Animoca Brands will operate XDC masternodes and join the network’s institutional validator set alongside Deutsche Telekom, HashKeyCloud, Republic, SBI Holdings and UOB Venture Management. XDC says its chain processes billions of dollars in trade finance and RWA transactions annually, and the partnership gives Animoca infrastructure exposure to tokenized assets while potentially routing more builders from its portfolio toward XDC. This is more validator credibility than product launch, but it strengthens XDC’s pitch as enterprise-grade rails for trade finance, settlement and RWAs.
