[Latitude @rtp]

Hello World!

Latitude is live.

We built stablecoin-to-local-fiat infrastructure across 50+ countries so businesses can move money globally at a flat 0.5% rate, with no hidden spreads or volume commitments.

Global payments are broken. We're fixing the rails.

$8M seed led by NEA. Team from Uber, Coinbase, Stripe, and more.

[Cyril Mathew @cyril_mathew]

Over a decade ago at Uber, we were paying drivers across 40 countries. Their top ask: "Pay me faster." That stuck with me through Coinbase and Stripe, where I kept running into the same wall from different angles.

Today, Latitude (@rtp) is launching out of stealth. We raised an $8M seed round in Jan 2025 and have been building quietly since then.

[OpenFX @openfx_]

There are two ways to touch 8 billion lives: acquire 8 billion individual customers, or build the infrastructure for the institutions that already serve them.

We chose the latter.

Today we're announcing OpenFX’s $94M Series A from @Accel, @atomico, @FactionVC, @M13Company , @northzoneVC, @PanteraCapital, and with support from existing investors @flybridge and @hash3xyz.

[Tres.finance @TresDotFinance]

Huge announcement from the TRES team! Today, TRES has been acquired by @FireblocksHQ!

Together, we now complete the first complete operating system for digital assets.

TRES brings accounting, reporting, and controls to onchain activity - built for auditability, scale, and real-world financial operations. Today, more than 200 leading companies across traditional finance and digital assets rely on TRES  to deliver compliant, audit-ready financial records.

@FireblocksHQ is the trusted infrastructure institutions use to build, operate, and scale digital asset businesses. With TRES, those operations now extend seamlessly into accurate, contextualised, compliant records that meet enterprise standards - bringing operations and back-office finance into a single system.

Michael Shaulov, Co-founder and CEO of Fireblocks:

“With digital assets now part of day-to-day financial operations, both crypto-native firms and traditional institutions need clear, accurate accounting and auditability. Crypto companies must meet higher standards around tax reporting and disclosures, while banks and fintechs need reconciliation and controls that align with their existing ERP and ledger systems. By bringing TRES into the Fireblocks ecosystem, customers can now run both their operations and their back-office finance on one secure, compliant, and scalable stack.”

Together, Fireblocks and TRES form the foundational infrastructure for an onchain financial world.

[INFINIT @Infinit_Labs]

INFINIT partners with @Google and @GoogleCloudTech to bring agentic finance to millions.

Anyone can access INFINIT's AI Agents for agentic coordination in their financial apps.

This partnership marks the first step towards INFINIT becoming the universal infrastructure for agentic finance.

This is the foundation for agentic finance at scale.

Proven in DeFi, Built for Global Finance

INFINIT has proven sophisticated agent coordination in DeFi:
• 559,000+ Wallets
• 506,000+ DeFi Conversations
• 633,000+ Agent Transactions

DeFi was the start. Next is scaling these capabilities to millions of developers building the future of agentic finance.

A2A Integration Unlocks Exponential Distribution

INFINIT integrates with Agent2Agent (A2A), Google's open standard for AI agent interoperability.

This transforms how developers access INFINIT's DeFi capabilities.​

Every application adopting A2A automatically gains access to INFINIT's agent infrastructure, exponentially expanding reach from individual partnerships to ecosystem-wide distribution.

Any application can now integrate INFINIT's agentic coordination capabilities:
• Wallets requiring intelligent portfolio management
• Trading platforms executing cross-chain strategies
• Financial services building autonomous yield optimization
• Portfolio managers coordinating multi-protocol operations

Developers integrate sophisticated agentic coordination in a matter of hours, while users access advanced financial strategies with agentic coordination.

Google's AI Infrastructure That Enables Agentic Finance

Google Cloud's Vertex AI provides the foundation enabling INFINIT's agent coordination at scale with these capabilities:​

1. Specialization: Vertex AI's Model Garden lets INFINIT's infrastructure to automatically select the optimal LLM for each natural language query.​

2. Personalization: Vertex AI's RAG Engine processes massive on-chain and off-chain data, enabling agents to understand user history, market conditions, and protocol details providing complete context to AI agents.

3. Accuracy: Gemini's capability feeds complete instructions to all 30+ agents across multiple blockchains without compromises resulting in zero hallucination in financial execution.​​

The Vision: From DeFi to Payments to Complete Financial Coordination

This is only the beginning of INFINIT and Google's collaboration.​

Google recently launched its Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) as an extension of A2A - enabling autonomous commerce across 60+ partners including American Express, Mastercard, PayPal, Coinbase, and Revolut.​

Agents will be able to execute purchases, coordinate bookings, and manage delegated financial tasks autonomously, starting from payments.

The next stage entails sophisticated agentic coordination beyond simple transactions. INFINIT provides this through A2A-compatible DeFi infrastructure where agents orchestrate:

• Personalized yield optimization
• Cross-chain liquidity management
• Portfolio rebalancing across protocols
• Multi-step strategy execution

As the agentic payment ecosystem matures, INFINIT becomes the infrastructure enabling agents to not only spend capital, but strategically manage and grow it.​​

From standalone DeFi agents to the universal infrastructure for global agentic finance.​

This partnership and integration with Google and Google Cloud positions INFINIT as a key building block for agentic finance, helping shape a more transparent, efficient, and accessible financial system.

The future of finance is agentic. The foundation is INFINIT.

[GAIB @gaib_ai]

Today we announce a $30 million GPU tokenization partnership with Siam AI, one of Thailand’s leading AI data center operators!

This partnership is our first GPU tokenization deal and we’re extremely excited to bring it to live.

The financing will enable Siam AI to expand its GPU infrastructure to support its scaling operations, while starting the GPU tokenization deal flow for the GAIB ecosystem.

Who is Siam

Siam AI Cloud is a next-generation cloud provider powering enterprise-scale GPU workloads across Southeast Asia. Optimized for AI/ML, VFX rendering, and compute-intensive tasks, Siam’s infrastructure is up to 35x faster and 80% more cost-effective than traditional cloud providers.

GAIB and Siam

AI demand is accelerating, but the infrastructure needed to support it faces significant capital bottlenecks.

Traditional banks and private credit are too slow, rigid, and costly for fast-growing data centers, preventing them from scaling at the pace of innovation.

GAIB solves this by transforming GPUs into tokenized assets that can be financed rapidly through decentralized markets.

These assets stay liquid as synthetic dollars and yield-bearing instruments (stablecoins) while offering yield to investors.

At $30 million, this marks the largest GPU tokenization deal in Asia to date, underscoring GAIB’s leadership in bridging the gap between AI infrastructure and crypto-native capital formation.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we bring the AI Infra economy onchain!
