Top Insights
Fintech capital is tightening around infrastructure. This week’s checks backed compliance automation, AI orchestration layers, treasury systems, and stablecoin rails built for real-world deployment.
The pattern is clear. Investors want platforms that reduce operational friction inside regulated environments. Less experimentation. More execution.
The Big Five
Sphinx
$7.1M Seed (United Kingdom / Global)
Sphinx raised $7.1 million in a seed round led by Cherry Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator, Rebel Fund, Deel Ventures, and Singularity Capital.
The company builds browser-native AI compliance agents that operate directly inside banks’ existing systems, handling AML, KYC, and KYB workflows while generating regulator-ready audit trails.
The thesis is direct: compliance teams spend billions on manual review. Sphinx is positioning AI agents as the last compliance hire institutions will ever need.

$25M Series B (United States)
Uptiq secured $25 million in Series B funding led by Curql, with participation from Broadridge, Green Visor Capital, Silverton Partners, and others.

$17M Series A (Brazil)
Brazilian paytech Avenia closed a $17 million Series A round backed by Quona, Headline, Big Bets, Fluent Ventures, and others.
