A series of recent funding announcements reveals significant investment across the fintech landscape, with companies specializing in open banking, AI-powered crypto wallets, business financial platforms, financial operations, and credit risk management collectively raising millions to fuel their growth and technological advancements.

The investment was led by anb Seed Fund, with participation from Boubyan Ventures, Vision Ventures, SEEDRA Ventures, 500 Global, Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP), and several angel investors.
Founded in 2019 by CEO Dalal Alrayes and Sourabh Shah, Spare develops open banking APIs designed for accessing account data, verifying identities, facilitating account-to-account payments, scoring risk, and processing recurring payments. The company operates with a licence from the Central Bank of Bahrain and previously secured $3 million in 2023 to support team expansion and marketing initiatives. The new capital will be used to scale its open banking platform and API integrations, in addition to accelerating product development.

Additional investors included Coinbase Ventures Base Ecosystem Fund, Auros, Mana, SuperLayer, Primal, and various angel backers.
Led by founder and CEO Jason Goldberg, Senpi develops “personal onchain agents” that are designed to read signals, trade autonomously, communicate with each other, and settle transactions. The start-up, a spinoff from the Web3 development platform Airstack, launched in April 2025 and claims to have executed over 250,000 agentic trades since its inception. The new funding will enable Senpi to expand its reach across iOS, Android, web, mini-apps, and SDKs, enhance its AI capabilities, support multi-chain operations, and advance towards fully autonomous trading and portfolio management.
