Multiliquid has completed a seed round led by Polychain, raising a total of $8 million.

Los Angeles, October 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Uniform Labs, the developer of Multiliquid, today announced the completion of a seed round led by Polychain, with participation from Strobe Ventures, CMT Digital, Metalayer Ventures, Generative Ventures, and Circle Ventures, bringing Multiliquid’s total funding to $8 million.

The company stated that tokenized assets—from U.S. Treasuries and money market funds to private credit and other real-world assets—represent the fastest-growing frontier in institutional digital finance. However, market adoption remains constrained by traditional primary subscription and redemption cycles, which can take several days to settle. The company said that, under federal stablecoin frameworks such as the GENIUS Act, which prohibit payment stablecoin issuers from directly paying yields to holders, institutions require programmable infrastructure to enable round-the-clock, large-scale rotation between yield-bearing tokenized investments and transactional stablecoins without burdening their balance sheets.

Multiliquid claims it provides exactly this type of infrastructure. The company states that Multiliquid is a neutral, compliance-first liquidity layer that enables holders to exchange between blue-chip tokenized assets and stablecoins in a single atomic transaction. The protocol supports tokenized funds from leading asset management firms, including Wellington Management, VanEck, Janus Henderson, and Fasanara, as well as major stablecoins such as USDC.

Will Beeson, founder and CEO of Multiliquid, said: “Tokenization only makes sense when assets are truly liquid. Traditional capital markets rely on deep repurchase instruments and overnight lending to maintain liquidity. On-chain finance requires the same institutional-grade infrastructure. The lead investment by Polychain, alongside participation from Strobe Ventures, CMT Digital, Metalayer Ventures, Generative Ventures, and Circle Ventures, validates our belief that liquidity and continuous settlement will be the next layer of infrastructure for institutional adoption.”

Polychain founder Olaf Carlson-Wee said: “Tokenized assets have begun to attract attention, but liquidity remains a bottleneck. Multiliquid is building the connective layer that enables institutions to seamlessly switch between tokenized funds and stablecoins across different issuers and platforms. Will’s deep experience in this market is unmatched, and we’re excited to support this groundbreaking project.”
