Big money made some interesting moves Here are some VC investments that caught my eye this week.🧵

1. @beam_cash Beam previously raised $7M from investors including @CastleIslandVC, @BanklessVC, @arca, and @VerdaVentures They just got acquired by @ModernTreasury in a $40M deal.

Beam is a stablecoin-based payments platform built to make global money movement faster, cheaper, and smarter. With Beam, individuals and businesses can send and receive money through both traditional banking systems and blockchain-based stablecoins. Think of it as a hybrid model that connects TradFi and crypto.

2. @clankeronbase: They just got acquired by @farcaster_xyz It is basically a launchpad that enables quick, self-service token creation. All a user has to do is tag Clanker on a Farcaster client like Warpcast or Supercast and describe the token concept. The thesis here is simple: Base is coming, and using Base apps is a sure way of positioning. Using Clanker is a no-brainer.

3. @senpi_ai Senpi is an on-chain AI assistant and crypto wallet on the Base blockchain. They raised $4M in seed with notable players like @Lemniscap, @Auros_global, and @primalcap. The most notable player is the @cbventures ecosystem fund. I think Senpi drop is one piece of the pie, this looks like a good way to get some base exposure as well.

4. @kinetiq_xyz This is the number one liquid staking protocol on Hyperliquid. They just concluded a seed round where they raised $1.75M from @Maven11Capital and @alpen Other Notable Angels are @DeFi_Dad and @Nomaticcap

With Kinetiq, you stake your HYPE and get KHYPE, which can then be used as you deem fit. It is one of the sought-after protocols on the HyperEVM. From a positioning lens, their S1 has been completed but this is an integral part of your HyperEVM journey
