Stripped of its ASX listing in March 2020 over governance issues, digital property rights company Animoca Brands has just ruled off a US$65 million ($87 million) raising at a pre-money valuation of US$2.2 billion ($2.9 billion).

That valuation is more than double the $US1 billion ($1.3 billion) that Animoca fetched during a raise just four months ago, and is also a far cry from its $120 million market cap in March 2020 when the ASX kicked it out of its the local bourse.
