• Derivio

  Participated · Equity · Mar 2026

  Derivio builds a full-stack trading terminal optimized for AI-driven or "agentic" trading, combining a high-speed data engine that ingests on-chain signals and market ticks with optimized execution routing and physical node placement. The platform emphasizes non-custodial operation, advanced risk-management features, a universal margin system for multi-asset collateral, and planned Liquidity-as-a-Service (LaaS) market-neutral setups. Derivio’s interface includes an "Agent" section (reported as "coming soon") that will let users deploy AI agents to monitor markets and execute strategies autonomously. The company aims to expand asset and chain coverage and improve capital efficiency for traders and liquidity providers. Following a $6 million financing round in March 2026, Derivio plans to accelerate development of its agentic infrastructure, data engine, and user-facing features to bring its AI-native workflows to market.

• Utexo

  Utexo is developing a Bitcoin-native execution and settlement layer that lets payment operators process USDT stablecoin transactions instantly with predictable costs and privacy.

By abstracting custody, compliance workflows, and user-experience changes, the platform enables operators to integrate Bitcoin-based settlement without rebuilding their systems. Led by Viktor Ihnatiuk and Chris Hutchinson, the company positions itself as critical infrastructure for stablecoin payment providers seeking speed and discretion. The freshly raised capital will be directed toward expanding operations and accelerating product development. No revenue, user, or other operating metrics were disclosed in the article.

• Bulk Trade

  Participated · Seed · Jan 2026

  Bulk Trade is developing a Solana-based perpetual decentralized exchange that embeds its order-matching engine directly in validator nodes. Built on Bulk-Agave, a fork of the Jito-agave Solana validator client, the platform adds a Bulk Tile plugin that handles order matching and liquidations in parallel to normal validation. Orders are split into eight shards, propagated via UDP, and matched on a fixed 20-millisecond "matching tick," achieving latency comparable to centralized exchanges while preventing front-running. The CLOB supports USDC-margined perpetual contracts, offers gas-free order placement through APIs and CCXT, includes self-trade prevention, and settles trades on-chain after a 25-40 ms economic confirmation. Delphi Digital notes Bulk refreshes every 20 ms versus the 400 ms typical on Solana DEXs, ensuring displayed liquidity is fully executable until explicitly cancelled. Validators can run Bulk without forfeiting Jito MEV revenue and earn additional fees from order flow, aligning incentives across the ecosystem. The product is currently in closed beta with a public testnet expected to launch soon.
