USD.AI Secures $13M Series A to Pioneer GPU-Backed Stablecoin Lending for AI Firms
Framework Ventures-led funding positions USD.AI to disrupt traditional lending models by using GPU collateral for rapid AI industry financing. The protocol's dual-token system (USDai and sUSDai) merges stablecoin reliability with compute asset yields.
"We treat GPUs like commodities," CEO David Choi declared, highlighting the 90% faster approval times compared to conventional lenders. The $50 million private beta traction signals strong market demand ahead of a public launch featuring an innovative game-based allocation model.
Vance Spencer of Framework Ventures drew parallels to historical commodity booms, suggesting USD.AI could democratize access to AI growth capital. This convergence of stablecoin infrastructure and AI hardware financing creates a novel DeFi primitive at the intersection of two transformative technologies.
