"The Avalanche ecosystem has built the rails moving value across borders faster than ever. AeraTech completes that picture from the inside. Our platform gives group treasury real-time visibility into global cash and continuously and optimally nets intercompany obligations. Offsetting positions then settle on our ledger, stopping liquidity from being trapped between entities. Cash that once sat frozen between a company's own subsidiaries becomes liquidity the business can put to work in real time. We're proud to be a founding member and to help build the treasury layer of the Avalanche payments stack."
