HONG KONG, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Open Campus, the community-led DAO building the blockchain-powered financial layer for education, and Animoca Brands have formed a strategic partnership with Rich Sparkle Holdings Limited ("ANPA") (NASDAQ:ANPA). In connection with this landmark agreement, U.S.-listed ANPA will make its first major venture into crypto by purchasing up to US$50 million in EDU tokens over the next 24 months through open-market and over-the-counter (OTC) transactions. As part of this partnership, Animoca Brands will make a contribution of US$3 million of EDU tokens.

ANPA will enter the education finance (EduFi) market and collaborate with Open Campus and Animoca Brands to build tokenization infrastructure that bridges traditional finance and Web3. By leveraging its corporate client network of over 190 publicly listed companies across Hong Kong and the United States, ANPA aims to accelerate institutional adoption of EduFi and expand real-world utility for the EDU token, which is the governance token for the Open Campus DAO and the native gas token for EDU Chain. As a provider of ESG reporting and compliance services, ANPA will also work with Open Campus to establish an ecosystem of sustainable financing in emerging markets, channeling capital toward education, inclusion, and impact-driven initiatives.

ANPA's purchase of EDU tokens, which will be used primarily for staking, governance, and ANPA's EduFi market entry strategy, underscores growing institutional conviction in the importance of blockchain-driven solutions for education.

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said: "Education is the foundation of opportunity, and blockchain offers a powerful tool to enhance access and financial literacy worldwide. 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. In the U.S. alone, the student loan market is worth $1.8 trillion and urgently needs targeted innovation and disruption—which we believe EduFi can provide."

Matthew Chan, CEO of ANPA, said: "We see immense potential in blockchain to transform education finance into an accessible, transparent ecosystem. The partnership with Animoca Brands and Open Campus and our strategic investment in EDU tokens reflect our conviction in this vision and our commitment to supporting a next-generation Web3-powered EduFi platform."

Mohamed Ezeldin, president of Open Campus, said "For too long, education has stood in the shadows of innovation. Open Campus was built to bring learning into the same orbit of progress that has already reshaped other industries. Partnering with ANPA is a defining moment in the mission of Open Campus: not only will new capital flow into EDU token, but we are also emphasizing the conviction that education finance deserves the same ownership, transparency, and opportunity that blockchain has already brought to other sectors. We're building the financial layer for education to finally align incentives between learners, educators, and the institutions that serve them."
