GAIB, a platform that turns GPU compute power into tradable onchain assets, announced today that it has landed a $10 million strategic investment.
The round was led by Amber Group, a leading global digital asset firm, with support from several Asia‑based investors. Funds will flow directly into tokenised GPU holdings on GAIB’s network to boost institutional involvement in the AI compute sector.
Backing from Amber Group and Asia Investors
Amber Group took the lead in the financing, bringing its deep experience in digital markets to the partnership. Other investors from across Asia also joined the round, signalling strong regional confidence in GAIB’s model.
By allocating capital to GPU tokens, GAIB aims to open up AI compute yields to a broader pool of investors. This funding round underscores a wider trend of professional money moving into AI infrastructure via blockchain channels.
As artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency and traditional finance draw closer together, GAIB and its backers are creating pathways for everyday investors to tap into AI‑driven returns.
The idea is simple, and that is more funds onchain power more GPU capacity, which in turn generates yield for participants.
GAIB CEO Highlights the Vision
“Compute is the new oil. It should be open, efficient and exchangeable onchain,” said Kony, GAIB’s CEO and co‑founder.
Kony added that Amber Group’s commitment marks “the start of institutional support for the economic bedrock of the AI age.” His comment reflects GAIB’s view that tokenised compute assets can reshape how the AI industry is funded.
Amber International’s Perspective
Wayne Huo, CEO and Director of Amber International (Nasdaq: AMBR), the Nasdaq‑listed arm of Amber Group, said that the investment in GAIB shows his firm’s belief in a future where AI, blockchain and markets converge.
“We are excited to supply the capital needed to grow onchain compute infrastructure and foster an inclusive AI economy,” Huo noted.

GAIB’s 2025 Milestones
GAIB has already recorded good growth so far this year. Its AID Alpha vaults have garnered $28 million in deposits. The platform also announced new integrations with a number of DeFi protocols, enabling users to use AI synthetic dollars for yield strategies.
These moves indicate GAIB’s advancement in developing financial rails for future autonomous digital economies.
Litheum’s $750K Raise for TestNet
In related news, Litheum, a next‑generation Layer 1 blockchain, raised $750,000 in a strategic funding round to aid its forthcoming TestNet launch.
The seed round was brought about by Alphemy Capital and additionally had participation from Amber Group. Litheum aims to utilise the capital to complete its network code, enhance developer tools and bring on board test participants before its public network launch.
Why These Rounds Matter?
Combined, these investments reflect increased interest in the infrastructure supporting AI services and blockchain networks.
Tokenised compute assets offer direct exposure to GPU supply and AI returns. In the meantime, Litheum’s new capital will enable it to compete as a high-performing Layer 1 chain.
Both projects are working with the same theme, that is, constructing open, programmable systems where capital and compute resources move freely onchain.
GAIB will invest its new funds in issuing additional GPU-backed tokens and strengthening institutional alliances. Litheum will concentrate on getting its TestNet out to developers and validators.
