CoinText.io, a blockchain startup developing a way to conduct offline bitcoin cash transactions, closed a $600,000 seed funding round, the company announced Friday.
Lead by Texas-based Yeoman's Capital, which has previously invested in Factom, OpenGarden and tZero, the funding round will be used to develop a mobile wallet which can support bitcoin cash transactions conducted via text messages, without requiring either internet access or wallet addresses, according to a press release.

The startup's CTO, Vin Armani, said the venture capital firm will also provide other forms of support, including advice and guidance, as CoinText works to expand its platform.
He said in a statement:
"We are dedicated to making cryptocurrency easy to use for the maximum number of people. Yeoman's team brings valuable experience to our mission to deliver useful tools that spread bitcoin adoption far and wide."
CoinText currently provides services in eight countries, including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, and South Africa.
The startup is one of a growing number of enterprises focusing on instant cryptocurrency transactions. In particular, it joins other startups in trying to find ways of conducting transactions in areas without internet access.
As previously reported by CoinDesk, blockchain startup goTenna developed an intermediary device which can enable mobile phones to conduct offline transactions. Unlike CoinText, goTenna's solution makes use of a mesh network - a digital infrastructure which allows users to access the internet without Wi-Fi or a landline connection.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

XRP drops 4% as traders watch whether $1.88 support holds
Price stabilizes near recent lows after a volatile pullback from above $2.
What to know:
- XRP slipped nearly 4% as bitcoin fell below $88,000, with price action driven more by market structure and positioning than by changes to Ripple’s fundamentals.
- Spot XRP ETFs saw about $40.6 million in weekly outflows, suggesting institutional profit-taking and rotation rather than a loss of confidence in the asset.
- XRP remains range-bound in a tight consolidation between support around $1.88 and resistance near $1.93–$1.95, with fading volume pointing to a larger move once the current stalemate resolves.
