Stablecoin settlement infrastructure just got a major boost. Augustus raised $180 million in a Series B at a $1 billion valuation, led by Tiger Global, with participation from Circle co-founder Sean Neville and former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan. The company has received conditional approval for a U.S. OCC national bank charter, with Kraken among its clients. Unlike stablecoin issuers, Augustus doesn't issue stablecoins — it provides a clearing and settlement bridge between stablecoins and fiat through its federally chartered bank, positioning itself as the "correspondent bank for the stablecoin era."
