anchored·63b4zv…nEUdSummary
Atum (also referred to as Atum Labs) is a San Francisco-based payments startup founded by Pete Cooling, a former Visa crypto product lead, that emerged from stealth in October 2026 with $13.5 million in funding from investors including Variant and PayPal Ventures. The company describes itself as a neutral coordination layer for stablecoin and agent-initiated payments that does not custody customer funds, issue its own token, or operate its own blockchain. No lawsuits, regulatory actions, hacks, or credible fraud allegations against the company or its founder were found at the time of this investigation; as a newly-launched startup with limited public track record, available information is necessarily limited.
