  "summary": "Tether, the stablecoin issuer, has backed AIsa as a strategic investor, completing its seed extension round. The round brings AIsa's total funding to over $9 million, with Tether and HIVEN joining a list of strategic investors that also includes Alibaba, Tribe Capital, Sumitomo Corporation, Draper Associates, Saison Capital, and others. AIsa's CEO, Jordan Liu, stated that the company aims to build infrastructure that enables enterprise AI agents to discover, access, and pay for resources globally while giving enterprises full control over permissions, spending, and transactions. The company's Trusted Resource and Transaction Network for Enterprise AI Agents is designed to address the challenges of fragmented providers, integrations, and billing systems that make it difficult for enterprise AI agents to operate effectively in production and manage at scale.",
