Stablecoin issuer Tether is widening its bets on agentic finance: it led a $15M Series A in Mural, a New York infrastructure company founded by former Palantir engineers.

North Island Ventures and existing investors also joined the round. The raise lifts Mural's total funding to $28M.

Mural gives fintechs and platforms one stack for accounts, payments, identity checks and compliance across bank networks and blockchains. Customers include payroll platform Deel and browser maker Opera.

For AI agents, the product lets companies set transaction limits, restrict counterparties and require extra approvals on larger payments. That targets the open question of who authorizes and answers for money moved by autonomous software.
