Now let’s check out the top stories across the Crypto and AI markets over the past week.
Animoca is Heading to Wall Street Animoca Brands is going public once again, this time coming to the Nasdaq through a reverse merger with the Nasdaq-listed Currenc Group. - Current Animoca shareholders will own 95% of the $1B combined entity, with Currenc shareholders owning 5%.
- The deal closes by the end of 2026 after three-month exclusivity, needing US/Australian regulatory approval, shareholder votes, and audited financials.
- Animoca's public return follows the 2020 ASX delisting over governance and crypto issues.
- Last year Animoca posted $314M in revenue (up 12% YoY), driven by $165M from digital advisory and 600+ Web3 stakes like Consensys, and Kraken.
- Current Animoca holdings include $4.3B in assets, $300M cash/stablecoins, and more than $500M in digital holdings.
- The Nasdaq listing is a major moment for Web3 as investors can get exposure to Animoca portfolio companies like CryptoSlam.
Token Presales on Coinbase 
No more debates on “WEN TOKEN LISTING?” on Coinbase, as the major CEX launches their own token presale launchpad. - Coinbase announced their new token launchpad, aiming to bring fair launches to the wider retail market.
- The first token launched on the Coinbase launchpad will be Monad next week.
- The Monad token will launch at a $2.5B valuation, and buyers can bid up to $100K USD ($100
min).

Massive Crypto Progress 
Some of this cycle's biggest catalysts are still ahead of us, including the market structure bill, and big crypto tax updates. Just yesterday, the dominos started to fall. - Yesterday the Senate released the first draft of the crypto market structure
bill.
- Once passed, the bill will see Bitcoin, ETH and other major cryptos regulated by the CFTC instead of the SEC.
- The bill also protects blockchain devs from being treated as money transmitters or brokers.
- The IRS and US Treasury issued new guidance giving crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) a path to offering staking
rewards.
- Expectation that the market structure bill will be passed has led to companies like Uniswap beginning to find ways to drive value back to their token holders. In this case, with huge token buybacks.
