We’ve raised $8.7M to bring clearing to the masses. Our new round was led by Blockchange to work on the most powerful idea in finance. It’s not just about moving money faster & cheaper; it’s about moving less while doing more.

If you want institutions using onchain credit, vibes don't cut it. They need frameworks. Collateral policy. Monitoring. Reporting. Governance. @BirchHill_io gets that institutions follow risk models, not narratives. @Nascent backed.
Credit is the backbone of the global financial system and it is moving onchain. With RWA supply reaching $20Bn and $300Bn in stablecoins, the opportunity is clear but institutions still lack the infrastructure. This is what @birchhill_io was built to fix.

Term-based staking on Solana unlocks higher yields for stakers and certainty for validators We like things that make markets more efficient and create better alignment Excited for @nascent to be backing @pyefinance
9 Dec 2025
We’ve raised a $5M seed round led by @variantfund and @cbventures to build Solana’s first market for term-based staking. Staking is evolving beyond set-and-forget delegation. Validators and stakers need clear terms, predictable rewards, and real price discovery.

A $200M seed round at $1B FDV?! Yes... and no. @AndreCronjeTech's @flyingtulip_ just launched one of the most original fundraising models we've seen in crypto. Let’s break down how it works—and why it matters. 🧵

Every new stablecoin and chain is supposed to make payments easier. All we’ve done is create more silos and more headaches. @BungeeExchange’s Stablecoin Engine is the first real answer: Certainty, everywhere, for anyone who actually wants to use this stuff.
Stablecoins: stable in price but unstable to use. Until now.
