Augustus has raised US$180 million to develop a clearing bank designed for artificial intelligence and stablecoin transactions.

The company said its platform will support real-time settlement for businesses using stablecoins and AI-powered financial services.

"We're building the financial infrastructure for the AI and stablecoin era," Augustus said.

Augustus plans to provide payment, settlement and treasury services for companies operating in digital asset markets.

The funding will help Augustus expand its technology, hire staff and grow its regulatory capabilities.
