Congrats to @mottice and the entire team at @beam_cash!

[daniel mottice @mottice]

Beam just raised $7M!

every year, over $150 trillion moves across borders. those funds reach everything from global commerce and payroll to humanitarian aid and migrant remittances. unfortunately, most of that money still flows through old systems weighed down by delays, fees, and opacity.

we started @beam_cash in 2022 to fix this. we knew stablecoins would be a foundation for a financial system that finally works at internet speed. a system that moves value globally, instantly, and transparently.

but to get there, we had to connect it to the infra businesses already rely on. so we built something from the ground up:

a first-of-its-kind payment service provider (PSP) that pairs the efficiency of stablecoins (the world’s first truly global settlement layer) with the familiarity of instant payment networks (RTP, FedNow, Visa Direct, Mastercard Send, etc.).

the end result being the fastest, cheapest, and smartest way to get money into the hands of businesses, governments, nonprofits, and people.

today, companies like @SlingMoney, @CoalaPay, @Antimetal, @HyperspaceAI, Braid, @playonShaga, @Shield_xyz, and @Goldenvoice use Beam to power everything from bulk creator payouts and wallet top-ups to treasury management and vendor disbursements.

it’s clear there’s never been a better way to move money from point A to point B.

the last few months have marked a major shift in momentum. we welcomed Frank Pinto (@frankjpinto) as our Engineering Lead and Scott Elliot as our Compliance Lead. we’ve seen a surge in demand, we’re shipping faster than ever, and the timing feels right. regulations are shifting. corporates are jumping in. the market is finally catching up to the future we’ve been building toward.

to keep up with the pace, we’re going to need more hands on deck. starting with a Senior AE to help bring stablecoins to even more businesses around the world.

the next few months will be even more exciting. we have a lot on the roadmap to deliver more value to banks, fintechs, traditional PSPs, merchants and the builders modernizing financial infra at every layer.

to everyone who’s supported us on this journey, thank you. building a startup comes with many sacrifices. but when you believe deeply in what you’re building, and you feel the momentum from partners, customers, and supporters… you know you’re on the right track.

to our investors, @CastleIslandVC, @Archetypevc, @Arca, @BanklessVC, @VerdaVentures MiniPay fund, and Shack15 Ventures, we’re grateful for your conviction in what comes next.

we’re now one step closer to connecting stablecoins natively to every instant payment rail in the world.

P.S. huge thanks to @RyanLawler from @Axios for covering the raise! check out the article in the comments to learn more about this round

[Marco Santori @msantoriESQ]

Amid the market noise today, there is signal.

Please meet my new project, @defidevcorp. It’s a public crypto company with a new strategy going live today. I like to think of it as Microstrategy For Everything Else… and we’re starting with Solana.

It’s a team run by Kraken alums like @0xinliberty and @TheOtherParker_ and Kraken backed us financially. We’re keeping the squad together.

@PanteraCapital , @Arrington_Cap and @ProtagonistXYZ got an early look as well and seeded us with over $40 million.

We launched today and we’ve tripped Nasdaq’s circuit breaker twenty-three (23) times already. So far so good.

Learned a lot listening to @marcomahrus discuss stablecoins and the future of payments on this episode of the @Surus_Trust podcast.

[Surus @Surus_io]

“At Uber, we were moving money globally across the traditional wire rails and local payment rails, and stitching them together. So it was always apparent that there's a ton of bottom line contribution you can make by just making that money movement more efficient. ” – @marcomahrus, Head of Revenue at Bridge @Stablecoin.

On today’s episode of the @Surus_Trust podcast, Marco Mahrus (ex-Uber, ex-Brex) joined Patrick Murck (@virtuallylaw) to discuss:

🔹 Why emerging market fintechs are building digital “banks” onchain instead of using legacy systems
🔹 How large companies like Uber could use DeFi to cut billions in fees
🔹 The rise of closed-loop stablecoins — enabling stored value and loyalty programs
🔹 What a multi-stablecoin future looks like

The shift is happening.

*ahem, at your event*

[Surus @Surus_io]

Building the bridge between traditional finance and digital assets requires more than technology—it requires trusted infrastructure.

🔹 Regulated custody
🔹 Automated compliance
🔹 Customizable asset management & settlement
🔹 Multi-chain support
🔹 Transparent reporting

This is what makes tokenized assets scalable. This is @Surus_Trust.
