The Crypto Company (OTCQB: CRCW) announced today the acquisition of Frame Holdings Ltd.'s intellectual property, including Frame Blockchain, a Layer 1 blockchain designed to connect fragmented crypto ecosystems into a single interoperable settlement network. The company intends to launch Frame Blockchain this year as crypto commerce undergoes rapid global expansion, addressing the current fragmentation where networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, and others operate as isolated economies.
Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer of The Crypto Company, stated, 'We believe an economic expansion of historic magnitude is taking shape in real time. Innovative technology and new financial systems are enabling millions of people to build businesses around the work that matters to them. That economy needs a settlement layer that matches its speed and ambition, and we believe digital assets are required to enable that growth. We envision Frame Blockchain serving an important part of that infrastructure.'
Rather than competing with existing protocols, Frame Blockchain connects them, enabling applications, assets, and value to move across ecosystems as if they were one. The network features post-quantum security, architectural protections against front-running, and enterprise-grade throughput. A private mempool architecture eliminates MEV bot extraction, a practice common with existing protocols but problematic for creating a vibrant crypto economy. Sean Docherty, Frame Blockchain's creator and chief architect, explained, 'Think of it as the interstate highway system for crypto. Commerce within each city might thrive, but without a highway connecting them, trade between them grinds to a halt. That’s crypto today. Frame Blockchain was built to connect them.'
Jared Strasser, Chief Operating Officer of The Crypto Company, added, 'Our core belief has always been that the path to crypto’s mainstream adoption runs through connection: bringing people on-chain and then connecting the chains themselves. Frame Blockchain is built to do exactly that. And as AI-driven commerce grows and autonomous agents begin transacting with digital assets, an interoperable settlement layer becomes even more critical. We believe Frame Blockchain positions us at the center of both of those opportunities.'
Rafe Furst, Chief Strategy Officer, noted that combining a public company with a new Layer 1 blockchain unlocks aligned exposure to the economics of crypto commerce. The acquisition was completed through a simultaneous sign-and-close transaction with no TCC equity issued at closing and no upfront cash. All TCC equity consideration is milestone-based, earned only upon achievement of predefined performance and adoption targets over time. The Crypto Company has committed $2 million in capital to fund initial development through its newly formed subsidiary, Frame Intelligence, LLC.
The Crypto Company is a publicly traded company with operating history dating back to 2017, focused on developing and operating blockchain infrastructure. Through an active Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), TCC holds tokens which it believes represent both financial and strategic value. More information can be found at thecryptocompany.com.
