๐จ Big news today: Weโve raised $100M for our Series A! ๐ ๐
We believe demand for fast inference is many times larger than demand for slow inference, and itโs about to go exponential.
Thanks to our co-leads @BlackbirdVC and @Abstractvc. Two visionary partners join our journey ๐ ๐
Proud to triple down on @hifiHQโs $37M Series A, led by @leftlanecap!
We first backed @ZachaWalsh and Mo Afifi at pre-seed in 2024. Everyone was chasing stablecoin buzz. HiFi was heads-down on the hard part: the infrastructure companies actually launch products on.
Two years later they process $7B+ a year for 50+ fintechs.
They powered @The_DTCC โs tokenized repo pilot, and they settle stablecoins alongside @Visa Direct.
Along the way, we've connected them with corporates across the @PlugandPlayTC ecosystem. Several became investors, and some became customers. Video below๐

โPublic-by-default works a lot better when there isnโt much worth keeping private.โ
$200B/month in stablecoin money mvmt changes the privacy conversation pretty quicklyโฆ
Every platform shift has redefined how money moves. From the web to mobile, and now to AI and global-first businesses.
We at @PlugandPlayTC are excited to back @princdann & @Hanafi_Iss as they continue on their mission to rebuild the stack ๐ช
Introducing Inflowpay.
Collect one-time and recurring card payments from anywhere in the world. No punishing fees, no settlement delays, no chargeback hell, no local tax nightmares. Live in under an hour.
The first payment infrastructure built natively for a borderless world.
As a lifelong Floridian, itโs amusing to see a place go from being universally mocked by the business and cultural elite for hanging chads and Florida Man to becoming the shining example of good governance.
That said, itโs sad (and a bit cowardly) to see so few of our famous newcomers acknowledge the real reasons why theyโre uprooting their family offices and businesses and social lives after years of exporting West Coast morality to everywhere but here.
Just admit why youโre coming. No one is moving here for the weather.
๐ Florida goes FULL CRYPTO! ๐
Florida just became the 1st state to pass a dedicated #Stablecoin framework. SB 314 is officially headed to @RonDeSantis for signature.
Whatโs changing?
โ Legal clarity for issuers (not a security!)
โ Consumer protections & 1:1 reserve audits
โ Pilot program to pay govt fees in stablecoins
โ Aligned with the federal GENIUS Act
Prediction: major businesses will begin accepting Stablecoins in Florida, bypassing merchant fees.
Huge congrats to @meshpay and to @bamazizimesh on closing a $75M Series C and reaching unicorn status ๐ฆ
Whatโs validating to see right now is why this is happening. Many of the corporate partners I work with are all-in on stablecoins and programmable payments as core infrastructure, not experiments. The shift toward compliant, interoperable, borderless rails is real.
Bam is a tremendous operator, and Mesh has been focused from the inception on abstraction, compliance, and usability โ making crypto payments work inside existing systems rather than forcing behavior change.
Proud that @PlugandPlayTC was a day-1 supporter. Across Plug and Play Crypto & Digital Assets, we work with Layer 1 ecosystems on ecosystem development and with early-stage founders on finding true product-market fit.
Our Web2.5 thesis is finally coming to fruition and unicorns like Mesh are the proof.
While most people focus on financial services, core infrastructure like energy, wireless and compute are all moving onchain and flying massively under the radarโฆ
Congrats to the EV3 guys @danconia_crypto@moneromahesh for helping pioneer this space and getting it to a scale that's useful for the world's largest companies
Excited to continue partnering on this journey ๐
1/ Weโre thrilled to announce EV3 Venture Fund II, an oversubscribed $61.74M early-stage venture fund dedicated to backing entrepreneurs with generational drive and ambition. Weโre tripling down on crypto with bigger checks and deeper involvement.
Watch the EV3 Vision Below:
Today, Arch is happy to announce the closing of a $75M tokenized CLO with @galaxyhq issued on @avax, to continue to finance our crypto-backed loans.
This is institutional credit infrastructure on modern rails.
Tokenization is finally moving from theory to production.
The real question isnโt who holds U.S. debt.. itโs who generates dollar demand.
AI-driven, machine-native commerce creates continuous settlement needs, and stablecoins become the bridge to U.S. Treasuries and thus what looks neutral on a balance sheet is, structurally, a new source of monetary power.
We at @PlugandPlayTC are proud to back @bitstack as they announce their $15M Series A and take a major step forward in reshaping consumer finance across Europe.
Bitstack was one of the very first investments I made as an investor, and I still remember that first meeting in September 2021.
@alexroubaud, fresh off the acquisition of Moka, already had a rare conviction: Bitcoin wasnโt just an asset. It was a financial innovation that could help everyday people save, spend, and build wealth more meaningfully.
Since then, Bitstack has become the #1 French crypto app. Weโve backed Alexandre Roubaud and @setkabir in every round, and weโre tripling down again in this Series A, because theyโve consistently done what great teams do: ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.
One thing that stood out in this round is the participation of @AG2RLAMONDIALE, one of Franceโs largest insurance and retirement providers. Their involvement reflects a broader shift weโre starting to see more as traditional financial institutions begin integrating crypto into mainstream products.
Itโs a shift that aligns closely with my Web2.5 thesis: the most impactful consumer products blend the trust and distribution of established finance with the transparency and alignment of crypto-native rails. Bitstack has embodied this from the start; now serving 300,000+ users in France and expanding across Europe.
This new $15M round will fuel Bitstackโs expansion across Europe and power the launch of a first-of-its-kind Bitcoin-branded @Visa card, enabling unlimited Bitcoin โstackbackโ on every purchase.
