Hivemind

Today, our group company Hivemind Digital Group is announcing the completion of $17M in strategic funding, led by M&G Investments, with participation from CPIC Investment Management (H.K.) Company Ltd., ZA Bank, @FalconXGlobal, and Sonic Boom Ventures, alongside board members and senior executives at leading financial institutions.

We are pleased to welcome Alex Seddon, Head of Impact and Private Equity at M&G Investments, to our Board of Directors.

Our thesis has been consistent since day one, and becomes even more clear today. Blockchain and the broader frontier technology are increasingly becoming a new form of financial asset, and having a profound impact on reshaping financial service infrastructure. Investors should be able to access these new financial primitives with institutional-grade transparency and governance.

This milestone accelerates the infrastructure build-out that makes it possible, and we are excited to be at the forefront of the grand financialization of frontier technology.

Our Partner and Head of Asia, Stanley Huo, spoke at @HongKongFinTech on “Collectibles Are the New Social Currency,” alongside Winchman Li (Renaiss) and Ray Chan (MemeStrategy), moderated by Ben Berenson (Asia SGE).

The discussion covered verified ownership, collector participation and where finance helps or hurts collecting. Stanley’s view: on-chain, signals of taste and status become verifiable, and the best works let collectors take part in the art, not just own it.

Thank you to everyone who joined.

Current state of agentic commerce:

In our latest research, Senior Investment Principal @kay_phillips_ goes beyond the headlines, exploring the progress made in Agentic Commerce over the past 18 months since the first wave of products were announced in this space.

The piece looks past the launch headlines at how the market is actually developing: where value is accruing across a six-layer stack, how AI and payments leaders are expanding toward each other and the strategies they are using to compete, and which use cases (B2C, M2M, and B2B) are furthest along and hold the most whitespace opportunity for new entrants.
