A $2.9M seed for cross-border payments in emerging markets signals investors still believe there's room for new entrants in remittance/corridor infrastructure—likely because existing players (Wise, Remitly) haven't fully solved the local liquidity piece. Efferon's probably using this to build out on-ramps in 2-3 specific corridors and hire ops/compliance teams, not product. If you're building any B2B fintech touching EM, watch whether they can actually move money cheaper than incumbents or if they're just another liquidity aggregator.
