“Imagine if Apple or Facebook actually had a stake in a large swath of thousands of companies that were building stuff on Facebook or building stuff on the App Store. What would their behavior look like? It's very different I think. It's not only because they might have a say in stuff it's also that their financial incentives aren't entirely driven only by how much I make as an app store. I'm also thinking well if I take too much from those companies the value of the equity or the value of the companies will reduce. That's a certified created balance.”
On , Yat Siu, Executive Chairman & Co-Founder at Animoca Brands, spoke about monopoly during 👊 The Super Web3: 🔗 The Revolution That Will Break the Chains of Monopoly - Yat Siu on London Real.
About Yat Siu
Yat Siu, executive chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands, has been active in media appearances through mid-2026, discussing the convergence of AI agents, blockchain, and digital ownership. He stated that his company's joint venture, Anchor Point, received one of two Hong Kong dollar stablecoin licenses in the city, with the other license going to HSBC. Siu described the broader digital asset industry as moving toward an "agentic web" or "Web4," where autonomous AI agents conduct microtransactions and discovery on behalf of users. He noted that he personally deploys over 230 AI agents for tasks including coding and market arbitrage, and he encouraged others to adopt similar technology. Siu characterized blockchain's role as shifting from gaming toward real-world asset tokenization and stablecoins, arguing that tokenization expands network effects by assigning enumerated value to previously non-financial assets. He commented that altcoins collectively are likely to outperform Bitcoin, and that Ethereum's challenge is an "image problem" rather than fundamental flaws. Siu also described college as less important than early industry entry for many people, and framed digital ownership and identity as central to future economic sovereignty. He cited declining relevance of memecoins under clearer regulation and predicted that traditional financial rails will be fully replaced by blockchain infrastructure.
