GAIB Secures $10M Strategic Investment Led by Amber Group to Expand Onchain AI Infrastructure

GAIB, a blockchain-based AI compute economy platform, has finalized a $10 million strategic investment led by Amber Group, a leading global digital asset firm, alongside other Asia-based investors [1]. The funding will be directly allocated to tokenized GPU assets on the GAIB platform, aiming to expand the availability of onchain AI compute infrastructure and drive institutional participation in the emerging AI economy [1]. This follows a $5 million seed round in December 2024, led by venture firms such as Hack VC, Faction VC, and Hashed, with additional support from Spartan, Animoca Brands, and several industry founders [1].

GAIB’s core objective is to tokenize GPU resources—traditionally considered illiquid assets—making AI computing power more accessible and tradable on the blockchain. This approach allows investors to gain exposure to AI infrastructure through tokenized synthetic assets like the platform’s AI Synthetic Dollar (AID). The platform also supports staking mechanisms that enable users to earn passive income while maintaining liquidity [1].

The CEO and co-founder of GAIB, Kony, emphasized the strategic importance of this round, stating that “Compute is the new oil,” and should therefore be accessible, productive, and tradable onchain [1]. He noted that Amber Group’s involvement represents a key milestone in institutional capital’s engagement with AI infrastructure, signaling growing recognition of the sector’s potential [1].

Wayne Huo, CEO of Amber International (Nasdaq: AMBR), underscored the investment’s alignment with Amber Group’s broader strategy, which focuses on the convergence of AI, blockchain, and capital markets. He highlighted that this integration could redefine traditional investment paradigms and foster an inclusive AI economy [1].

GAIB’s 2025 growth strategy includes expanding its AI infrastructure while building financial tools for autonomous economies. To date, the platform has attracted $28 million in deposits across its AID Alpha vaults and has integrated with DeFi protocols to enhance its utility and reach [1]. The company is also developing mechanisms to support cloud providers and data centers through capital solutions that optimize access to compute resources.

Amber Group, based in Singapore, is a major player in digital assets, offering services in wealth and asset management, market making, and advisory. It has raised support from top-tier investors including Sequoia, Tiger Global Management, and Pantera. In addition to its institutional-facing brand, Amber Premium, Amber Group has launched ai.ac, an AgentFi platform designed for the intelligent agent economy [1].

This investment marks a significant step in the tokenization of AI infrastructure and signals growing institutional interest in blockchain-based AI solutions. As GAIB continues to build its platform, it aims to create a more inclusive and liquid market for AI compute, positioning itself at the intersection of AI, DeFi, and digital asset innovation [1].
