Founders Fund led a $5 million purchase of ANVL governance tokens from the Anvil treasury, with participation from Pantera Capital, Theta Blockchain Ventures, Bullish, and Protoscale Capital. The transaction involved existing tokens rather than new issuance, occurring as Anvil rolls out a software development kit designed to help businesses integrate its collateral protocol without writing blockchain code.
Anvil uses digital assets as collateral to guarantee financial commitments, such as payments and credit, without requiring providers to take out loans or pay interest. The protocol currently has 80 billion tokens in circulation out of a total supply of 100 billion, and holders of the purchased tokens will gain governance rights over the platform’s development.
