Cluster Protocol develops Web3 infrastructure and an AI-driven, browser-native EVM development environment called CodeXero that translates natural-language requirements into smart contracts, DeFi logic, and token economic models. CodeXero runs on Cluster’s self-developed decentralized computing power and an AI engine trained on over 200 audited contract paradigms. The company reports that CodeXero has connected to over 300,000 wallets, processed more than 3 billion AI token calls, and deployed over 25,000 dApps. Following the $5 million raise led by DAO5, Cluster’s total funding stands at $7.75 million. Cluster plans to use the new capital to accelerate CodeXero’s development, expand its engineering team, strengthen AI workflows, and grow ecosystem partnerships.

Utexo is developing a Bitcoin-native execution and settlement layer that lets payment operators process USDT stablecoin transactions instantly with predictable costs and privacy. Its API and SDK combine the Lightning Network’s real-time transaction capability with RGB’s privacy-preserving asset issuance to remove the technical complexities of routing stablecoin payments on Bitcoin rails. 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.

Flying Tulip’s core product is ftUSD, a delta-neutral stablecoin designed to maintain stability through on-chain mechanisms that let holders redeem tokens for their original contribution (e.g., ETH) at any time. All Flying Tulip (FT) tokens are sold at $0.10 with a capped fully-diluted valuation of $1 billion, and the token structure includes a perpetual put that enables continuous liquidity for investors. The project has attracted significant demand, garnering soft commitments of roughly $1.6 billion even though it expects to accept only about $400 million in upcoming whitelist rounds. In October, Flying Tulip closed a $200 million seed round, and its recent raises have lifted total funding to $225 million. The team has already collected $25.5 million in a Series A token round and $50 million through Impossible Finance’s Curated platform, and it has earmarked another $200 million allocation for an upcoming CoinList sale. Management plans additional whitelist rounds to reach a combined $1 billion target raise. With billions of dollars of interest already logged on Impossible Finance and CoinList, the fundraising is likely to be oversubscribed, underscoring strong market appetite for the ftUSD model.
