About
Catena Labs is building the first AI-native financial institution, purpose-built for the emerging agent economy. Co-founded by Sean Neville (co-founder of Circle and inventor of USDC) and CTO Matt Venables, the company addresses the gap between rapidly evolving AI capabilities and legacy financial infrastructure. Catena is developing regulated stablecoins, secure agent identity verification (via DID/JWKS protocols), and financial services that allow AI agents to transact safely and compliantly. The company emerged from stealth in May 2025 with an $18M seed round led by a16z crypto.
