The partnership centers on Ethereum, one of the most widely used blockchain platforms, and aims to deliver products designed for Gen Z and Gen Alpha at massive scale.
The deal highlights how companies are thinking beyond traditional finance. Rather than just creating tokens or wallets, Beast Industries is developing experiences where users can interact with digital assets in meaningful ways, from collectibles to financial tools.
Targeting Young Digital Natives
Gen Z and Gen Alpha represent a massive, tech-savvy audience. According to a 2025 study by Deloitte, over 70% of Gen Z engage with digital assets in some form, whether gaming tokens, collectibles, or NFTs. These generations grew up with smartphones and social media, making them natural adopters of blockchain-based financial tools and digital items.
A real world example comes from Axie Infinity, a blockchain-based game that allowed players to earn tokens through gameplay. At its peak, Axie attracted millions of young users worldwide, demonstrating how digital ecosystems can combine entertainment with financial incentives. Beast Industries aims to scale similar experiences, leveraging Ethereum to create a secure, seamless environment for both gaming and financial interactions.
