US CAN Startup Announces Strategic Investments in High-Growth North American Startups, Including AllScale.io

Money moves slow when the system was engineered to keep certain people waiting. That truth does not live in pitch decks. It shows up when freelancers in Lagos wait a week to get paid, when SMBs burn 7% just to move their own revenue, when "account reviews" quietly turn into exclusion policies. AllScale exists because Shawn Pang lived that friction firsthand, pushing nearly $500K a month in stablecoins through HashMatrix just to keep global business moving without asking permission.

AllScale launched in early 2025 with an idea that only sounds radical because the industry avoided it for so long. Let people hold their own money. No custody shell games. No seed phrase anxiety. No gas fee trivia. Just instant stablecoin settlement wrapped in a Web2 experience that does not punish you for being born outside the right banking ZIP code. Invoicing, payroll, social commerce, all designed for people running companies of one and companies of fifty across borders banks still pretend are walls.

The $5M Seed round led by YZi Labs, Informed Ventures, and Generative Ventures was not a bet on vibes. It was a bet on receipts. 150K+ users. $5M settled. Africa moving first because friction always screams loudest where infrastructure is weakest. David Yin called it access. Will Wang called it technical clarity. Both are clean ways of saying this thing actually works.

Then US CAN STARTUP stepped in, not just with capital but with connective tissue. Shun Ma understands that scale is not about shouting louder, it is about shortening distance. Vancouver, Palo Alto, Asia. Same conversation, fewer intermediaries. That matters when the product itself is about removing middlemen disguised as safeguards.

The leadership bench makes the signal even louder. Shawn Pang brings product scars from TikTok and Capital One. Ruoyang Wang knows what breaks when systems touch money. Alisha Li understands emerging markets because she has operated inside them. Jianfei Chen builds infra that does not blink. Khalil Lin ensures the rules are followed without turning the rules into weapons. Different paths, same thesis.

AllScale is not chasing the future. It is dealing with the present. Stablecoins already exist. Freelancers already work globally. Regulation already showed up. The only open question was whether someone would connect the dots without overcomplicating the picture. AllScale did not speed things up for sport. It removed drag. And once drag is gone, momentum handles the rest.
