Next stop in the @colosseum Crypto World’s Fair hackathon 🎡 After DePIN, I took a look at two more categories: Enterprise & Compliance + Data & Analytics.

Here is my selection of the most interesting projects:
@NAUT_so - shows who decides at any crypto company, with a verified Telegram to reach them

@SegmentoAI - Google Analytics for Solana, showing what each KOL really brings to a project

@PlotArmorX - verifiable rights for film and entertainment IP, with ownership records on Solana

@reyelapp - AI customer success agents that find your real users and tell you what to ship next

@ConyrAI - real-time Solana intelligence that links wallets, traces funding and flags suspicious activity

@ForgeAI_gg - arena and benchmark where AI agents compete in games and strategy challenges

@myrad_hq - two-sided marketplace for verifiable human data

Which project would you add? Drop it in the comments 👇

Whop valuation triples to $5.1B with Sequoia in the Series D

In February, @tether invested $200M in @whop at $1.6B. The October round priced it at $5.1B.

Steven Schwartz, co-founder and CEO, in his announcement on 21 Oct: "It really feels like we are barely touching the tip of the iceberg in a market larger than anyone can imagine."

Whop today, per FinTech Global:
• About 25,000 business operators use it
• More than 50,000 people earning money on it each month
• More than $7B in transactions, across 185 countries

The round:
• $200M Series D, announced 21 Oct 2026
• Sequoia Capital is among its backers
• Sequoia's Douglas Leone joins the board, per Schwartz's announcement

Tether's own $200M was announced on 25 Feb 2026, to power payments on the platform in USDT and the US-focused USAT.

Another $200M, at 3x the valuation, inside 1 year. February's $1.6B looks cheap now.

The $200M Series D, who backed it, and 1 Whop co-founder are on NAUT.

Stifel leads $31.6M into Meow, will sell Meow's tech as Stifel's

A US investment bank established in 1890 plans to offer its commercial clients a fintech's treasury platform with stablecoin payments built in.

Ron Kruszewski, Stifel's Chairman and CEO, on the deal: "The innovation economy is one of Stifel's most important growth opportunities"

The round, announced Thursday 15 Oct 2026:
• $31.6M Series B, led by @Stifel, with Archetype also in
• Stifel calls it a strategic investment, a minority stake per Dealroom
• It also includes a services agreement

Stifel's venture and fund banking arm, in its own numbers:
• Deposits up nearly 6x since September 2023, to more than $10B
• 500+ high-growth companies and 250 fund clients
• Onboarding onto the platform set to begin early 2027, those clients first

Stifel plans to put @Meow's treasury platform in front of them under the Stifel brand, including bill pay, expense management, invoicing, stablecoin payments and AI back-office tools.

Meow launched in 2021 selling crypto yield to corporate treasuries, then moved to Treasury bills and business banking after the 2022 crash.

CEO Brandon Arvanaghi's announcement says Meow "has accepted" the round.

If it goes to plan, Meow's tech reaches 500+ companies through a bank they already use.

The $31.6M round, and who backed it, is on NAUT.
