(WorldFrontNews Editorial):- Los Angeles, California Jun 2, 2026 (Issuewire.com) – WalletBridge, a payment interoperability platform and subsidiary of Venice Dynamics, a technology holding company that is majority owned by Medican Enterprises Inc. (OTCID: MDCN), today announced that it has surpassed its initial $50,000 reservation milestone on Wefunder, one of the leading equity crowdfunding platforms in the United States. The milestone marks a pivotal step in WalletBridge’s capital formation strategy: Wefunder is now filing the requisite Regulation CF  to bring the WalletBridge campaign live and open it to Wefunder’s network of more than one million registered investors.

The announcement positions WalletBridge as a first-mover in the consumer fintech category of payment interoperability — building the infrastructure layer that enables money to move across fragmented payment ecosystems without requiring users to share a single app.

WEFUNDER MILESTONE AND CAMPAIGN STATUS

WalletBridge’s initial reservation threshold on Wefunder has been met, triggering the next phase of the company’s community raise. Wefunder has been working closely with the WalletBridge team to refine the campaign page and prepare for a full public launch. Once the offering goes live, WalletBridge will gain access to Wefunder’s community of more than 1,000,000 registered investors — one of the largest retail investment audiences in equity crowdfunding.

The campaign will access WalletBridge with a $10 million valuation cap, presenting an early-entry opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the emerging payment interoperability sector. The offering is subject to applicable securities regulations, and interested investors are encouraged to review the official offering materials available at wefunder.com/walletbridge. Reservations made prior to the live date are non-binding and subject to final offering terms.

THE BROKEN STATE OF MONEY: A $1.2 TRILLION PROBLEM IN PLAIN SIGHT

Despite the proliferation of digital payment platforms over the past decade, consumer payments remain structurally fragmented. Money moves efficiently within each ecosystem — but rarely between them.

Consider the current reality:

• Cash App does not communicate with Venmo.
• Venmo does not communicate with Zelle.
• Zelle is not universally accepted across every bank, wallet, or payment application.
• PayPal, Apple Pay, bank-native apps, and digital wallets each operate as independent, closed systems.

The result is a question that has become ubiquitous in everyday American life: “Which app do you have?”

That question represents friction — and friction at scale represents a significant market failure. The consequences are felt daily across:

• Friends splitting restaurant bills and travel costs
• Roommates managing shared rent, utilities, and household expenses
• Freelancers and contractors collecting payments from clients on different platforms
• Small businesses attempting to accept peer-to-peer payments without a point-of-sale system
• Families sending emergency funds across state lines
• Creators, gig workers, and solopreneurs managing income across multiple apps

This is not a niche inconvenience. According to Pew Research, 76% of Americans have used at least one of PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App. Meanwhile, Zelle alone reported more than $1.2 trillion in payment volume in 2025 — equivalent to approximately $3.4 billion moving through a single payment rail every single day. The fragmentation of this market is not a technology problem. It is an infrastructure problem. And it remains unsolved.

THE WALLETBRIDGE SOLUTION: INFRASTRUCTURE, NOT ANOTHER APP

WalletBridge is not a payment app. It is the universal bridge between payment apps.

Think of it as email, but for money — not in the sense of simplicity, but in the sense of protocol-level interoperability. Email works because the underlying infrastructure allows messages to move between providers, regardless of whether the sender uses Gmail and the recipient uses Outlook. WalletBridge is engineered to bring that same interoperability paradigm to peer-to-peer payments.

The WalletBridge model works as follows:

• A user connects their existing payment accounts — Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, bank accounts, and others — to their WalletBridge profile. This is a one-time setup.
• When another person needs to send money, that sender uses whichever app they already prefer. No new downloads. No account creation.
• WalletBridge intelligently routes the transaction across the user’s connected platforms, linked instruments, and bank-grade APIs.
• In regulated stages, WalletBridge will expand routing capabilities to include licensed money-transmitter rails, enabling near-instant settlement across a broader range of financial instruments.
• The money arrives where the recipient wants it — instantly or near-instantly, depending on the applicable rail and compliance framework.

The goal: neither party should ever have to ask “Which app do you have?” again.

REVENUE MODEL: BUILT TO SCALE WITH THE NETWORK

WalletBridge is designed around a dual-revenue model that monetizes both transactional volume and platform loyalty — creating compounding revenue as the user base grows.

• Per-Transaction Routing Fees

Every payment routed through the WalletBridge infrastructure generates a small per-transaction fee. This model mirrors the economics of established payment rails and card networks: low friction per transaction, high aggregate value at scale. As transaction volume grows — driven by consumer adoption and potential platform licensing — revenue scales proportionally without requiring significant incremental cost.

• WalletBridge Premium — Subscription Tier for Power Users

WalletBridge will offer a subscription tier for high-frequency users, freelancers, small business operators, and gig economy workers who route significant payment volume. Premium subscribers gain access to priority routing, enhanced cross-platform visibility, advanced transaction analytics, and early access to new rail integrations. The subscription model provides predictable recurring revenue and deepens retention among WalletBridge’s most engaged users.

Together, these two streams create a business model that benefits from network effects: more users generate more transactions, more transactions generate more data and routing efficiency, and more routing efficiency strengthens the platform’s defensibility against new entrants.

USE OF PROCEEDS: CAPITAL WITH A CLEAR MISSION

WalletBridge has structured its raise around five strategic priorities, each directly tied to the company’s path to product launch, regulatory compliance, and market penetration:

Money Transmitter Licensing

Obtaining state-level money transmitter licenses is the foundational regulatory step that enables WalletBridge to operate as a licensed payment intermediary across U.S. markets. This is not optional infrastructure — it is the legal prerequisite for routing real money between platforms at scale. A meaningful portion of raised capital will be allocated to accelerating this licensing process.

Core Technology & Routing Infrastructure

Capital will fund the continued build-out of WalletBridge’s proprietary routing engine — the intelligence layer that determines how transactions move across connected platforms, selects optimal rails, and manages settlement timing. This is the core technical moat of the business.

API Partnerships & Platform Integrations

WalletBridge’s utility grows with every platform it connects to. Investment in API partnerships and third-party integrations directly expands the network’s reach and accelerates the value delivered to end users. Target integrations include bank APIs, existing payment platforms, and fintech infrastructure providers.

Team Expansion

Proceeds will support strategic hires across engineering, compliance, product, and business development — the functional areas most critical to WalletBridge’s next phase of growth.

User Acquisition & Marketing

With 2,147+ waitlist users acquired organically, WalletBridge has demonstrated strong pull-based demand. Paid marketing and partnership-driven acquisition will be deployed to accelerate growth beyond the organic baseline and convert waitlist interest into active platform users.

MARKET VALIDATION: SCALE, TIMING, AND CONSUMER DEMAND

The conditions for a payment interoperability platform have never been stronger:

• Zelle processed more than $1.2 trillion in payment volume in 2025, averaging approximately $3.4 billion in daily transactions — demonstrating consumer appetite for digital P2P payments at institutional scale.
• Pew Research reports that 76% of Americans actively use at least one major digital payment platform, confirming that the fragmented landscape now spans the majority of the U.S. adult population.
• The digital payments market continues to expand globally, with peer-to-peer transactions representing one of the fastest-growing segments in consumer fintech.
• Regulatory frameworks under Regulation CF and Regulation D 506(c) now enable fintech startups to access capital from both retail and accredited investors — democratizing early-stage investment in category-defining infrastructure companies.

EARLY TRACTION: 2,147+ WAITLIST USERS, ZERO PAID ACQUISITION

Prior to opening its Wefunder campaign or conducting any paid advertising, WalletBridge organically accumulated more than 2,147 early waitlist users. This demand signal — achieved with zero ad spend — reflects genuine consumer recognition of a problem that is widely experienced but structurally unaddressed.

Wefunder’s team has been actively working alongside WalletBridge to prepare the campaign page for launch, signaling platform-level confidence in the offering’s investor readiness.

LEADERSHIP: A PROVEN MULTI-INDUSTRY EXECUTIVE

WalletBridge is led by Dr. Xavier Mitchell, a decorated entrepreneur, U.S. Army Desert Storm veteran, involved in multiple publicly traded companies, including Medican Enterprises Inc. (OTC: MDCN), Valiant Eagle Inc. (OTC: PSRU), and Bell Rose Capital Inc. (OTC:BELR).

Dr. Mitchell’s track record spans entertainment, sports, technology, and global resource ventures. He scaled Valiant Eagle Inc. into a multi-project production company with international financing structures.

He is the recipient of the President Biden Lifetime Achievement Award, has received an official “Xavier Mitchell Day” proclamation, has been knighted for his community contributions, and has led San Diego Community Assist for more than 30 years.

Dr. Mitchell brings to WalletBridge what few fintech founders can: demonstrated experience navigating public markets, raising capital across multiple vehicles, operating across regulated industries, and building enterprises that span infrastructure, technology, and institutional partnerships.

FROM THE CEO

“Consumers should not have to choose payment apps the way they once chose phone carriers — locked into closed systems with no interoperability between them. Money should move across platforms as easily as email moves across providers. That is the infrastructure gap WalletBridge is closing. We are not building another wallet. We are building the bridge. Crossing the Wefunder reservation milestone is meaningful validation — not just for our fundraise, but for the thesis behind WalletBridge. Investors recognized this opportunity before we ran a single ad. That tells us what we already believed: this is not a niche inconvenience. This is a mainstream payments problem hiding in plain sight, and the market is ready for the infrastructure layer that solves it.”

— Dr. Xavier Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer, WalletBridge

DUAL PATH FOR INVESTORS

WalletBridge has structured its capital formation strategy to accommodate both retail and accredited investors through two distinct pathways:
