Chain abstraction stablecoin system River (ex Satoshi Protocol) raised $12M in a Strategic funding round from Tron Foundation, Justin Sun, Maelstrom, The Spartan Group.

River is building a chain-abstraction stablecoin system that unifies assets, liquidity, and yield across multiple blockchains. Powered by its omni-chain CDP-based stablecoin, satUSD, users can collateralize assets on one chain and mint on another—unlocking native earning, leveraging, and scaling capabilities. River also offers full-reserve Bitcoin services, including custody, instant transfers, and zero-fee recurring purchases. With a focus on transparency, security, and cross-chain operability, River aims to streamline both Bitcoin and stablecoin infrastructure for users and developers alike.
