Animoca Brands has invested in AllScale to expand stablecoin payment infrastructure and support automated transactions across its global ecosystem. The companies will explore settlement, treasury, and cross-border payment services for Animoca Brands’ portfolio companies. They will also develop payment systems that allow software agents to complete approved transactions independently.
AllScale Expands Stablecoin Payment Infrastructure
AllScale provides a stablecoin payment stack that connects traditional financial services with blockchain-based settlement systems. Its platform supports checkout services, payroll, invoicing, and payment transfers for businesses operating across borders. Companies can receive stablecoins and settle funds in their preferred currency through the same infrastructure.
The platform automatically bridges and exchanges stablecoins across different blockchain networks during payment processing. Merchants can accept payments without requiring customers to use a specific network or token. The service also provides transaction screening, privacy controls, and direct settlement into self-controlled wallets.
AllScale divides its payment platform into non-custodial and custodial service layers for different customer groups. Small businesses and software agents can use the permissionless layer without transferring control over their funds. Meanwhile, larger institutions can access a custodial service with structured onboarding and enterprise compliance controls.
Animoca Brands Targets Payments Across Its Portfolio
Animoca Brands plans to examine payment opportunities across its portfolio of more than 600 companies. The review will cover international payments, treasury management, settlement services, and other stablecoin-based financial operations. This network could provide AllScale with broader access to companies operating across Web3 and digital services.
The investment amount remains undisclosed, although both companies confirmed the strategic agreement through official announcements. Animoca Brands brings experience across digital assets, decentralized platforms, financial infrastructure, and software-based commerce. Its portfolio also includes gaming, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital ownership companies across several markets.
AllScale currently serves cross-border businesses and technology platforms through its consumer and commercial products. The company reports more than 1.5 million registered wallets across those services. It also works with payment access providers that support conversion between stablecoins and traditional currencies.
Companies Explore Automated Stablecoin Transactions
Both companies will explore agentic payments as another part of their planned collaboration. These systems allow software agents to conduct financial transactions within limits established by businesses or users. Regulated stablecoins could provide a programmable settlement method for such automated commercial activity.
AllScale has already developed payment functions designed for automated transactions and software-driven financial operations. These tools could support recurring payments, service purchases, treasury movements, and other transactions without repeated manual approval. However, users or businesses would still define spending limits and transaction conditions before activating the system.
The deal follows AllScale’s previous $5 million seed round, which closed during late 2025. YZi Labs led that financing, while Informed Ventures and the Aptos Foundation also participated. The new investment adds Animoca Brands’ distribution network as AllScale expands stablecoin payments and automated commerce services.
