This is a defining moment for BXNK, for everyone who has helped build this company through long nights, hard won breakthroughs, and every version that came before this one, it is a moment of real pride and one we do not take for granted.

We could not be prouder to have Iona Star backing BXNK. They do not invest from a distance. They commit with conviction and roll up their sleeves. Their decision to stand behind us is a powerful endorsement of the vision we have held from the very start.

Iona Star is an early stage venture capital firm investing from pre-seed through Series A. It backs companies building the critical enabling layers of the AI era, from data pipelines and inference systems to payment rails and intelligence platforms. Sector agnostic but thesis driven, the firm partners actively with founders whose competitive moat is technological, data driven, or structural.

We started BXNK because moving money around the world is still far slower, more opaque, and more fragmented than it should be. Our answer is a single platform that connects fiat, payment and stablecoin rails, powered by two proprietary layers we built in-house: AtomEngine, which settles transactions in under three seconds with zero settlement risk, and AtomAI, the intelligence that optimises routing, timing, cost and compliance on every transaction. Most platforms route transactions. BXNK guarantees outcomes.

This raise is fuel. It lets us expand the corridors and rails we connect, deepen AtomEngine and AtomAI, grow the team, and accelerate everything we've been building toward. Just as importantly, it's a signal to the market, to our partners, and to the institutions we serve that BXNK is here to build for the long term.

For a long time, our belief that this infrastructure could be rebuilt was ours alone to carry. It isn't anymore. Having a partner of Iona Star's calibre in our corner changes what's possible, not only in capital, but in credibility, perspective, and ambition.

To everyone who has believed in BXNK before it was easy to, thank you. This milestone belongs to all of you. And to Iona Star, thank you for seeing it. We're only getting started.
