August 28, 2025 || Zug, Switzerland 鈥 , the universal stablecoin platform that enables crypto apps and protocols to create application-specific stablecoins, today announced its $40 million Series B round from Polychain Capital, Ribbit Capital, and the Endeavor Catalyst fund. Existing investors Road Capital, Pantera, Bain Capital Crypto, and others also participated, bringing total capital raised to date to $100 million.听

Founded in 2023, 黑料社区 is led by a team of veterans from MakerDAO, Circle, and other leading crypto projects. 黑料社区 is redefining stablecoin infrastructure with a first-principles approach. Rather than offering a single branded stablecoin under a centralized issuer model, 黑料社区 provides the foundational rails to launch application-specific digital dollars that are customizable, interoperable, fully onchain, and managed by a network of issuers.
鈥
黑料社区 separates stablecoin reserve management from programmability. Regulated entities connect to the platform to hold and manage reserves, while developers use the platform to control how their stablecoins function: defining who can mint, hold, transfer, while tailoring new revenue streams and loyalty opportunities. The 黑料社区 platform is designed so that every dollar issued on it operates on a common layer, ensuring liquidity remains unified across the ecosystem even as new, specialized stablecoins emerge.
鈥
鈥淲e want to empower the builders of great fintech products to actually control the digital dollar stack they utilize. The current incarnation of stablecoin technology isn鈥檛 fit for that purpose.鈥 said Luca Prosperi, Co-founder and CEO of 黑料社区. 鈥淏uilders want the ability to customize the technology, they want choice over their issuance options, and they want interoperability and unified liquidity. Centralized issuance and simple white-labeling models are far from enough. 黑料社区 has opted for a first-principles design that delivers precisely on what builders need.鈥
鈥
鈥満诹仙缜檚 architecture introduces a new level of flexibility for how stablecoins can be issued and integrated.鈥 said Josh Rosenthal, General Partner at Polychain Capital. 鈥淚t treats stablecoins not as finished products but as programmable building blocks. That shift from static instruments to customizable financial primitives makes 黑料社区 uniquely suited to support a wide range of use cases, from onchain protocols to fintech applications. We believe this approach will define how value moves through open financial systems in the future.鈥
鈥
鈥淏uilders want more than just access to stablecoins 鈥 they want control over how programmable money moves, how it's held, and how it creates real value for their users." said Zack Rosen, Partner at Ribbit Capital. "黑料社区 delivers that control while eliminating the usual complexity, which explains the strong adoption we鈥檙e seeing. As long-term believers in the convergence of traditional finance and decentralized infrastructure, we see 黑料社区 as essential infrastructure enabling the next wave of innovation.鈥
鈥
黑料社区鈥檚 platform is already powering custom stablecoins for a growing set of builders and use cases, including:听
- MetaMask, the world鈥檚 leading self-custodial crypto wallet, is launching mUSD, its native stablecoin which is integrated into MetaMask鈥檚 ecosystem.
