Securrency, a blockchain-based financial and regulatory technology firm, has raised $30 million in a Series B round from State Street, U.S. Bank, WisdomTree Investments, Abu Dhabi Catalyst Partners Limited (ADCP) and others. 

Monday’s announcement follows Securrency’s $17.75 million Series A raise in early 2020, which was led by WisdomTree. 

“We believe the Securrency team is uniquely suited to lead in blockchain-based fintech and regtech going forward,” said Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree Founder and CEO in a statement. “Our ongoing financial commitment reaffirms the strength of our support.”

Securrency focuses on bringing crypto compliance tools to banks and financial institutions. The Washington, D.C-based firm plans to expand into decentralized finance and other areas with the new capital. 

“Blockchain technology will be a vital part of the interconnected and interoperable future of global finance, but a truly viable system must connect the full panoply of financial services and systems to digital assets infrastructure,” said Dan Doney, Securrency co-founder and CEO in a statement.

The company also applied for licenses to expand offerings to international finance center Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). With the Series B, Securrency now has $64.5 million in total funding, according to data from Crunchbase.

Research

Solana Mobile is a highly ambitious foray into the mobile consumer hardware market, seeking to open up a crypto-native distribution channel for mobile-first applications. The market for Solana Mobile devices has demonstrated a phenomenon whereby external market actors (e.g. Solana-native projects) continuously underwrite subsidies to Mobile consumers. The value of these subsidies, coming in the form of airdrops, trial programs, and exclusive NFT mints, have consistently covered the cost of the phone and generated positive returns for consumers. Given this trend in subsidies, the unit economics in the market for Mobile devices, and the initial growth rate and trajectory of sales, it should be expected that Solana mobile can clear 1M to 10M units over the coming years. As more devices circulate amongst users, Solana Mobile presents a promising venue for the emergence of killer-applications uniquely enabled by this mobile-first, crypto-native distribution channel.
