Genius AI is bringing intelligence to the physical economy, where some of the most valuable and human work in our daily lives takes place. Since Day 1, we have been obsessed with helping talented practitioners do what only they can do as technology takes on the repetitive tasks. We’re excited to share that we raised a Series D at a $1.15B valuation to accelerate our vision. We are also announcing a new brand, Genius AI, as our platform and customer footprint have evolved. Alongside our core flagship GlossGenius product, we’re releasing products that run more of the admin work on their own, so business owners can finally do what they dreamed of. To the 125,000 businesses who have trusted us to save them 112M hours of admin work and earn billions of dollars in extra revenue already, thank you for your partnership. Our work is just beginning as we make your most repetitive workflows disappear. Grateful for our investors, including @Lux_Capital that led the round with participation from @BessemerVP @ImaginaryFund @2048vc @L_Catterton and @StepStoneVC . Here’s a note from our founders @DCohenShohet @Leahcs with more detail below ⬇️

@trygenius_ai Congrats @DCohenShohet and @Leahcs 🙌🏻💜

@cognition @generalcatalyst @Lux_Capital @8vc Amazing — congratulations @ScottWu46 and team!

1/ We’ve raised over $1B at a $26B valuation, led by @Lux_Capital, @generalcatalyst, and @8vc. Our enterprise usage has grown >10x since the start of this year, and our run-rate revenue grew to $492 M. We launched Devin two years ago as the first AI software engineer. Since then, cloud agents have gone from niche to mainstream, and today they are the fastest growing way to create software.

@alexatallah Congratulations 🙌🏻

We're seeing a Cambrian explosion of AI models, and it's happening on OpenRouter. The future of AI is neurodiversity: - Agents choosing the most cost-effective model/provider/tool for the task - Agents orchestrating multiple models for the smartest result - Advanced security and observability for the boundary between models Thanks to @CapitalG, @a16z, @MenloVentures, @nvidia, and our other backers. More on our Series B 👇

When Native Markets secured the right to deploy USDH eight months ago, we had a simple thesis: people care about stablecoins that deliver value to the networks and their users. Today, we see a validation of that thesis with Coinbase deploying native USDC as an AQA that shares the vast majority of its reserve yield. This transition to Coinbase immediately activates yield on nearly $5B worth of stablecoins and aligns Hyperliquid with one of crypto’s strongest policy advocates. I'm proud of what @fiege_max and our entire team have built to date — designing the Open Issuance product alongside the Bridge team, building an exceptional onramp with USDH.com, and beyond. To those that supported USDH, thank you for your vote of confidence. There’s more to come, stay tuned.

Best on-ramp available at the moment

Initiated the transfer from USDH.com 19:48 and received it in my @IBKR USD account at 20:37. Zero fees. Less than 60mins to clear. (probably faster for banking hours) With named payouts allowing you to receive transfers in your name, this makes @nativemarkets one of the best on/off ramp in crypto. Prior to this, I had to route stables to off-ramp entities wait for T+1 to receive it in a bank then wait for another T+1/2 to get stables over to IBKR with fees. Now you can do it at 0 fee from HL<> IBKR with USDH<>USD

USDH has reached an all-time high of $100M supply on Hyperliquid.

This morning we launched our zero-fee on & offramp. Users can now go directly from their bank or brokerage to Hyperliquid. No need for a centralized exchange. Try it out at dashboard.usdh.com

Absolutely incredible Finally good, reliant, zero fee on & offramp One of the biggest pain points just got solved

As an early beta tester for a few months, I can confidently say that Hyperliquid + Native Markets have obsoleted CEX’s for me. Hyperliquid provides the superior trading experience while NM gives me zero fee USDH <> USDC conversions + wire transfers to and from my bank.

Many have told me it would take a long time for a fiat onramp onto Hyperliquid to be built. It’s here now.

Depositing onto Liquid has been a very difficult process for many. Today's announcement by @nativemarkets is a big step towards fixing this! Working with @Mclader and team has been a delight, and I'm sure this will be incredible.

HIP-4 outcome contracts settle exclusively in USDH. Not USDC. Every prediction market on Hyperliquid becomes a structural demand driver for USDH. Moreover, PM capital on Hyperliquid doesn't sit idle. It cross-margins into perps. That incremental perp volume flows naturally into USDH quoted markets, where taker fees are 20% lower and maker rebates 50% higher. I'm expecting USDH supply to expand much faster once HIP-4 mainnet arrives.

@SamBroner 🙌🏻

@SamBroner Congrats!

Update: I left a16z. Official title now "stablecoin expert." More to come.

pmUSDH unlocks new ways to use USDH — more optionality for users ❤️‍🔥

@janklimo @edison0xyz @andyhyfi @androolloyd @nativemarkets submitted a pr to support 402 on Hyperliquid last month, waiting for CB to approve. We’d love to collab github.com/coinbase/x402/…

Calling all Hyperliquid buildooors! I'd appreciate any feedback on the HL x402 spec: gist.github.com/janklimo/ac7ef… Chads I know are active in this space: @edison0xyz, @andyhyfi, @androolloyd... who else?

the nonbelievers were holding on to the belief that stablecoins were a niche crypto trading phenomenon. and yet supply is currently hitting all time highs. stablecoins are unambiguously moving beyond trading and becoming core financial infrastructure.

Oil has become the momentum trade of choice on Hyperliquid, the crypto exchange fast emerging as a round-the-clock venue for leveraged commodity bets. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
