Airwallex has announced a strategic investment in Metal, co-leading its seed round alongside Capital49, a venture capital fund founded by Airwallex's team. This move aligns with Airwallex's recent $320 million Series H financing, which values the company at $11 billion. The investment aims to integrate stablecoins, tokenized assets, and AI Agents into enterprise financial systems, leveraging Airwallex's extensive licenses, local payment networks, and API infrastructure. Metal, defining itself as a tokenized financial product infrastructure, seeks to provide a compliant settlement network for stablecoins and other tokenized financial products. This partnership will enable Metal to utilize Airwallex's global payment network, covering 200 countries and 90 currencies, to bridge on-chain assets with real-world financial systems. Airwallex's investment underscores its commitment to developing next-generation financial software that supports agent commerce and global infrastructure expansion.
