↑ 1%Blueprint Finance has secured a strategic funding round led by Polychain Capital to scale Concrete, its institutional DeFi infrastructure platform. Participants include Bullish, Keyrock, BitGo, FalconX, G-20, Flowdesk, JPEG Trading, Sentient Capital, Andes, and 2Square. The company develops full-stack vault infrastructure enabling institutions and asset managers to launch and manage on-chain capital allocation strategies. Concrete integrates execution, accounting, risk controls, and rebalancing within a unified vault system. Blueprint Finance has expanded its ecosystem with new financial primitives, including AssetCX and concUSD. The round brings together investors spanning venture capital, institutional trading, custody, and liquidity provision. CEO Nic Roberts-Huntley stated the strategic partners operate at the centre of digital asset markets, providing expertise across liquidity, execution, and distribution.
FalconX has partnered with Ethena on a $1 billion secured lending facility to expand institutional credit access in digital assets. The facility will deploy capital from assets backing USDe into overcollateralised institutional lending through a special purpose vehicle. Ethena will gain access to institutional lending markets beyond traditional crypto basis strategies, whilst FalconX acts as originator, servicer, and collateral manager. Loans will be overcollateralised with assets held at qualified custodians. "Institutional credit in the digital asset space is evolving rapidly," said Craig Birchall, head of credit at FalconX. The partnership marks one of the largest deployments of on-chain capital into secured institutional credit to date. The agreement builds on an existing relationship between the firms, including FalconX's support for USDe across its institutional trading and financing ecosystem.
FalconX, a digital assets brokerage firm, has cut 10% of its staff globally as it prepares for an extended downturn in cryptocurrency markets, according to sources. The firm has facilitated approximately $2.5 trillion in trading volume. CEO Raghu Yarlagadda discussed the layoffs and the company's future plans, including potential deals and an IPO, in an interview with Bloomberg Crypto. The workforce reduction reflects broader challenges facing the cryptocurrency industry as market conditions remain difficult.
Interstice Digital has launched a Cross-Chain Swap Engine in partnership with FalconX, connecting institutional-grade liquidity between the Canton Network, Robinhood Chain, Solana and Ethereum. The non-custodial swap engine has been named a Featured App on Canton. The engine links Canton's institutional infrastructure with major retail liquidity pools. Robinhood Chain serves 28 million funded accounts with $369 billion in platform assets. Solana recorded 167 million monthly active addresses in April 2026 and $650 billion in stablecoin transaction volume in February 2026. According to Janine Yorio, CEO of Interstice Digital, the engine connects these networks to Canton's ecosystem, where over $9 trillion in tokenised real-world assets flow monthly. The infrastructure is powered by Trulioo, TRM Labs, CertiK, Canton Strategic Holdings and MPCH.
OpenEden has closed a funding round backed by trading firms, venture capital funds, blockchain networks, and institutional infrastructure providers. The company will use the capital to scale its tokenization platform and expand its suite of tokenised US Treasurys. Investors include Ripple, Lightspeed Faction, Gate Ventures, FalconX, Anchorage Digital Ventures, Flowdesk, P2 Ventures, Selini Capital, Kaia Foundation, and Sigma Capital. The firm's core offerings are TBILL, a tokenised US Treasury fund, and USDO, a yield-bearing stablecoin backed by Treasurys. OpenEden is also developing tokenised bond exposure, a multi-strategy yield token, and structured offerings. In August, BNY Mellon was appointed custodian and investment manager for the Treasurys underlying TBILL.
