Marble, a new institutional capital markets firm, officially launched on November 10, 2026. The company secured $11 million in a seed funding round led by Polychain Capital. Other participants included Maven 11, Ripple, Susquehanna Crypto, Lattice, Blockwall Ventures, and several angel investors focused on the AI sector.
The firm is led by co-CEOs, including Matt Ballensweig, who previously held the position of Global Head of Trading at BitGo. The company operates through two primary divisions: Marble Compute and Marble Markets. Marble Compute aims to develop private credit infrastructure for AI, connecting lenders with GPU operators and neocloud providers.
Marble Markets will provide a platform for trading digital assets, real-world assets, prediction markets, and computing capacity. The company plans to begin its initial product rollouts in early 2027, with digital asset trading scheduled to commence in January 2027. The raised capital will support team expansion and the development of trading and custody systems.
