Only a few months from seed to Series A, the pace is full throttle

Catena Labs announces the completion of a $30 million Series A funding round, led by Acrew Capital and a16z crypto, with participation from Breyer Capital, General Catalyst, and QED. The valuation was not disclosed. Its tool supports AI agents to securely execute financial transactions, and the platform is invitation-only, allowing users to set rules such as spending limits, payee and account fund caps. The company is applying for a New York State Trust Bank license from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to regulate payment processing and client fund custody. Previously, in 2025, it completed an $18 million seed round led by a16z crypto.
