@animocabrands @StanChart @hkmagovhk Congratulations @animocabrands ! A major milestone for the Hong Kong digital asset space

We’re excited to share that Anchorpoint, a joint venture established by @StanChart (Hong Kong), HKT, and us at @animocabrands, today was one of two being granted a stablecoin issuer licence by the @hkmagovhk, under the Stablecoins Ordinance that came into effect 1 August 2025. Anchorpoint targets to issue the regulated Hong Kong Dollar-backed stablecoins – HKDAP (i.e. HKD At Par) with a phased approach from the second quarter of this year. Our group president @EvanAuyang, commented on Anchorpoint receiving the license: "Receiving this license is a landmark moment not only for our joint venture Anchorpoint but also for Hong Kong's ambition to lead the world in regulated digital finance. From the outset, our conviction was clear: a properly governed HKD-backed stablecoin is essential to Hong Kong’s financial infrastructure. Animoca Brands is honored to have collaborated on the strategic efforts that transitioned this concept from a foundational goal into a functional reality." animocabrands.com/announcement/s…

Congrats Anchorpoint - our @animocabrands @StanChart JV for being awarded Hong Kong’s first stablecoin licenses! coindesk.com/policy/2026/03… #stablecoin

Absolute game changer. 🔥 What @Claude just dropped fundamentally changes how I think about autonomous agent architecture and natural language reasoning. @openclaw was an ambitious experiment — a full-stack AI agent system wired into production workflows. But with this update, Claude essentially becomes the agent. Real-time reasoning, persistent context, and tool orchestration handled natively. Goodbye, OpenClaw. Time to rebuild on something that understands execution as well as thought.

[EP #41] Tokenize or Your Business Dies w/ @abcdave (@animocabrands) hosted by @RealMissAI Animoca backed 600+ companies. David Ching: Tokenize assets or miss it like the internet in the '90s. Onchain identity, agent reputation & the founder question

🚨Google JUST gives Bitcoin a 3-year expiration date Quantum computers will crack it in just 9 minutes. i) Google's quantum team cracked a 20x more efficient version of Shor's algorithm ii) breaking Bitcoin now takes ~500K qubits. (instead of billions) iii) Attack time? 9 minutes. Bitcoin block confirmation? 10 minutes. iv) Success rate is sitting above 41% v) Their new deadline: 2029 Google thinks this is so serious that they REFUSED to publish the actual quantum circuits. Instead, they dropped a zero-knowledge proof saying "trust us, we know how to do this." For years, crypto bros said "quantum is decades away, relax" Now Google is saying: you have 3 years. Maybe less. Every blockchain running ECDSA is now on a countdown clock. Bitcoin. Ethereum. Solana. All of it. Post-quantum cryptography isnt a "nice to have" anymore. It's evolve or die.

The internet is shifting from human users to autonomous AI agents as its primary actors. The key move: from UX to "Agent Experience," where specialized agent squads handle discovery, execution, and transactions on your behalf, with blockchain as the economic layer for agent-native commerce. Humans move up the stack to define goals, values, and ownership while agents do the rest. Users are no longer merely sources of data or attention. Instead, users become the principals of multiple intelligent economic extensions of themselves #animocaminds

💳 Mastercard acquired BVNK for $1.8B. It's not buying tech. It's buying TIME ⏰ Seven weeks before the deal, Mastercard CPO Jorn Lambert told analysts stablecoins were "not currently a universal payments tool." Seven weeks later: largest crypto acquisition ever. The judgment didn't change. The window did. Stripe bought Bridge for $1.1B. Visa locked in Rain and Reap. Coinbase nearly closed BVNK at ~$2B before talks collapsed in November. The universe of independent, acquirable stablecoin infrastructure at scale is shrinking fast. Mastercard had to move before the window closed. ⏩ First movers can partner — their lead is already priced in. Second movers have to acquire, because partnership speed cannot close the gap. Some numbers: Stablecoin volume last 12 months: $46T gross, ~$9T real-payments basis — flowing through 0 cards. Mastercard's 2025 volume: $10.6T. In stablecoin payments cards specifically, Visa already commands >90% volume. Mastercard didn't just miss the first wave. It lost the consumer interface entirely. The $1.8B is the cost of buying back into the game. 🏇 Stablecoin market cap ~$320B in Mar 2026. Total 2025 volume >$33T, surpassing Visa's $16.7T. Payments-specific volume >$390B, 60% B2B, Asia-led 🌐, +72% YoY. Mastercard: $32.8B net revenue (+16%), $21.3T global volume, 3.7B cards, 19% market share. What BVNK brings: $30B+ annualised stablecoin payments, 130+ countries, enterprise clients including Worldpay and Deel. Targets $6.4T in total payments value across 154M wallets — 1–2 min settlement at ~8x lower cost than legacy corridors. The $300M in contingent payments signals Mastercard is buying future scale, not present revenue. BVNK is not standalone. It completes a stack: Multi-Token Network for settlement, Crypto Credential for identity, Paxos for issuance/compliance, merchant acceptance — and now BVNK's fiat-to-onchain bridge closing the loop. No other incumbent has this end-to-end. What this means: 1. Stablecoins become embedded infrastructure inside the world's second-largest payments network. 2. Payments go hybrid. Cards own the consumer interface. Stablecoins improve settlement — faster, cheaper, programmable. B2B and treasury flows are the immediate case. Next is 🤖 agentic commerce: AI agents need always-on, programmable rails. Stablecoins are built for that. 3. Cards aren't being disrupted — they're being extended. Virtual cards hit $674B by 2026. The touchpoint stays. What changes is what runs underneath. Mastercard is buying the right to own that layer, not rent it. #Mastercard #BVNK #Stablecoins #Payments #Web3 #Fintech #Crypto #RWA #DigitalAssets #Visa #creditcard
