Summary

Reflect Money raised $3.75 million in a seed round led by a16z crypto's CSX accelerator, with participation from Solana Ventures, Equilibrium, BigBrain Holdings, and Colosseum. The funds will support the development of Reflect's 'software-as-a-stablecoin' infrastructure, enabling decentralized apps to issue yield-bearing dollars without capital lockups. Reflect's protocol tokenizes DeFi strategies, converting USDC into the yield-bearing 'USDC+' with full liquidity, under a non-custodial mint/redeem model. The mainnet for USDC+ is set to launch in early September 2025, initially supporting USDC on Solana.
