Alta, co-founded by Airwallex CEO Jack Zhang, announced $80M in total funding including a Series A led by Index Ventures, GV, Blackbird and Square Peg, with founders of Robinhood, Plaid, Canva and Atlassian among the angels.
Alta is building financial infrastructure for the tokenized and agentic era: letting software and AI agents move stablecoins under set rules. Its wedge is real bank connections that public crypto never had, with Airwallex as launch partner covering 200 countries. A heavyweight new entrant in agent payments.
