Where Is Web3 Headed Next? Yat Siu on Crypto Markets, RWAs & Institutional Adoption

In this episode, we sit down with Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, one of the most influential companies in Web3, blockchain gaming, and the metaverse. As a veteran entrepreneur and early believer in digital ownership, Yat shares his perspective on the current market cycle, capital rotation, and whether today’s distribution phase is a healthy reset or a long-term concern for Web3. We dive deep into the rise of institutional adoption and what it truly means for retail investors, the evolving role of regulation, and how founders can design products that survive across shifting global regulatory landscapes. Yat also unpacks misconceptions around stablecoins, explains how to evaluate their backing, and discusses whether public blockchains will remain the primary settlement layer for institutions. From tokenization and RWAs to gaming, stablecoins, and the metaverse, Yat gives his candid view on which sectors were early, which are undervalued today, and where the next wave of opportunity lies. He closes with powerful advice for founders navigating volatile market cycles and building in an increasingly tokenized world where financial literacy may be the ultimate competitive advantage. If you want to understand where Web3 is truly headed — beyond the noise — this episode delivers strategic insight straight from one of the industry’s most influential voices.
