🚨 ⚡ Breaking: I’m proud to share that has... raised $82 million in Series B funding to build the first truly global #crypto #payments #network – one that makes crypto as easy, seamless, and universal to use as fiat. Most of the investments were closed with PayPal USD (#PYUSD) stablecoin. This round, led by Paradigm (Charlie Noyes & Matt Huang) with participation from Consensys.eth , QuantumLight, Yolo Investments, Evolution VC, Hike Ventures, Opportuna and AltaIR Capital, that brings our total funding to over $120 million.

Users can pay with any asset they hold – BTC, ETH, SOL – while merchants settle in the hashtag#stablecoin of their choice: PYUSD, RLUSD, USDC. It’s seamless, instant, and works everywhere. Just like it should. It’s the foundational infrastructure for a #borderless, open financial system. A system where payments aren’t confined by geography, banking hours, or asset types. One network that works across #TradFi and #crypto. Our technology already powers payments, deposits, and transfers across 300+ wallets, exchanges, and platforms. We reach over 400 million users in 100+ countries. With this capital, we’re expanding globally to making crypto payments as easy as using a credit card.

S&P Global Ratings, the world’s leading provider of credit... ratings, benchmarks, and analytics referenced by 95% of the top 20 global institutional investors, has partnered with Chainlink to publish its Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSAs) onchain for the first time through DataLink. Through this partnership, more than 2,400 institutions, protocols, and developers in the Chainlink ecosystem can now directly access these assessments across 40+ public and private blockchains. This milestone marks a major leap forward in the capital markets’ adoption of tokenized finance. As S&P Global increasingly moves onchain, the company brings with it: • Over 1 million credit ratings outstanding • 1,500+ credit analysts across 150+ countries • Ratings coverage for ~1 million securities • 4,600+ corporates rated globally The stablecoin market now exceeds $300 billion, nearly doubling from a year prior. With the passage of the GENIUS Act, the first U.S. federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, these digital assets are now positioned as core financial infrastructure for global payments, trade, and settlement. However, institutions seeking to integrate stablecoins require transparent, standardized, and verifiable onchain risk insights to do so responsibly. S&P Global Ratings’ SSAs fill that gap. These assessments evaluate a stablecoin’s ability to maintain parity with fiat currencies, scored from 1 (very strong) to 5 (weak), based on asset quality, governance, liquidity, redemption mechanisms, and track record. Chainlink infrastructure, which actively secures nearly $100 billion in DeFi TVL and has enabled more than $25 trillion in onchain transaction value, ensures these assessments are delivered with industry-standard reliability, security, and data integrity. This partnership signals the beginning of a new era in financial markets, where real-time, institutionally validated risk data becomes the foundational layer of onchain finance. Learn more:show more
