Rich Sparkle Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: ANPA) announced a partnership with Open Campus and Animoca Brands to acquire up to US$50 million of EDU tokens over the next 24 months. The deal marks ANPA’s first major foray into the education‑finance (EduFi) sector, leveraging its network of more than 190 listed companies in Hong Kong and the United States to promote institutional adoption of the token.
Animoca Brands will contribute US$3 million of EDU tokens, while ANPA will purchase the remaining tokens through open‑market and over‑the‑counter transactions. The tokens will be used primarily for staking, governance, and to build tokenization infrastructure that bridges traditional finance with Web3, positioning ANPA to expand its service portfolio beyond financial printing and ESG reporting into blockchain‑enabled financial services for education.
The partnership reflects ANPA’s strategy to diversify revenue streams and tap into a rapidly growing market. The U.S. student‑loan market alone is valued at roughly $1.8 trillion, and the global education industry is projected to reach $8 trillion by 2030. By leveraging its established corporate client base, ANPA aims to accelerate institutional adoption of the EDU token, creating new recurring revenue opportunities and strengthening its competitive moat in the Hong Kong financial services ecosystem. Regulatory uncertainty around cryptocurrencies remains a headwind, but the company’s focus on compliance and its partnership with a well‑established DAO mitigate some of that risk.
Matthew Chan, CEO of ANPA, said the move demonstrates the company’s conviction that blockchain can transform education finance into a more transparent and accessible ecosystem. “We see immense potential in blockchain to transform education finance,” he said. Yat Siu, co‑founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, added that the partnership will empower learners worldwide and address the $1.8 trillion student‑loan market. Mohamed Ezeldin, president of Open Campus, highlighted the platform’s mission to bring learning into the same orbit of progress that has reshaped other industries.
The investment positions ANPA at the intersection of tokenization and education, aligning with broader trends in asset tokenization and the growing interest in Layer 3 blockchains for specialized use cases. By building tokenization infrastructure that supports staking and governance, ANPA is poised to capture a share of the emerging EduFi market, potentially generating new revenue streams and reinforcing its role as a bridge between traditional finance and Web3. The partnership also signals to investors that ANPA is actively pursuing high‑growth, high‑impact opportunities beyond its core printing and ESG services.
The move underscores the company’s willingness to invest in forward‑looking technology while leveraging its existing client relationships. If the partnership successfully drives institutional adoption of the EDU token, ANPA could establish itself as a key player in the EduFi space, benefiting from the projected growth of the global education industry and the increasing demand for transparent, blockchain‑based financing solutions for education.
