Animoca Brands has made a strategic investment in AllScale, a startup positioning itself as the first self-custody stablecoin neobank. The deal is focused on building out stablecoin payment infrastructure and exploring what both companies describe as autonomous agentic payments, essentially letting AI agents handle financial transactions without a human clicking “confirm.”
The investment size hasn’t been disclosed.
What AllScale actually does
AllScale builds non-custodial tools wrapped around stablecoin payment rails. Think invoicing, payroll, and checkout systems for USDC and USDT, but designed so users never surrender custody of their funds. The target audience is a grab bag of crypto-native participants: microbusinesses, freelancers, DAOs, and various Web3 projects that need to pay people and get paid without relying on traditional banking infrastructure.
The company has integrated its payment systems with BNB Chain, giving it access to one of the more active Layer 1 ecosystems for everyday transactions.
