We are excited to announce our $8.3M Series A to build the financial control layer for companies operating across stablecoin, crypto and fiat rails.
Stablecoins settle in seconds. Yet too many treasury, risk, and compliance controls still run on business-day logic.
Range closes that gap: a single real-time platform unifying your wallets, custodians, bank accounts, and exchanges, with risk and compliance controls that screen transactions before money moves and full visibility across rails.
This round brings our total funding to $11M. Investors in the round include TX Ventures, @Maven11Capital, @SixThirty_630ft, @StellarOrg, Onigiri Capital, and others.
Range is already running at scale:
- $30B+ in assets under management protected
- 99.41% of all stablecoin payments tracked across 200+ networks
- 10,000+ integrations across banks, custodians, and wallets
See what total financial control looks like across stablecoins, crypto and fiat 👇

most of what is considered "taste" (read: design) is in the realm of zero sum signaling games
your tasteslop will just be the next AI slop
and then your anti-tasteslop will become the next tasteslop
taste is defined in terms of slop and therefore can never transcend slop.
Bro I'm so fucking sick of pretending this is normal.
AI was trained on Stack Overflow answers written by developers who got zero dollars and zero credit, and now those same developers are losing their jobs to the thing their free labor built.
We built the rope. They just used it.
I once talked to a Mistral researcher who told me that even internally everyone just uses Claude Code or Codex.
I asked him how does the company survive given that it's models are so far from the frontier and he told me that Mistral hovers up contracts with all the major EU enterprises like Airbus and BMW. Likely with French government backing.
It is remarkable that the Germans and the English are letting the French get away with this. It seems both countries are too caught up with their own domestic issues.
If there were actual competition like in the Chinese ecosystem I imagine EU AI sovereignty might be somewhat of a realistic prospect.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

I think we’ve reached the point where normal people can’t really determine whether new models are better than previous ones. Like Fable doesn’t seem that much better to me, but every 150 IQ person I know is like “wow the singularity came sooner than I thought”.

Compliance shouldn't feel like a UX speed bump.
