Startup launches AI system that unifies yield, trading seamlessly cross-chain over all major blockchains and exchanges. Backed by elite AI, crypto and fintech leaders, AIUSD has heavy investor interest in next round.

AIUSD, the world’s first Agentic AI Money Infrastructure, today announced its AI-powered trading and money-movement infrastructure. The platform’s AI agent has already experienced viral adoption during beta, amassing three million users; and the algorithm behind the platform’s yield generation product has one trillion dollars in annualized trading volume over the past two and a half years. The company behind the product, Generative Alpha, also confirmed it has completed a nearly eight-figure pre-seed financing round, backed by top Silicon Valley investors, with strong inbound demand ahead of its next raise.

AIUSD introduces a specialized financial AI that can trade, route, and manage assets with a unified balance across all major blockchains, exchanges and stablecoins, enabling both consumers and AI agents to “talk to their money” and execute complex actions through simple prompts.

“Agentic AI needs its own native money, allowing Agents to use money as a tool/function call for autonomous actions,” said Bill Sun, co-founder of AIUSD. “We are building a high speed roadway on top of the bumpy and fragmented legacy blockchain infrastructure and traditional financial brokerage APIs, making moving money across platforms and complex trading execution as easy as a function call for AI Agents.”

“At AIUSD, we’re building a unified AI money layer that makes blockchain and tokenized assets natively interoperable. This gives users and agents one balance that works seamlessly across chains, exchanges, and brokerages. Our mission is simple: one AI to rule them all,” said Yao Meng, co-founder of AIUSD.

A New Class of Money for AI Agents

AIUSD has built the first Agentic AI Money Infrastructure, making assets universally interoperable across chains and platforms. Users can move money between assets, or trade derivative contracts with unified balance, while AI agents run strategies autonomously on their behalf.

The balance also generates consistent yield when idle. The yield is generated by their own algorithmic trading strategies. This algorithmic trading strategy trades on one trillion dollars in annualized trading volume, with zero monthly drawdowns during the last two and a half years.

“Decades ago, wealthy investors relied on a human wealth manager to stitch together trades across multiple brokerages in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and China - and to quietly put idle balances to work,” said Yao Meng. “Today, billions of people can simply talk to their AI agent. That agent can execute sophisticated strategies on the AIUSD Agentic Money Infrastructure across both tokenized and traditional financial assets.”

Backed by Leading Silicon Valley & Global Investors

AIUSD’s pre-seed financing was supported by a set of institutional and strategic investors including early VC backers of Anthropic, Perplexity, TradingView, Sequoia’s US Scout Fund, and a16z’s Scout Fund, and Tesla FSD AI leadership. Prominent individual investors, including William Freiberg (Crux), Charles Ferguson, Zayd Enam, Tim Shi (Cresta AI), Brad Bao (Lime), are participating as investors along with two billion-dollar PE funds.

“AI-native money is inevitable,” said William Freiberg, CEO of Crux and an investor in AIUSD. “What the team has built isn’t just another trading platform - it’s foundational infrastructure. AIUSD is unifying fragmented blockchains and exchanges into a single intelligent system, and that unlocks an entirely new category of autonomous financial applications.”

Leadership & Technical Foundation

AIUSD’s founding and leadership team blends deep AI research, institutional-grade quantitative trading, and large-scale blockchain engineering expertise, including:

• Bill Sun, Stanford Math PhD; former PM/researcher at Millennium WorldQuant, Citadel, Point72 Cubist; former DeepMind AI researcher participated in transformer discovery; Co-founder and Chief scientist at PIN AI.
• Yao Meng, Founder of a trillion dollar volume crypto HFT Market Maker, serving 7 out of 10 largest exchanges worldwide, large-scale Arbitrage and Market Making from scratch.

Together, their combined experience - spanning early-era crypto infrastructure, cutting-edge AI modeling, and institutional-grade trading systems - has given them a reputation for building technology that works reliably at global scale.

Their engineering team includes alumni from top quantitative trading firms, Binance, Bloomberg, autonomous driving AI groups, and leading universities such as Stanford and CMU. William Freiberg, CEO of Crux - a financial data company serving Goldman Sachs and Two Sigma - is also on their board.
