The Crypto Company (OTCID: CRCW) announced today the acquisition of Frame Holdings Ltd.'s intellectual property, including its purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed to connect fragmented crypto ecosystems into a single interoperable settlement network. The company intends to launch the Frame Blockchain this year as crypto commerce enters a period of rapid global expansion.
Today's crypto landscape is fragmented, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, and dozens of other networks operating as isolated economies. Frame Blockchain is designed to unify them by 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, including a private mempool architecture that eliminates MEV bot extraction.
"We believe an economic expansion of historic magnitude is taking shape in real time," said Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer of TCC. "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. Sean Docherty, Frame Blockchain's creator and chief architect, likened it to 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 TCC, emphasized the importance of connection for mainstream adoption. "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. TCC completed the acquisition through a simultaneous sign-and-close transaction with no TCC equity issued at closing and no upfront cash. All equity consideration is milestone-based, earned only upon achievement of predefined performance and adoption targets. TCC has committed $2 million in capital to fund initial development through its newly formed subsidiary, Frame Intelligence, LLC.
The Crypto Company (OTCID: CRCW) is a publicly traded company focused on developing and operating blockchain infrastructure. More information is available at thecryptocompany.com.
