Yat Siu, Animoca's executive chairman and co-founder, emphasized Bitcoin's readiness for Web3, stating that the advent of Ordinals has transformed Bitcoin into more than just a store of value but a store of culture for the Web3 age. Siu highlighted the significance of building Animoca's presence on the Bitcoin chain through the Opal Protocol to advance their vision of an open metaverse.
