t54 Raises Seed Funding To Secure Agentic Commerce

t54, founded by former JPMorgan and Ripple executive Chandler Fang, raised $5 million in seed funding last week to build a trust layer for agentic commerce. The startup will provide agent-native financial primitives—verifiable agent identity (KYA), real-time risk assessment, and programmable accountability—and announced strategic collaboration with Evernorth and participation from Ripple to integrate verification on the XRP Ledger.
