Nomura, WisdomTree, DTCC, and Euroclear were among the other participants in the Series B funding round.

Participating in the round were DTCC, Euroclear, Nomura, and WisdomTree. Additional support was provided by several banks that had previously supported Fnality’s $63 million fundraising effort in 2019: Banco Santander, BNY Mellon, Barclays, CIBC, Commerzbank, ING, Lloyds Banking Group, Nasdaq Ventures, State Street, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and UBS.
The recent buzz in blockchain technology is the tokenization of traditional financial assets on permissioned, or sometimes public, blockchains such as Ethereum. Fnality, formerly the Utility Settlement Coin project, is considered something of an original pioneer in utilizing shared ledgers to enable delivery versus payment (DvP) for wholesale banking through the use of currency on chain.
“Our Series B funding round reflects the need of the financial sector for a blockchain-based settlement solution backed by central banks that bridges the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) in wholesale markets,” stated Rhomaios Ram, CEO of Fnality International, in a statement.
Mathew McDermott, head of digital assets at Goldman Sachs, referred to Fnality as a “key enabler” in the expanding tokenization movement. “A robust approach for institutions to use central bank funds across a broad range of possible use cases, including instantaneous, cross-border, cross-currency payments, collateral mobility, and security transactions is provided by Fnality’s application of blockchain technology,” the spokesperson stated.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider taking the step of supporting CryptoCaster’s journalism.
From Elon Musk, Larry Fink(BlackRock) to Jamie Dimon(JP Morgan Chase) a number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the hidden agendas’ which eludes the public concerning the paradigm shift juxtaposed by cryptocurrency and web3 emerging technologies. CryptoCaster is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalistic efforts are produced to serve the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions – not profit motives.
And we avoid the trap that befalls much U.S. and global media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency dictates everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against fiat global banking interest and monetary reconstruction precipitated by the emerging crypto ecology.
When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance and Ripple crisis, we’re not afraid to name who or what is uncovered. And as a crypto sentinel, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on the global monetary disruption – one so often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.
Around the world, readers can access the CryptoCaster’s paywall-free journalism because of our unique reader-supported model. That’s because of people like you. Our readers keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news and information, or not.
