Overview
- Animoca Brands confirmed a strategic, undisclosed investment in AllScale and said the firms will partner to scale AllScale’s non‑custodial stablecoin payment infrastructure across Animoca’s ecosystem.
- AllScale builds self‑custody payment tools for checkout, payroll, invoicing, cross‑chain bridging and fiat settlement that it says support over 1.5 million registered wallets.
- Both companies plan to develop agentic commerce that lets preauthorized AI agents execute transactions using regulated stablecoins as settlement rails.
- The move follows Animoca’s broader push into regulated stablecoin rails, including its backing of Anchorpoint which secured a Hong Kong stablecoin issuer licence earlier this year.
- Key constraints include the engineering challenge of matching custodial user experience with self‑custody wallets and unresolved regulatory uncertainty in major markets such as the United States and the EU.
