1 interview on Crypto Coin Show
Ground is a San Francisco company that describes itself as the money infrastructure company and a cash management platform for stablecoins.
It provides an API that lets banks, neobanks, exchanges, wealth managers and asset managers embed onchain yield and asset management into their existing products. The API plugs into existing interfaces and ledgers, and clients can configure yield strategies to their own risk and liquidity requirements. Ground launched publicly on June 24, 2026, alongside a $3.6 million pre-seed round co-led by Bain Capital Crypto and ParaFi.
Its platform initially connected to lending and structured-credit protocols including Aave, Morpho, Maple and Kamino across Ethereum, Solana and Layer 2 networks. In July 2026 it added tokenized real-world assets, such as tokenized T-bill funds and credit strategies, to the same API. The company was co-founded by Reid Cuming as CEO and Sam Yoon as CTO.
