Super excited about this one!
We're excited to announce our partnership with Yuno. 🚀
Yuno, the AI-native intelligence system of global commerce, partnered with Cyclops to bring stablecoin payments and settlement to Yuno's financial institutions and merchants. This partnership enables Yuno’s customers to leverage stablecoin capabilities across settlement, payins, payouts and treasury use cases via the Cyclops platform, without building any new integrations.
Yuno and Cyclops share a mission — offer all the top global providers and capabilities via a single connection.

@NavaVenturesVC partner Kevin Chenault told @FortuneMagazine: "They've lived and breathed the problem in payments and understand the gaps where stablecoin technology and infrastructure can really innovate the way in which money is moved."

As second time founders, we were very picky about who we let invest. Everything we do at @Cyclops_inc is built for payments. That includes our handpicked investors.
I couldn't be more excited about this epic group of payments investors we brought on to fuel our next stage of growth. We're on our way to becoming the stablecoin backbone of the payments industry and having people like Kevin Chenault and Javier Perez is a dream come true for a payments business.
Thanks for everyone's support. We're just getting started.
We’re excited to announce our $20M Series A to build the stablecoin backbone for the payments industry.🚀
“I spent over 50 years building the rails of today’s payments. I’ve been looking for the opportunity to invest in the platform that will power the next 50. We’re betting on Cyclops to be that platform.” said Javier Perez, Founder & Managing Partner of Global PayTech Ventures.
Cyclops is the first and only platform allowing payments companies to plug into and orchestrate across all of the leading stablecoin providers at every level of the stack, in every corridor. With over 100 global licenses, and all the top solutions offered through a single API, Cyclops is the most redundant, agile and efficient offering in the market.
This round was led by @NavaVentures(Kevin Chenault) with participation from Global PayTech Ventures, @coinbase Ventures, @Circle Ventures, @CastleIslandVC, @FPrimeCapital, Lasagna and @openfx_.

AI agents are already making payments.
$73 million across 176 million transactions on blockchain rails in the last year alone.💰
98.6% of those payments settled in stablecoins.
Our latest blog breaks down what agentic commerce is and why stablecoins are emerging as the default payment layer for agents.🚀

Last week we officially opened the doors to Cyclops European HQ in Vienna and were lucky enough to celebrate it with the local payments and crypto community! 🇦🇹
The room was full of incredible people and the kind of energy that makes you even more excited about what you’re building.
Thank you to everyone who joined us! We’re just getting started. 🚀

Check out our breakdown of the five most definitive signals that stablecoins are moving into core payments infrastructure.
Regulatory frameworks passed, card networks operationalizing, billions spent on acquisitions and $27 trillion in on-chain volume moving annually. For payments companies thinking through their stablecoin strategy, these signals are hard to ignore.

Earlier this week we looked at five signs indicating that stablecoins have arrived in core payments infrastructure. Now, we're going a layer deeper — breaking down the specific problems each of our four core products solves and why payments companies that move now will be ahead of the ones that don't.
