Tether is putting real money behind a new term: agentic finance. Tether led a $15 million Series A in AI payments company Mural, with North Island Ventures and existing investors participating. Mural has raised $28 million to date.
Founded by former Palantir engineers, Mural counts Deel and Opera among its customers. It builds infrastructure for accounts, payments, identity verification, and compliance across banking networks and blockchains. The investment thesis is straightforward: let AI systems initiate and execute transactions on behalf of individuals or businesses—but keep them on a leash. Mural supports transaction limits, counterparty restrictions, and approval requirements for large payments. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has voiced his support.
It’s worth keeping an eye on this trend: the leading stablecoin company is investing in the infrastructure for things to buy.
