Other investors that participated included Huan Ventures, FTX Ventures, Solana Ventures and Polygon.

“We’ve assembled an all-star team of former Uber and Amazon employees with diverse expertise across engineering, crypto, fintech, and consumer products,” the co-founders of Exponential жазган өзүнүн блогунда да.

Investment firm BlockTower previously inked a $3 million strategic partnership with Centrifuge and has since financed over $182 million worth of real-world assets with DeFi liquidity.

“We’re building the credit market of the future and along with that we need to build out the financial ecosystem for institutions to transact on-chain,” said Lucas Vogelsang, Centrifuge’s chief executive.

Another wallet, braavos, also received funding this week.

Braavos plans to use the latest fundraise to launch a suite of products — including a “forgot password” mechanism, multi-factor authentication and built-in DeFi capabilities for one-click yield inside the wallet.

“Our mission is to eliminate these high friction hurdles and provide users with the smooth experience they deserve, while preserving the core crypto values of decentralization and self-custody,” Motty Lavie, founder and CEO of Braavos, said in a statement.
