Abstract wave of light in soft hues, creating a fluid and dynamic background with a sense of movement and energy.

1Money is an integrated financial platform combining regulated fiat and stablecoin payments, tokenized asset issuance and a purpose-built Layer 1 network to power the future of global money movement.

"Eight years ago, I helped launch the world’s first blockchain-powered cross-border remittance solution. That experience showed me how blockchain and stablecoins could make global money movement faster, cheaper and more accessible. Since then, I’ve focused on building the infrastructure to connect traditional finance, fintech and Web3 into one seamless global system."

Allium is a data infrastructure platform that transforms raw data from 150-plus blockchains into standardized, finance-ready datasets, serving as the system of record for on-chain finance.

“Before Allium, I spent almost a decade building data infrastructure for enterprise technology companies. When I started working with blockchain data in 2021, I saw the same scaling problem: the biggest, most public dataset ever created, but no one had made it readable for institutional finance. My vision is to make on-chain data accessible with the same confidence as any financial system of record.”

Ethan Chan
CEO and co-founder

Koywe is a financial intelligence platform powered by stablecoins and AI, enabling businesses to pay, collect, and manage cross-border operations in real time.

"The world in five years will look nothing like today, with wallets replacing bank accounts and AI agents handling more transactions than people. We built Koywe to power that shift, the regulated infrastructure that makes it all work across Latin America and beyond.”

Kredete is a global financial platform that enables banks, corporates, and individuals to move money across emerging markets instantly through agentic execution on stablecoin rails.

“I entered fintech after experiencing firsthand how difficult it can be to access financial services across borders, even when you are financially responsible.

Adeola Adedewe
CEO and founder

OpenFX is a cross-border payments infrastructure platform that powers programmatic FX, multi-currency banking and real-time global money movement using stablecoins and local payment rails.

“Growing up in Dubai, I saw lines outside remittance branches — people paying high fees to send money home. Years later, when I came back after years in the Bay Area, little had changed despite major tech advancements. That gap is where OpenFX began with a simple mission: Make money move as freely as data.”

Prabhakar Reddy
CEO and founder

Trace Finance is the regulated banking and payments infrastructure that enables global fintechs, exchanges and enterprises to move money between Brazil and the rest of the world through local rails, PIX, FX and stablecoin settlement.

“I saw firsthand how broken cross-border payments were in Brazil, where companies turned to Bitcoin simply to move money that traditional rails delayed for days through intermediary banks and slow, fragmented infrastructure. My vision is a financial system where regulated local infrastructure and stablecoin settlement work together, so any company can move money across borders as instantly and reliably as sending a message.”

Bernando Brites
CEO and co-founder

Walapay is a global money movement platform that enables fintechs, PSPs, marketplaces and payroll providers to collect, hold and send money across any currency and country.

That experience sparked my passion for crypto, fintech and ultimately led to the creation of Walapay. Our vision is to build the infrastructure that enables businesses to move money seamlessly across any currency and country, with a focus on unlocking opportunity in emerging markets.”

Tom Borgers
