#480: Hantao Yuan, Co-Founder of Moku, on The Current State of Web3 Gaming, Predictions Markets, and Speculation Is The Future of Entertainment

Hantao Yuan is Co-Founder of Moku, and serves as Moku's marketing growth chief and community strategist. He has been acquiring creators and users for over a decade for game publishers and gaming brands. He has also sold his own esports team through M&A to Overtime sports, and advised 2 other teams through M&A.

Moku is backed by a world-class team of AI experts from MIT, IBM, and Johns Hopkins. The company has already built Web3’s largest distribution engine, driving over 8 million daily active users across partner launches and more than $7 billion in cumulative fully diluted value (FDV). With this foundation, Moku is uniquely positioned to expand Grand Arena beyond Web3 and into mainstream fantasy sports and interactive wagering markets. Grand Arena is converging the $27B fantasy sports market, the $40B prediction market, and the $50B+ AI gaming sector.
