open arms approach to Web3 should come as no surprise.
