Animoca is a venture investor, and almost none of its value lives in a wallet. What is on-chain is a small operating balance on Ethereum; the portfolio itself is equity and locked tokens that no balance query can see.

The desk's read

This is the clearest example on the board of why a wallet total is not a net worth. Animoca's book is hundreds of gaming and infrastructure positions, most of them vesting or illiquid, and none of them addressable by reading a chain.

The row is here for completeness and for flow: when a venture wallet does move, it is usually a distribution or a treasury operation, and that is worth noticing precisely because it happens rarely.

Not investment advice. Entity labels are on-chain attribution and can be imperfect; a labelled balance may mix personal, treasury and custody wallets. Large balances do not imply intent, some never move.
