Nodu, a stablecoin infrastructure startup aiming to make digital assets work within traditional finance, has closed a $1.45 million pre-seed round led by Digital Space Ventures.

Nodu’s long-term vision is to connect over 170 countries into one seamless payment network, where stablecoins act as the universal bridge between currencies, systems, and economies.

It provides banks, FinTechs and businesses with a ready-to-use global compliance and payments framework for stablecoins, allowing them to launch services without building their own infrastructure.

Clients can send, receive, and hold stablecoins as easily as traditional money, all while compliance and reporting happen automatically in the background. The platform merges fiat and crypto rails into one regulated flow, linking European institutions with worldwide payment and blockchain networks.
