Artu Streamlines Global Art Trade with USDC Payments

Artool (operator Abitus Associates), an AI-based curation platform leading innovation in the global art market, has opened new horizons by fully introducing an innovative payment system based on the dollar stablecoin USDC. This is Artool's strategic choice to alleviate the inconveniences faced by collectors worldwide, such as national barriers, complex exchange rate issues, and diverse payment infrastructures, thereby maximizing the convenience of cross-border art transactions. This pioneering system was implemented through close integration with 'XPLA Vault Wallet', built on the CONX mainnet, in which Com2uS Holdings is deeply involved, securing both technical stability and reliability simultaneously. Artool now provides a groundbreaking feature: real-time payment and settlement via USDC. Based on the transparent traceability of blockchain, real-time settlement without delays has become possible, effectively managing troublesome exchange rate fluctuation risks and further enhancing transaction transparency. Artool's vision does not stop here. Beyond simple art purchases, there are plans to expand this system across real-asset-based financial services such as art funds and Security Token Offerings (STOs). Furthermore, by proactively establishing Net Asset Value (NAV) verification, a secure custody system, and a regulation-friendly settlement system, Artool has fully met the high standards required by stringent institutional financial organizations. An Artool official stated, "Payment infrastructure is a key factor determining the healthy growth of the global art market," expressing a strong commitment to "continuously advance the operating system to activate a Real-World Asset (RWA)-based art finance ecosystem." The CONX Foundation also emphasized the importance of this collaboration by stating, "This is a historic first step in introducing a real-world art payment and settlement system utilizing stablecoins," and "we will continue our robust partnership for the expansion of future RWA and STO-linked financial ecosystems." Meanwhile, Artool recently drew global attention by being invited to OpenAI DevDay, where it showcased innovative conversational curation technology, and has already secured successful investments from leading investors such as SBVA, 500 Global, and Goodwater Capital, affirming its potential.
