And you are bearish on the future?

Real life, baby

If I wasnt in crypto, I'd invest all my money into the robotic welding vertical. In Europe, welders easily 80-100 euros an hour and you'd be lucky to find any with availability within 6 months. You hire one full-time, he gets poached within the year by another shop who pays him more.

Very excited about @atumhq! Very ambitious project to rival the likes of Visa and Mastercard and redefine how merchants interact with payment networks

[Maven 11 @Maven11Capital]

Maven 11 backed Atum, the open payments network. With @PeteCooling at the helm, Atum is challenging the status-quo of how money moves.

Here is our thesis:

[Atum @atumhq]

Atum is live. This is the first day of a new era. Welcome to @atumhq!

[Alex @alexander_mv11]

Money, as it ought to be

[Pete Cooling @PeteCooling]

Welcome to Atum.

That’s what we tell every new partner when they first touch the network. And now we’re saying it to you.

Because today, @atumhq, the open payments network, a first of its kind, is live.

We picked the date intentionally. Today, September 22, marks the autumnal equinox (in the northern hemisphere), a threshold through which the world passes, from one season into another. Atum occupies a similar boundary: between light and darkness, chaos and order, ending and renewal. Atum, as a platform, is positioned at the transition from closed, institution-specific payment systems to an open, programmable network.

Atum is also the creator god symbol in ancient Egypt. Atum is the first, the primordial, and the originating god of creation.

Atum provides the basic building blocks for payments and commerce - the infrastructure, tooling, products and services that make money move the way it ought to.

Our team is comprised of leading payments and onchain experts from companies like @Visa, @coinbase, @chainlink, @CashApp, @tempo, and more.

It’s a new world for payments and commerce.

And it is my ultimate pleasure, passion, and life’s purpose to introduce Atum, the open payments network. We are so glad you’re here.

Welcome to Atum. We do it together.

There are few people I know in the space that have the same drive and energy that @goitbykojiro has. Immensely bullish on Tenka and the onchain ABF space. Its only the beginning!

[Emile @goitbykojiro]

Today, we’re announcing Tenka’s $2M pre-seed round, led by @Maven11Capital with participation from @Gami_Capital to build the market infrastructure for asset-backed finance, from book-building to secondary transactions.

DeFi at its best. Valinor is bringing a truly new asset onchain. BDC's are uncorrelated with typical DeFi yields and opens the door to some interesting strategies down the line as they expand their integrations across the protocols we know and love. Kudos!

[Valinor Digital @ValinorDigital]

Introducing VBDC: Valinor’s first tokenized fund, offering institutional private credit returns with daily liquidity, issued in partnership with @SuperstateInc.
We saw unmet demand for an onchain yield product with broad diversification, private credit returns, and daily redemptions. VBDC delivers this by packaging “smart beta” exposure to publicly traded private credit portfolios from large U.S. asset managers.

allowed myself to get roped into joining the Curation Committee for @umia_finance

built by the guys behind @chainbound_ , some of my favorite founders, and imo going after one of the most pressing remaining problems in our industry:

making tokens actually matter

[Alex @alexander_mv11]

The unlocks of this are huge for neobanks that want to launch their own stable coin-linked card. Instant settlement, visa-level acceptance everywhere, cheaper financing and less balance sheet drag. It's a massive win!

[Credit Coop @creditcoop_xyz]

Introducing Automated Settlement Financing on VisaNet

One of the most trusted names in payments, @Visa is bringing onchain credit into stablecoin-linked card settlement, powered by Credit Coop.

Individual capital. Institutional access.

[Alex @alexander_mv11]

I think this is true for anyone who ascribes meaning and value purely to how intelligent they think they are. It's the same as a weight lifter realising there is a physical limit to how much they can lift and looking at the forklift in envy for showing how weak he actually is. The other view is to realise we are now released from our limitations and free to chase our own curiosity to its maximum

[Alex @alexander_mv11]

Net everything. Cycles makes moving money a thing of the past.

[Cycles @cyclesmoney]

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.

[Alex @alexander_mv11]

Igor breaks down some ways that you can express opinions on a FunctionSpace prediction market. What excites me is that you as a user can express exactly the range and outcome you want without slippage. Your conviction on a specific outcome is always priced the way you want it and not what is available on a (often) illiquid orderbook.

[functionSPACE @functionspaceHQ]

If you've been curious about the functionSPACE demo, here is a long-form video explaining the ins and outs!

[Alex @alexander_mv11]

Building the infrastructure for the future of onchain capital markets. Proud to be backing the amazing team at 3F!

[3F @3f_xyz]

We are excited to announce that @3f_xyz has raised $4 million in seed funding led by @Maven11Capital, with participation from @FPrimeCapital, @MetalayerVC, @GSR_io, Susquehanna Crypto, @Gate_Ventures and others.

3F is building the onchain infrastructure that unlocks leveraged exposure to tokenized real-world assets.

[functionSPACE @functionspaceHQ]

functionSPACE is an open-source protocol and developer framework for prediction markets. Every market is self-liquid out of the box — no need to source market makers or bootstrap liquidity. You define the market, integrate it into your app, and it just works.

Any numerical outcome can become a market, for example:
- NBA game totals
- ETH liquidation volumes
- quarterly GDP growth
- daily high temperatures
- Apple earnings

Offer your users binary questions, price ranges, complex structures all share the same underlying surface. You build the experience; the protocol handles the rest.

Private credit is cracking. Blue Owl halted redemptions and fire sold $1.4B in loans. Tricolor execs charged with fraud. First Brands bankrupt.

The pattern is always the same: opaque valuations, murky collateral, lenders finding out too late.

None of this had to happen. @giacomomevio and I have been watching our portfolio companies build the alternative for years. We finally put the thesis in writing:

Credit markets are meant to be built from the ground up on stablecoin rails.

Stablecoin cash flows are programmable, enforceable collateral. That changes everything about how credit is issued, secured, and repaid.

Full piece breaks down how @rain_fi @creditcoop @fence_inc @maplefinance and @figuretech are making it real.

[Galaxy @galaxyhq]

With private credit at $1.6T, the opportunity is significant.

By turning stablecoin cash flows into enforceable collateral, onchain infrastructure could compete on transparency and risk-adjusted returns.
