Tria, a pioneering crypto-focused neobank, has successfully closed $12 million in combined pre-seed and strategic funding rounds. The capital will be used to develop a global non-custodial banking platform designed for both individuals and AI agents.
Investors include P2 Ventures, Aptos, the Tria community, along with executives from Polygon, Ethereum Foundation, Wintermute, Sentient, and others. Polychain and Polygon also acted as advisors during the pre-seed round.
The Tria team emphasized that traditional neobanks like Revolut and Monzo simplified fiat finance, processing over $4 trillion in global transactions. Tria aims to do the same for crypto by enabling users to spend, trade, and earn from a single non-custodial account—without worrying about gas fees or seed phrases.
Seamless Payments and Trading
Tria supports instant, fee-free transactions, ranging from buying coffee in Tokyo to cross-chain token swaps. Its Visa cards are available in over 150 countries and support more than 1,000 tokens. Idle assets automatically generate income to cover card balances through Tria’s proprietary BestPath technology.
BestPath AVS: Decentralized Payment Marketplace
Tria’s BestPath AVS is a decentralized marketplace where solvers, routers, and relayers compete to optimize cross-chain transaction routing. The platform currently serves over 250,000 users and integrates with more than 70 protocols and AI ecosystems, including Polygon, Arbitrum, Sentient, and Injective.
Future of Finance
Tria highlights that stablecoins, real-world assets (RWA), and autonomous agents are reshaping the financial stack. On-chain transaction volume is projected to reach $100 trillion by 2030, yet 98% of users still interact with outdated UX. Tria positions itself as the missing link: a consumer-facing neobank on top and a programmable payments infrastructure on the bottom.
Founders Part Bhalla and Vijit Katta lead a team comprising alumni from Binance, Polygon, OpenSea, Nethermind, Intel, and other leading firms. Strategic investors also include government representatives and members of the UAE Royal Family, along with leaders from Ethereum Foundation, Polygon, and Wintermute.
Community-Centric Token Distribution
As part of its strategy, Tria plans a public token distribution round, allowing users to gain ownership in the neobank platform they use. Official details will be announced soon via Tria’s social channels on X and Linktree.
