Partior, a fintech settlement firm, renowned for its financial service expertise has recently announced a remarkable milestone in its funding trajectory.
The firm revealed it has successfully reeled in a whopping $60 million in its Series B funding round. This impressive feat was orchestrated by Peak XV Partners along with new investors like Valor Capital Group and Jump Trading Group.
The firm was originally established by finance giants such as JPMorgan, DBS, and Sematek in 2021. Together, the trio including Standard Chartered had received support to make the funding series a success.
Plans For Partior Funding
In a blog post, the firm revealed its plans to use the funding to support the company’s global unified ledger.
Primarily, the ledger acts as a blockchain-based bridge that facilitates real-time, cross-border, multi-currency clearing and settlement for financial institutions like banks and payment service providers.
Investing the funding into the ledger will bolster Partior’s international network expansion and the incorporation of additional currencies aside from its current operations on USD, EUR, and SGD.
The successful closure of this second funding batch is a testament to the firm’s strong position in the industry. It also validates its potential in the crypto space and solidifies its future growth plans.
Funding Trends in the Crypto Industry
Serval crypto firms often raise funds for different purposes, but majorly it is to drive innovation and expand their operations in the crypto industry.
Earlier this month, UniSat Wallet, the largest Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 secured a substantial, though not undisclosed amount in its Pre-A funding round led by Binance Exchange.
Notably, Morgan Creek Digital recently mulls an ambitious plan to raise $500 million. It claims the funding will be used for revolutionizing the Web3 world.
Cross-Border Payments Revolutionizing the Digital World
Partior was launched to streamline cross-border payments, trade transactions, and foreign exchange settlements by minimizing friction and delays.
Similarly, it was reported recently that Russia is considering the idea of incorporating stablecoin into its upcoming legislative bill. This will potentially pave the way for its official use as cross-border payments in the country.
Notably, the Central Bank Digital Currency had outlined the advantages of cross-border payments during his address at the World Economic Forum in Davos early this year.
