Investor Raise

More than $30M raised from leading investors in digital assets and fintech, including Circle, a16z Crypto, and Mercury Fund. That backing supports a long-term build: trusted infrastructure that gives platforms and businesses access to institutional-grade yield, and turns the balances they already hold into growth.
