Animoca Brands has announced a strategic investment in AllScale, a company specializing in stablecoin payment infrastructure. While the amount of the investment was not disclosed, both parties have stated that the collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of stablecoins in global payments and strengthen payment workflows in AI-driven digital commerce.
Scope of the partnership
According to both companies, the partnership will focus on expanding stablecoin-based payment solutions across Animoca Brands’ extensive network of over 600 portfolio companies. Based in Hong Kong, Animoca Brands is recognized as a leading technology firm with activities stretching across Web3, blockchain gaming, and digital asset investments.
AllScale operates a payments platform centered around stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. Its suite of tools enables cross-border payments, payroll processing, invoicing, reconciliation, and collection services. This infrastructure is designed to facilitate faster global fund transfers for businesses.
Both companies indicated that AllScale’s technology will be evaluated to support payment flows, treasury management, and reconciliation within the Animoca Brands ecosystem.
AllScale’s infrastructure offers features such as automated transfers and swaps across multiple blockchain networks. According to the company, these capabilities simplify operational processes and help reduce costs for businesses operating internationally.
Glossary: Agentic payments refer to payments initiated by AI software within predetermined rules and limits. A stablecoin is a type of digital asset typically pegged to the value of an asset like the US dollar.
AI-driven payments gain traction
A highlight of the partnership is the adoption of a new payment model known as agentic payments. In this approach, AI systems can allocate funds, make payments, and complete transactions independently, staying within predefined parameters and without direct human action at every step.
Animoca Brands stated that compliant stablecoins could serve as a core settlement layer in the rapidly growing AI economy. As software agents increasingly interact on behalf of users and companies, digital payment infrastructure is set to play a more prominent role.
AllScale emphasized that its infrastructure offers non-custodial options for greater user control over assets, and also supports regulatory compliance through transaction monitoring and risk management tools.
AllScale’s growth figures
Company data shows that the AllScale payment network now supports more than 1.5 million registered wallets. The platform provides a permissionless, non-custodial system for small businesses and freelancers, while also offering a custodial solution for larger enterprises.
By late 2025, AllScale completed a $5 million seed round led by YZi Labs, with participation from Informed Ventures and the Aptos Foundation. Meanwhile, Animoca Brands and its affiliates invested $1 million in Superior.Trade this May under the Minds Investment Programme. This funding is earmarked to support the development of AI-powered trading tools on Animoca’s persistent AI agent platform, Minds.
The latest move highlights how companies are increasingly converging stablecoins, decentralized finance, and artificial intelligence as they build the next generation of digital commerce infrastructure.
