Rhuna

Rhuna has raised $2M+ to power the global entertainment economy with stablecoin payments. The raise is led by @Aptos Foundation, with participation from @CoinMarketCap, @keyrock, @AccVentures, @XVentures_Fund, @FunFairVentures, @NewTribeCap & others. Read more details below 👇

Rhuna so far. What started as infrastructure for events is becoming a full financial layer for live experiences. Today Rhuna powers: 🔹Smart contract settlement for payments and access 🔹White-label infrastructure for global events 🔹Revenue tokenization for event ecosystems 🔹A unified wallet for events and transit 🔹On-ramp and off-ramp infrastructure 🔹Composability between Web3 and traditional finance And the direction is clear: payments, stablecoins settlement, identity, and access all converging into one infrastructure layer.

friendly Monday reminder: nobody goes to a festival for the infrastructure. but without it, there is no festival. 👀🎇

@AptosLabs @Mastercard big congrats team!

From Real World Assets to Real World Aptos >> Aptos Labs is proud to join the @Mastercard Crypto Partner Program to help turn on‑chain innovation into trusted, everyday payments on Mastercard's global network.

Not an app. Not a ticketing Platform. Infrastructure. Next week. 👀

Most festivals lose money on infrastructure before a single ticket is sold. UNTOLD Europe cut ticketing fees from 8% to 2%, check-in time from 10 minutes to 2, and nearly tripled their online conversion rate. Rhuna delivers a new baseline that saves organizers 65% on event management costs.

Any IRL gathering is a good gathering, especially the ones focused on building. @Sveatoslav had a great time at @StarknetFndn's xFounders bootcamp, presenting the go-to infrastructure for events. 🔥

The Rhuna expansion continues 🌐 More venues need the go-to infrastructure for events & day-to-day operations. Details coming soon. 👀

IRL is going to crush AI over the next 5 years. In the last 3 months, $750M+ in capital was deployed on "anti-AI" bets. Big players are doubling down on their investments in events, experiences and in-person connection. Here's what I'm seeing: @cornerapp, a social map app for Gen Z, has grown to 60K+ users helping people curate and share places to meet IRL—"Google Maps but social." Everyone ik in NYC loves them. @partiful, @poshvip_, and @LumaHQ have raised a combined $60M and are exploding. Partiful hit 500K+ MAU, Posh hit 6 million registered users, and Luma has over 2 million users signing up for events. Harvard alum @aidaxbaradari just launched @be_inaudible, the first smart device to stop unwanted audio recordings and keep IRL conversations private. @mcuban made a massive bet, investing in Burwoodland, a NYC-based live-events company behind IRL experiences in the US, Canada, and Europe. Former COO and CPO of Hinge officially launched Rodeo to help people spend more time IRL with friends. @a16z keeps doubling down on IRL via investments and a16z Build — a dinner series and community for founders / operators figuring out their next move. @nazzari, @katiekirsch, @eriktorenberg. Billion-dollar companies are paying $$$ for community and events leads: - @AnthropicAI: Events Lead - $320k - @Substack: Events Lead - $190k - @VaynerMedia: Head of Experiential - $250k - @Spotify: Global Experiential & Content - $175k - @BiltRewards: Director of Events & Experiences - $150k Investors are pouring billions of dollars into AI. But smart money is quietly deploying millions into IRL at the same time. a16z backs both OpenAI and Partiful. ElevenLabs and Substack. The nuance is - it's not AI vs. IRL. It's that the more we live online, the more premium real-life connection becomes. They're not competing investments. They're a hedge on each other.

One ID for every live moment. 🪪 Rhuna’s Universal Entertainment Pass unifies access, proof-of-age, payments & rewards. This means you can check-in across events, and keep everything in one place. Check back in tomorrow for an in-depth article about the Universal Pass.

Everyone talks about the $300B stablecoin market. Entertainment is one of the largest global capital flows, yet settlement is still fragmented, delayed, and expensive. The untapped opportunity is building stablecoin-native rails for live events at global scale.🫡
