a year ago we raised $5m to build a neobank for global trade

today: $600m+ in transaction volume

[eman.eth @EmanFT_]

We predicted this. And manifested it.

Shield is trying to make cross-border payments less painful by building a crypto neo-bank that bakes compliance right into the process.

Think exporters and importers paying in stablecoins, but without waking up to scary letters from regulators.

Giant Ventures led the $5 million seed, alongside a16z crypto and Factor Capital.

Sometimes the best investments come from backing exceptional founders before they find their breakthrough idea. Shield's journey from pivot to $5M raise is exactly why I bet on teams, not just traction.

Congrats to the entire team! 🚀

[Stuti @stutireal]

Very proud of the team at @shield_xyz.

We’re delighted at @triton_xyz to be early backers (our first investment coming from our former name @KrakenVentures) and applaud the prescience with which @EmanFT_ @LuissCarchi @isaiahudotong recognized that stablecoin rails would be critical to efficient global trade.

Their progress and volume growth since taking their product live has been a testament to the real world importance of crypto and blockchain.

Thanks for giving me a front row seat on this journey!

Global trade will be much bigger on stables than consumer domestic in the medium term.
