Today, we’re excited to share that Velocity has raised a $38 million Series A.
The round was led by @dragonfly_xyz and @FirstMarkCap, with participation from @ActivantCapital, @QEDInvestors, @CapitalOne Ventures, @Ripple Ventures, @coinbase Ventures, @wintermute_t Ventures and other existing investors.
This funding will accelerate our mission to be the back-office layer for global commerce, enabling companies to move, manage, and deploy stablecoin balances across markets.
A huge thank you to our customers, partners, team and investors for believing in what we’re building. We’re just getting started.

It’s the year 2026 and payments infrastructure is still, incredibly, analog and outdated. An initial wave of stablecoin payments companies proved out the use cases, but true enterprise stablecoin adoption has required hands on leadership from those who have been deep in the trenches of legacy payments infrastructure.
Eric and the Velocity team have a level of experience and understanding that the market has been sorely lacking and they have been able to open the eyes of enterprises to how stablecoins can enhance legacy payments and treasury stacks.
Velocity serves clients from some of the worlds top acquirers to card networks, banks and global F500s, and we’re ecstatic to be able to co-lead their Series A with Firstmark and a host of other great investors, including Capital One’s first ever investment in the space.

Democratization of all markets continues

Hedge funds are trying and failing to hire prediction market sharps. "We are just getting crushed by these sharps," said Susquehanna's Jeff Yass. @iscoe tells the story of a guy who's made 7 figures trading Rotten Tomatoes betting markets, and rejected an offer from SIG: "He said, 'Not only am I just making a killing, but I can do things that a big institutional fund can't do.'" "He's a Rotten Tomatoes trader. He trades how a film's going to do on Rotten Tomatoes. He's made 7 figures, easily. He's building models, scraping websites, and he's doing things that SIG, through their corporate policies, maybe wouldn't allow." "And he asked in the interview, 'Could I do this technique?' And they said, 'Yeah, probably not.'" "And this guy, he self-describes as a 'dips**t from the Midwest.' He's like, 'I didn't go to an Ivy League school, and I'm able to outcompete Wall Street with a $600 Lenovo laptop.'" From his appearance on the show last month.

Introducing: Artemis Analyst
I learned from the best investors at @whalerock and @insightpartners.
Today we productize all the learnings I had as an analyst to help make AI investing accessible to ALL.
We connected Fable 5 with 12+ proprietary data sources: 3,000+ equities, consensus estimates, crypto fundamentals, ETF flows, tokenization, prediction markets, and stablecoins.
A top investor told us “after using Artemis Analyst 3x, I’m hooked”
Questions you can answer and create charts for:
> What is EV / NTM revenue for high growth SaaS ✅
> What is Anthropic vs OpenAI ARR? ✅
> What is the prediction market share of $HOOD Rothera during the World Cup ✅
> Build me a $HYPE model ✅
It’s still in beta and free in July.
It’s what I wanted when I was an analyst at Whale Rock / Insight, packed with skills and data so I can focus on the fun part of investing: creating thesis and making calls.
Use the Artemis Analyst today :)

BREAKING: Hyundai completes first stablecoin payments on Avalanche
Hyundai Card and Hyundai Motor Company have laid the groundwork for stablecoin payments on Avalanche, completing a successful pilot with Tether and Axiym.
English
I think there’s a general point about how the always online generation has grown up with a greater weight of expectations (that they put on each other) of where they are supposed to go and how they are supposed to experience life. People should just do the things that make them happy and have fun the way they want.
But it was never that costly for you and I to make that decision to opt out of a certain experience or do something different at 25. Now @notthreadguy thinks he has to perform for an audience of everyone on social, so that makes the decision to forego buzzy clubs (or similar relatively meaningless decisions) have a whole different calculus and the decision feels greater. Which is why he felt the need to write a blog post about it.
English
@HadickM that's basically the right way to deal with all of these cool buzzy places
English
The hamptons is fun though. You just have to do it on your own terms and with and around people you know. The way all the 20 somethings make themselves go to the right places with the right tables is a grind and not fun.
It’s honestly one of those places which is better at 40 than it was at 28.

@HadickM i've had fun in the hamptons, but wouldn't be caught dead at the surf lodge

@web4O If there’s something in August or early September should work

Is it just me or is the level of anger, negativity, bad faith tear downs/fights and vitriol just skyrocketing on twitter this past 6-12 months? Think we’d all benefit from taking a step back and realizing that life is a multiplayer game, and technology is not zero sum.
English
@heider891 @grok It’s not whether or not it’s in the rules, I’m stating that’s not how VAR should be used. An opinion, though one I’m sure is shared by many
English
There is absolutely no way VAR should be used in that manner.
English
@HadickM agree with the commentators on this one
"stepping on a toe 100 yards away from a goal is not what VAR was brought into this game for"
