Animoca Brands has made a strategic investment in AllScale, a provider of stablecoin payment infrastructure, with plans to jointly explore payment and AI commerce initiatives across its ecosystem. Neither company disclosed the size of the funding.
AllScale's platform connects traditional finance with on-chain transactions through a single payment stack, supporting checkout, payroll, invoicing, and cross-border pay-in/pay-out services. It automatically bridges and swaps assets across blockchains, enabling merchants to accept stablecoin payments regardless of the network or token used by customers. The platform also offers transaction screening, on-chain privacy features, and low-cost self-custodial settlement.
The partnership will examine payment infrastructure opportunities spanning global payments, treasury services, and settlement for Animoca Brands' portfolio of over 600 companies. Additionally, the firms plan to develop agentic payments—allowing AI agents to execute transactions within predefined limits using regulated stablecoins as the settlement layer. Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca Brands, stated that regulated stablecoins are the ideal bridge between traditional and on-chain financial systems and are well-positioned to serve as core payment rails for emerging agentic commerce.
AllScale currently serves more than 1.5 million registered wallets and targets cross-border businesses with its non-custodial and custodial service layers. The deal follows AllScale's $5 million seed round in late 2025 from YZi Labs, Informed Ventures, and the Aptos Foundation. Animoca Brands continues to expand its regulated stablecoin footprint; its joint venture Anchorpoint Financial recently obtained a license from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to issue the HKDAP stablecoin.
