Driving institutional adoption of EduFi
ANPA’s investment will primarily target staking, governance, and the company’s entry into the education finance sector. By leveraging its corporate network of over 190 publicly listed companies across Hong Kong and the U.S., ANPA plans to integrate traditional finance with blockchain-based infrastructure. The partnership will also focus on ESG-compliant, sustainable financing in emerging markets, channeling capital toward education, inclusion, and impact-driven initiatives.
Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca Brands, highlighted the broader goal of democratizing access to education finance through blockchain technology. “By advancing EduFi in partnership with ANPA and Open Campus, we are empowering learners and reshaping the future of education to be more transparent and inclusive,” Siu said.
Blockchain-powered financial layer for education
Open Campus has developed EDU Chain, a Layer 3 blockchain on Arbitrum Orbit, to provide on-chain education finance solutions. The EDU token serves as both the DAO’s governance token and the native gas token for EDU Chain. Mohamed Ezeldin, president of Open Campus, emphasized that the partnership marks a milestone in aligning incentives between learners, educators, and institutions while expanding access to blockchain-based financial tools in education.
Matthew Chan, CEO of ANPA, described the initiative as a transformative step:
“Our strategic investment in EDU tokens reflects our conviction in blockchain’s potential to create a transparent, accessible education finance ecosystem.”
Meanwhile, Animoca Brands, in partnership with Chess.com, integrated the $CHECK token on November 13, establishing it as the native utility token for the game’s growing ecosystem.

In four months, Korean retail investors' "ammunition stockpile" has dropped by 36.5%, returning to levels seen at the beginning of the year. Although retail investors have collectively made net purchases exceeding 75 trillion won, they are still absorbing the sell-off, but the influx of new funds has dried up, and the replenishment rate lags far behind the consumption rate. Combined with the KOSPI plunging nearly 20% this month, continued net selling by foreign investors, and concerns over AI-related credit risks, the Korean stock market may find it difficult to see a sustained rebound in the short term without support from private investors' funds.

A power gap of 40-50 gigawatts, rising capital costs, and a macro paradigm shift from an era of "overspending" are turning AI trades from a matter of faith into a harsh test of monetization.
