Good Morning,

Here's a quick preview of today’s content: Crypto holders urged to bunker against AI attacks, Greece plans 10% crypto tax, Securitize launches tokenized stocks, Crypto investment firm Deus X shuts down, Netflix drops trailer for series based on FTX, and so much more

Curious how we source the VC section every morning? It's powered by Fundable. What we like it for crypto: half these rounds break somewhere you'd never think to look, an Italian business paper, a token sale that goes live on X before it reaches the feeds you check. Fundable reads all of it and pulls it into one place, so the digging is already done by the time you go looking. tryfundable.ai

Friday’s here – Let’s dive in.

The round is already public. Just not on the feed you check.

A crypto raise is almost always public before it reaches the feeds you check. The catch is where. Sometimes it's a business paper in another language. Sometimes it's a token sale that goes live on X. Fundable reads all of it.

Sometimes the round breaks in another language. Young Platform, one of Italy's crypto exchanges, pulled in a €22.5M round led by the asset-management group Azimut. It ran across the Italian business press, Milano Finanza and StartupItalia, and barely registered in US crypto feeds. Fundable had it as a deal the day it broke.

Sometimes the raise isn't a press release, it's a token sale on-chain. Credible, a Solana payments startup backed by Circle and Colosseum, opened a community raise on MetaDAO, announced in a post on X and reshared by Solana. It pulled in over $32M of commitments against a $4M cap, more than 10x oversubscribed. The whole thing ran in crypto-native channels, not the mainstream outlets most people check. Fundable logged it as a deal the day it posted.

Different languages, different corners of the internet, same result: Fundable reads thousands of sources across every region and pulls them into one place as real-time data. You see the round the hour it breaks, flowing straight into your sourcing or outbound workflow via API, MCP, or the site.
