Originally reported by BlockBeats on November 10, 2026, at 21:59 (UTC+8). Marble announced its formation and said it had completed an $11 million seed round led by Polychain Capital. Maven 11, Ripple, Susquehanna Crypto, Lattice and Blockwall were among the participating investors, alongside individual investors focused on AI.
Marble describes two businesses. Marble Compute aims to connect institutional lenders with neocloud providers and GPU operators building AI infrastructure through a private-credit system. Marble Markets is developing an institutional trading platform intended to cover digital assets, real-world assets (RWA), prediction markets and compute markets. These are the company’s stated plans, not evidence in the report of lending volume or trading adoption.
Co-founders Matt Ballensweig and Leon Marshall serve as co-CEOs. Ballensweig previously led global trading at BitGo and co-led trading and lending at Genesis. Marshall previously served as CEO of Galaxy Digital’s European business and worked at Genesis, Apollo and Trafigura. Marble said it planned to expand its team over the following months.
