Aspora

YC/Coinbase frame onchain as Fintech 3.0, backed by regulatory clarity (GENIUS/CLARITY) and a focus on stablecoins, tokenization, and onchain apps; inviting founders to build with YC, Base, and Coinbase Ventures.

Aspora, led by Parth Garg, pivoted from debt finance for Indian software firms to cross-border diaspora banking using stablecoins, amassing 700k NRIs, handling hundreds of millions of transfers monthly (~$4B/year), and closing Series A (Nov 2024) and Series B (Spring 2025) while pursuing multi-country licensing and a broader product slate.
