SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GAIB, the economic layer for AI and compute, today announced a $10M USD strategic investment, led by leading global digital asset company Amber Group, with participation from other Asia-based investors. The investment will be deployed directly into tokenized GPU assets on GAIB’s platform, strengthening institutional participation in the AI compute economy.
This round reflects the growing flow of institutional capital into AI infrastructure through onchain financial rails. As the AI, crypto, and capital markets converge, GAIB and its strategic backers—including Amber Group—are unlocking direct access to AI yields for everyday investors. By bringing more compute assets onchain, this investment fuels a virtuous cycle where more capital powers more infrastructure, and more participants benefit from the growth of the AI economy.
“Compute is the new oil. As such, it should be accessible, productive, and tradable onchain,” said Kony, CEO and co-founder of GAIB. “Amber’s investment signals the beginning of institutional capital actively backing the economic backbone of the AI era.”
Wayne Huo, CEO and Director of Amber International （Nasdaq: AMBR), the Nasdaq-listed subsidiary of Amber Group, said, “The investment in GAIB reflects our belief in a future where AI, blockchain and capital markets converge to redefine opportunities. By powering the next wave of onchain compute infrastructure, we’re excited to fuel growth with the capital needed to enhance the infrastructure and build an inclusive AI economy for all.”
The investment amplifies GAIB’s 2025 growth thus far, including $28M in deposits across AID Alpha vaults and new integrations with DeFi protocols. As AI and crypto rails converge, GAIB is building the financial infrastructure to support the next generation of autonomous economies. For more information, visit aid.gaib.ai
