A little-known AI alpha account on X just dropped one of the cleanest institutional plays we’ve seen in months.
@aixbt_agent pointed out to a fresh partnership that has the $EDU army absolutely buzzing: Nasdaq-listed Rich Sparkle Holdings Limited (ticker: ANPA, recently rebranded and formerly doing business in other sectors) is committing up to $50 million to acquire $EDU tokens over the next 24 months.
That works out to roughly $2.08 million per month starting immediately, mostly through open-market purchases and some OTC. For the first time ever, a U.S.-listed public company is programmatically dollar-cost-averaging into a token that specifically powers education infrastructure.
Why this actually matters (beyond the headline number)
Most public-company crypto treasury moves so far have been Bitcoin (MicroStrategy style) or occasional Ethereum exposure. This is different — ANPA is going all-in on a sector-specific token that already shows real revenue:
- Just 12 teachers on the platform have generated $350k in revenue for creators.
- Mainnet launch is scheduled for Q1 2026, bringing full decentralization and foundation-led buybacks on top of ANPA’s monthly purchases.
- Animoca Brands, one of the biggest players in Web3 gaming and education, is facilitating liquidity and part of the deal structure.
From the official release:
“ANPA will purchase up to US$50 million in EDU tokens through open-market and OTC transactions over the next 24 months as part of its EduFi (Education Finance) strategy.”
Quick background on Open Campus and $EDU
Open Campus is a community-led protocol that lets teachers, creators, and students co-own and monetize educational content via NFTs and the $EDU token. Think decentralized Coursera or Udemy where creators actually capture the upside instead of the platform taking everything.
$EDU is used for:
- Paying for courses and content
- Governance votes
- Staking and revenue share
- Publisher NFTs (fractional ownership of future revenue streams from hit courses)
The protocol already has real traction in Asia and is expanding aggressively into Western markets.
Price action and setup
At time of writing $EDU is trading around $0.16–$0.17 with a market cap still under $100 million. A guaranteed ~$2 million monthly bid (and potentially more from the foundation after mainnet) on a token this size creates serious structural buying pressure.
Add the fact that this is a public company treasury allocation (not a one-time purchase) and you get the kind of setup that has historically sent mid-cap tokens 5-20x when the narrative clicks.
The meme angle
Yes, we’re Meme Insider, and $EDU isn’t a dog coin — but these institutional “DCA into small-cap utility” stories are exactly where the wildest meme-style rallies are born. Remember when GameStop got institutional attention, or when certain low-float alts got treasury announcements? Same energy, just with actual revenue and a Nasdaq ticker behind it this time.
Traders are already calling it “the first real education meme” because the chart setup plus the narrative is just too clean.
Whether you’re here for the long-term Web3 education thesis or just the short-term squeeze potential, this is one of the highest-conviction institutional flows hitting crypto right now.
DYOR, markets move fast, and past performance isn’t future results — but a Nasdaq company stacking your bags every 30 days is the kind of alpha that doesn’t come around often.
