• Expanding blockchain-based payment options across AGAE’s global IP portfolio, including esports events, gaming platforms, and experiential entertainment venues.
• Developing proprietary tokenization models for RWA (Real World Assets), such as live entertainment rights, property management revenue streams, and film/animation IP monetization.
• Laying groundwork for stablecoin and utility token integration within the Company’s digital ecosystem to enhance user engagement, cross-border transactions, and ecosystem liquidity.

By incorporating BTC and ETH into its asset allocation strategy, AGAE seeks to enhance its financial foundation while aligning with the accelerating adoption of digital assets by institutional investors and global enterprises, supported by a regulatory landscape that is steadily evolving to enable broader market acceptance.
