Marble Launches with $11M Seed Round to Provide AI Infrastructure Financing and Frontier Market Trading
Marble has officially launched, securing an $11 million seed funding round led by Polychain Capital. The startup aims to address two major market gaps: providing institutional credit for the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure sector through 'Marble Compute' and establishing a multi-asset trading platform via 'Marble Markets.' The company is led by co-CEOs Matt Ballensweig and Leon Marshall, both former executives from BitGo and Galaxy Digital. Marble intends to connect institutional lenders with mid-market neoclouds and GPU operators who often lack access to traditional financing. By underwriting equipment and customer contracts, Marble seeks to create structured credit opportunities for the AI buildout while offering trading services across digital assets, real-world assets, and compute capacity.
