Quick take:

The structure of the deals was also not disclosed, raising the question of whether its an all-cash or all-equity deal, or a mixture of both.

Polygon said the acquisitions are meant to advance its stablecoin strategy, according to CEO Marc Boiron and Polygon Foundation founder Sandeep Nailwal.

Coinme, which holds a suite of money transmitter licenses in the U.S., specializes in converting cash into crypto and is known for its work with crypto ATMs, while Sequence builds crypto wallet infrastructure.

Polygon Labs, the developer of the enterprise-grade infrastructure for global blockchain-based payments, has acquired two crypto startups in a deal worth more than $250 million. 

According to the announcement on Tuesday, Polygon closed deals to buy the crypto startups Coinme and Sequence as it looks to advance its stablecoin strategy. The company did not disclose the specific deal value for each startup or the structure of the deals.

Coinme, which holds a suite of money transmitter licenses in the U.S., specializes in converting cash into crypto and is known for its work with crypto ATMs, while Sequence builds crypto wallet infrastructure.

The announcement follows Polygon’s launch of the Open Money Stack last week. The company describes the Open Money Stack as an open and integrated stack of services and technologies to instantly and reliably move money anywhere, and put it to work.

This latest double-acquisition furthers the company’s strategy and positions it well to compete with the likes of Stripe.

Describing his company’s stablecoin push, Polygon Foundation founder Sandeep Nailwal called it “a reverse Stripe in a way”. Unlike Stripe, which first acquired a stablecoin startup before building its own blockchain, Polygon already has a robust network of blockchains, where it is bringing startups to build upon it.

“Polygon Labs is becoming a full-blown fintech company,” said Nailwal.

Quick take:

The SPAC IPO is separate from Kraken’s own IPO announced in November.

KRAK Acquisition expands Kraken’s digital asset footprint in the public markets.

Spanish banking giant Santander is listed as the sole book runner.

KRAK Acquisition Corp, a special-purpose acquisition company backed by Kraken, has filed for an initial public offering to raise $250 million. Although KRAK Acquisition has yet to state its primary target industry, it is reportedly expected to focus on businesses in the cryptocurrency industry. This would further expand Kraken’s digital asset footprint in the public markets.

“We have not selected any business combination target, and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. We may pursue an initial business combination target in any business or industry,” the company wrote in the filing.

The crypto exchange company already filed for its own IPO in November, thereby making KRAK Acquisition’s SPAC offering a separate venture. The company plans to offer 25 million units at $10 each on NASDAQ and will trade under the ticker name KRAQU.

Each unit of offering consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant holder can exercise their rights, which entitle them to purchase a class A ordinary share at $11.50. Each warrant must be excised in full, with no fractional conversions allowed.

According to the filing, Spanish banking giant Santander is listed as the sole book runner. The filing describes KRAK Acquisition as a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination.

Standard Chartered is expanding its digital asset footprint after investing in crypto custodian Zodia Custody and institutional trading platform Zodia Markets.

The London-based lender also offers spot crypto trading for institutional clients, which it launched in July.

Standard Chartered is not the only traditional bank expanding into crypto trading services, with U.S.-based JPMorgan also launching a trading service for institutions last month.

Standard Chartered is expanding its digital asset strategy with plans to launch a prime brokerage service for crypto trading, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

The new service will be set up within the company’s wholly owned venture capital unit, SC Ventures, which analysts believe is a strategy to get around the financial requirements for running a prime brokerage service within its main business.

This is not Standard Chartered’s first foray into crypto, with the company already a major backer of crypto custodian Zodia Custody and institutional trading platform Zodia Markets. The London-based lender also offers spot crypto trading for institutional clients, which it launched in July.

Standard Chartered is not the only traditional bank expanding into crypto trading services, with U.S.-based JPMorgan also launching a trading service for institutions last month.

They are joining a growing list of financial services companies from both the traditional financial markets and crypto that are expanding into prime brokerage and crypto trading services.

Ripple, the crypto infrastructure and settlement layer, acquired Hidden Road for $1.25 billion in April last year. The company has since gone on to launch its prime brokerage service, announced in November.

In June, crypto exchange platform Kraken also introduced a prime brokerage service for institutional investors.

Quick take:

The latest funding brings the total raised to $338 million and comes just four months after its Series B and 10 months after its Series A.

The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand its stablecoin settlement infrastructure to new markets and help additional enterprises go live and scale quickly.

The company offers an end-to-end payments platform that allows companies to work with a single partner to launch compliant stablecoin cards that work everywhere Visa is accepted.

Rain, a stablecoin firm helping businesses integrate stablecoin payments into their systems, has raised $250 million in a Series C round led by global investment firm ICONIQ. The fundraising also attracted participation from Sapphire Ventures, Dragonfly, Bessemer Venture Partners, Galaxy Ventures, FirstMark, Lightspeed, Norwest, and Endeavor Catalyst, the New York-based firm said in an announcement on Friday.

According to the press release seen by NFTgators, the latest funding was closed at a valuation of $1.95 billion. The firm has now raised a total of $338 million, following a $58 million Series B announced in August, a $24.5 million Series A announced in March, and a $6 million seed round secured in 2022.

The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand its stablecoin settlement infrastructure to new markets and help additional enterprises go live and scale quickly.

The company offers an end-to-end payments platform that allows companies to work with a single partner to launch compliant stablecoin cards that work everywhere Visa is accepted.

Commenting on the announcement, Farooq Malik, CEO & Co-founder of Rain, said in a statement: “Stablecoins are quickly becoming the way money moves in the 21st century, but adoption by users worldwide requires cards and apps that just work. In the last year, our active card base has increased 30x, and our annualized payment volume has increased 38x, but we’re still in the early innings. This funding lets us bring that infrastructure to new markets and help additional enterprises go live and scale quickly everywhere.”

The company believes that stablecoins are the future of global payments and value transfer. “The next phase of adoption is about making tokenized money the default way that businesses move funds and consumers get paid, save, and spend,” Rain said, adding that enterprises need an infrastructure that lets them shift to on-chain payment rails while preserving the familiar experiences their users already trust.

Kamran Zaki, Partner at ICONIQ, commented: “In our view, Rain has a rare combination of full-stack technology, regulatory readiness, and real-world scale. Their focus on making tokenized money mainstream, rather than a niche financial experiment, may resonate and align with what large enterprises are looking for as they move from exploration to production.”

Rain claims to facilitate more than $3B in annualized transactions for over 200 partners, including the likes of Western Union, Nuvei, and KAST, adding that programs built on its platform have the potential to reach over 2.5 billion people worldwide.

The Open Maoney Stack allows users to “instantly and reliably move money anywhere, and put it to work.”

The system enables merchants to send and receive money in their preferred currency, with instant conversion taking place in the background.

The Stack is designed to work with different blockchains and can be customized for various applications. 

Polygon Labs has unveiled the Open Money Stack, an integrated modular framework for stablecoin payments and global money transfers. The Stack is expected to launch later this year, according to an announcement on Thursday. 

Polygon, which started out as a scalable layer-2 blockchain on Ethereum, has expanded its service offerings over the years, launching AggLayer, the cross-chain settlement layer that connects the liquidity and users of any blockchain for fast, low-cost interoperability.

“Open and interoperable money ensures that it is usable everywhere, by everyone, on their own terms,” Nailwal and Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron wrote in an announcement on the X platform. “And when used on someone’s own terms, money fades into the background so people are free to focus on living and building, improving their lives.”

The Polygon team believes that the Open Money Stack will move all money in the future for consumers, businesses, and AI agents alike. “Today, on-chain money generally needs to return off-chain to be used. With Open Money Stack, however, money that comes on-chain can stay — and be used — on-chain forever,” the team wrote.

TRES Finance helps crypto companies track their digital asset holdings and asset inflows and outflows from their portfolio.

Its acquisition augments Fireblock’s crypto infrastructure business, which lacks a product to help crypto companies monitor and analyze their crypto holdings in detail.

Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov invested in TRES Finance’s $7.6 million funding round in 2022.

Fireblocks, the crypto infrastructure company helping traditional finance and fintech companies integrate crypto payment rails, has struck a deal to acquire crypto accounting platform TRES Finance. The $130 million deal is structured as cash and equity, according to anonymous sources who spoke to Fortune on Wednesday.

This is Fireblock’s second acquisition in three months, following its reported $90 million purchase of crypto wallet startup Dynamic in October. 

TRES Finance helps crypto companies track their digital asset holdings and asset inflows and outflows from their portfolio. While Fireblocks has established itself as a leading provider of blockchain infrastructure for integrating crypto payments, it lacks a product to help crypto companies monitor and analyze their crypto holdings in detail. The TRES acquisition will help augment that.

Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov, who invested in TRES Finance’s $7.6 million funding round in 2022, believes that given the rising number of crypto companies that are either going public or are seeking to operate within certain boundaries of traditional finance or fintech, TRES Finance can help CFOs and accountants track their assets better.

With TRES, the Fireblocks team believes it will be able to “create a much broader treasury management solution that is kind of full spectrum,” Shaulov said.

Fireblocks was last valued at $8 billion in a $550 million funding round announced in January 2022.

Buck Labs, a crypto company and issuer of a yield-bearing savings coin aimed at holders of dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies like stablecoins, has launched the BUCK crypto token.

While initially priced at $1.00, BUCK is not marketed as a stablecoin and does not maintain a hard dollar peg, according to founder and CEO Travis VanderZanden.

“Every healthy economy needs both a way to spend and a way to save, which is why Buck introduces the SavingsCoin,” VanderZanden said. “Stablecoins have become very good at moving money, but Buck is designed for what happens in between, earning rewards on idle capital.”

The launch comes amid the recent rebound in the crypto market, with the Bitcoin price, which the token is indirectly linked to through Strategy, rising to trade above $94,000 for the first time in over a month.

According to VanderZanden, BUCK is designed for users who want to make predictable returns from crypto without actively trading.“People want a simple way to earn rewards in crypto without becoming speculators,” he said. “Buck is designed to make saving in crypto more intuitive.”

Polymarket will list and operate the markets while Parcl will provide independent index data and settlement reference values.

Real estate is one of the most fragmented markets in the world, which Parcl’s daily indices try to simplify, allowing a simpler way to trade housing outcomes.

The real-time housing data and on-chain real estate platform offer clear settlement rules and public, auditable resolution data.

Polymarket, one of the leading prediction market platforms, has partnered with Parcl, a real-time housing data and on-chain real estate platform, to introduce housing-focused markets that settle against Parcl’s published price indices, offering a data-driven reference point for forecasting where home prices are headed.

According to the press release seen by NFTgators, Polymarket will list and operate the markets while Parcl will provide independent index data and settlement reference values. The two companies seek to simplify one of the most fragmented industries in the world by leveraging Parcl’s daily indices to enable a simpler way to trade housing outcomes.

“Housing is the largest asset class in the world, but it’s still hard to express a clean view on price direction without taking on property-level complexity, leverage, or long timelines,” the companies wrote in an announcement on Monday.

The companies believe they can provide clear settlement rules and public, auditable resolution data powered by Parcl’s daily indices with Polymarket’s event-market structure.

“Prediction markets are gaining substantial momentum and represent a paradigm shift in how views are expressed, and truth is identified,” said Trevor Bacon, CEO of Parcl. “Parcl is the source of truth for real-estate pricing, and we believe real estate should be a major category within the prediction-market ecosystem. Polymarket is a pioneer in the space, and we’re excited to partner with them.”

The partnership will initially focus on major U.S. housing markets, with template questions tied to index movements across defined periods, like whether a city’s home price index finishes up or down over a month, quarter, or year, as well as threshold-style outcomes that settle against published index values.

The first rollout will be in phases, starting with high-liquidity cities and adding more metros depending on user demand.

Matthew Modabber, CMO of Polymarket, commented: “Parcl’s daily housing indices give us a strong foundation to launch housing markets that settle transparently and consistently. Real estate should be a first-class category in prediction markets, and this partnership is how we get there.”

The company plans to acquire a 60.5% stake from NXC, Korbit’s largest shareholder, and another 31.5% stake from SK Planet, its second-largest shareholder.

Korbit is South Korea’s fourth-largest cryptocurrency exchange platform by volume, with about $11.8 million 24-hour volume.

The acquisition talks have sparked speculation that the deal could disrupt the market domination of Upbit and Bithumb in the country.

Mirae Asset Financial Group is reportedly planning to acquire a 92% stake in the cryptocurrency exchange company Korbit.

According to the report by Korea Times, the company plans to acquire a 60.5% stake from NXC, Korbit’s largest shareholder, and another 31.5% stake from SK Planet, its second-largest shareholder, at a total cost of 140 billion won (approximately $97 million).

If the deal goes through, the purchase will be led by Mirae Asset Consulting, the group’s real estate and consulting affiliate. It is Mirae Asset Financial Group’s biggest unit in the corporate structure, which includes securities, asset management, venture capital, life insurance, and pension operations.

Korbit is South Korea’s fourth-largest cryptocurrency exchange platform by volume, with about $11.8 million 24-hour volume, way below Upbit’s $1.2 billion and Bithumb’s $475 million, as per CoinGecko data.

The acquisition talks have sparked speculation that the deal could disrupt the market domination of Upbit and Bithumb in the country. Korbit and Bithumb control about 95% of South Korea’s crypto market, with Coinone, Korbit, and GOPAX sharing the remainder.

According to the report, founder Park Hyeon-joo, who is now the global strategy officer for the company, has been exploring opportunities in businesses that connect traditional finance with digital assets globally. 

A bid would be “in line with Park’s vision for digital asset-based financial innovation,” according to an industry official.
