London-based subscription platform OnlyFans is reportedly negotiating the sale of a 60% stake to California private equity firm Architect Capital.

Summary
  • OnlyFans is reportedly selling a 60% stake.
  • Fenix International, OnlyFans’ parent company, invested about $19.9 million in Ethereum during 2021–2022.
  • By November 2022, falling crypto prices caused an $8.45 million impairment; whether the company still holds the assets remains to be seen.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the deal could value the company, known for its X-rated content, at $3.5 billion, or $5.5 billion including debt.

Architect Capital, which specializes in restructuring complex businesses, aims to improve payment systems for under-banked creators, many of whom face barriers due to adult-themed content.

Current majority owner Leo Radvinsky, who acquired OnlyFans from founders Tim and Guy Stokley in 2018, has attempted to pivot the platform toward a social-media-style experience while still generating revenue.

Financial filings show Radvinsky has received nearly $1 billion in dividends over two years.

Radvinsky began exploring offers to sell the platform last year for around $8 billion.

OnlyFans continues to be highly profitable, with annual net revenue near $1.6 billion, and Architect Capital envisions a public listing by 2028. The sale remains speculative, with negotiations ongoing and no contract finalized.

Ethereum holdings

OnlyFans’ parent company, Fenix International, invested roughly $19.9 million in Ethereum during 2021–2022.

By November 30, 2022, declining crypto prices had caused an $8.45 million impairment, reducing the holdings’ reported value to $11.4 million, though the company still retained the assets with no stated restrictions on selling.

Fenix has previously explored Ethereum-based NFTs for profile pictures, signaling ongoing interest in crypto despite its volatility.

No updates confirm whether the company sold or continued holding its Ethereum through to 2025, when the market turned bearish.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
