ANPA to Leverage on its Global Network

ANPA has partnered with over 190 public companies across the United States and Hong Kong. The company hopes its collaboration with these firms will help more institutions understand and adopt EduFi. The firm will mainly use its EDU tokens for staking, governance, and expanding EduFi initiatives, highlighting blockchain’s potential as a reliable means of funding education.

Overall, ANPA’s move aims to create real-world use cases for the EDU token. For context, EDU serves as the governance token for the Open Campus Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)and the gas token for the EDU Chain. Notably, ANPA offers Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting and compliance services. The company will leverage these services to support Open Campus in building investment systems focused on education, equity, and impactful projects in emerging markets. 

Institutional capital is taking action.
