How will the partnership expand stablecoin payments?
AllScale operates a payment infrastructure platform built around stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. The company offers tools for cross-border payments, payroll processing, invoicing, settlement, and payment collection, allowing businesses to move funds globally with near-instant settlement.
Through the partnership, Animoca Brands will consider adding AllScale’s technology across its ecosystem to support payment flows, treasury operations, and settlement services.
AllScale’s platform also includes automated cross-chain transfers and swapping features designed to simplify transactions across different blockchain networks while reducing costs for businesses operating internationally.
The company said its infrastructure is designed to give users more control over their assets through self-custody options while maintaining compliance measures such as transaction monitoring and risk management tools.
Why are AI-powered agentic payments becoming a focus?
A major focus of the collaboration is the development of agentic payments, an emerging concept that enables AI agents to autonomously conduct transactions within predefined limits.
Under this model, AI systems can provision funds, execute payments, and settle transactions using stablecoins without requiring direct human intervention for every step.
Animoca Brands believes regulated stablecoins can serve as a key settlement layer for the growing AI economy, where software agents increasingly interact and transact on behalf of users and businesses.
AllScale sees growth as stablecoin adoption accelerates
AllScale said it now supports more than 1.5 million registered wallets through its payment network. The company operates both a permissionless self-custody platform for small businesses and freelancers and a custodial solution tailored to larger enterprises.
In late 2025, AllScale closed a $5M seed funding round led by YZi Labs, with participation from Informed Ventures and the Aptos Foundation, among others. Meanwhile, Animoca Brands and its affiliates invested $1 million in Superior.Trade through the Minds Investment Programme in May. The funding supported the development of AI-driven trading tools built on Minds, Animoca’s persistent AI agent platform.
The deal highlights the increasing convergence of stablecoins, decentralized finance, and artificial intelligence as companies build infrastructure for the next generation of digital commerce.
