Today, we're thrilled to announce a strategic investment from Founders Fund.

‍

Founded by Peter Thiel, founder and former CEO of PayPal, Founders Fund has been one of the most influential investors in fintech and payments over the past two decades. Their portfolio includes early investments in Stripe, Nubank, Ramp, and Affirm, teams that redefined how money moves globally. Few firms have backed more category-defining companies at the intersection of finance and technology.

‍

Stablecoins are the most important innovation in money since the advent of the internet. But existing infrastructure was never built for this use case. Our goal is to build purpose-built infrastructure from the ground up, designed specifically for the next generation of money movement. This investment marks a major milestone in our mission to take stablecoins beyond crypto-native use cases and into the real world, powering efficient, low-cost, programmable payments at a global scale.

‍

Peter Thiel was one of Plasma’s earliest angel investors. He saw the potential of stablecoins from the start, and we’ve been fortunate to have his support since the beginning. We’re now proud to deepen that relationship and continue building with him and the exceptional team at Founders Fund.

‍

This investment will help us grow our team, expand our ecosystem, and accelerate adoption across key regions, from Latin America to the Middle East and beyond.

‍

Our commitment is simple: unlock the full potential of stablecoins and make them the backbone of a more efficient, open, and inclusive financial system.
