We’ve just raised $175M, in a round co-led by @paradigm, @a16zcrypto, and @RibbitCapital, the largest raise DeFi has ever seen.
Credit is the bedrock of our civilization, but the infrastructure underneath is fragmented, extractive, and closed to most of the world. That is what @Morpho is here to change.
Morpho is building the open credit network for the world. The global credit market is $ 200T. We are building the infrastructure layer that will move it onchain, and every institution, fintech, and bank that wants to participate in the next era of finance will connect to this network.
After four years of being heads down building Morpho, we now count more than $11B in deposits and integrations with leading financial institutions including @Coinbase, @Binance, @FireblocksHQ, @SG_Forge, @krakenfx, @Bitwise, and dozens of others building on Morpho to offer better products to their users. But this is just the beginning.
This raise will allow us to accelerate: activating the global credit network at scale, building the go-to-market engine to match our ambition, and bringing more institutions onto the network faster.
Having any kind of onchain strategy in this era will mean going through Morpho at some point. Reach out and let's talk. And if you want to help build the open credit network for the world, we have plenty of open roles.
Let’s fly 🦋
@Morpho 🦋 is officially a unicorn 🦄
The first 🇫🇷 DeFi unicorn!
France can build global champions reshaping finance. The work ahead:
➡️ Modernise national laws and taxation to fit onchain innovations
➡️ Make France an ally in future EU policy debates 🇪🇺
➡️ Champion the strategic case for financial innovations to investors and institutions
Thank you @ALehenanff for making the case for DeFi where it counts.
The future of France, definitely 🚀
🔴 @Morpho is now a unicorn - a major announcement at the French Ministry of Finance.
“We are France’s first DeFi unicorn” - @faufleuret
Fun fact: Morpho is now the most valuable French startup per employee ($26M), ahead of Mistral AI ($17M).
People finally realize that @Morpho is an infrastructure play.
We don't aspire to become a fintech, a crypto bank, or an asset manager.
We want to be the internet protocol for financing that empowers every fintech, every bank, and every asset manager, connecting them all in a single network.
Morpho is now accessible through @Anchorage!
Institutions can access onchain asset allocation strategies via Morpho Vaults, directly through a federally regulated crypto bank with $50B+ asset under management, inside the Anchorage Digital platform.
This is the institutional DeFi mullet in action: regulated custody and familiar institutional workflows on the surface, and onchain infrastructure under the hood.
Another major exchange joins the Morpho network 🦑
@krakenfx DeFi Earn users can choose @SentoraHQ vaults to access Morpho and gain exposure to its competitive onchain rates.
Available to millions directly through one of the most trusted apps in crypto!
$GLXY continues to work day after day building long term shareholder value. Of course, I wish our stock went up every day but we can’t control who buy and sells. What we can do is invest for the future, chase down loose balls, and recruit great talent.
We are excited about the opportunities we see in both our main lines of business. Our company has a higher employee ownership than any company in either of our spaces (crypto or data centers). So yes, we eat our own cooking.
The crypto markets have been very sluggish. My best guess is that after a very long bull market, lots of long term holders are rebalancing their net worths and diversifying away from massive concentrated holdings. This is healthy in the medium and long term as these positions get distributed. In the short run it’s a proverbial wet blanket and has weighed on prices.
I do not think we have seen cycle highs. I think by year end we see a new Fed chair and he will be far more dovish than markets are used to. Hopefully that gives enough narrative to propel the next leg higher.
I am a long term bull on $GLXY
Great time at the BVI Digital Assets Summit presenting @p00lsgames , the fastest-growing social casino game on @telegram
Also had the opportunity to speak on a panel about the evolving DeFi landscape, from real-world use cases and institutional adoption to its convergence with traditional finance with @BVIFinance@OgierGroup & Walkers
