Atum Raises $14M to Launch Open Payments Network for Global Money Movement

Atum: Atum operates as a coordination layer for global payments, linking payment companies, developers, and enterprises through an open network. It facilitates money movement across stablecoins and various rails without issuing assets, running blockchains, or holding customer funds. The company recently emerged from stealth to launch this network, enabling authorization, routing, and settlement for both traditional and agentic payments. Infrastructure: Atum functions as an open-loop coordination layer that handles payment authorization, quote selection from competing settlement providers, and delivery confirmation across supported chains and stablecoins. Agentic Support: The network enables payments for both humans and AI agents via protocols such as x402 and MPP.
