There have been quite a few investments lately, especially for four cryptocurrency projects. Here are the details…
Cryptocurrency project raised $17 million
Thetanuts Finance, a DeFi product protocol, has raised $17 million in a corporate funding round to expand Decentralized Option Vaults (DOVs). The tour concluded with the leadership of Polychain Capital, Hyperchain Capital and Magnus Capital. Thetanuts Finance aims to create a two-way market for more diverse asset offerings. It also plans to launch a buyer-side altcoin options market using DOVs. This gives DeFi traders access to leverage through altcoin options. Apart from that, it will allow them to buy options 24/7 without permission.
DOVs combine an automatic market maker (AMM) and money market with its base layer. Thus, it allows traders to speculate on altcoin option prices and arbitrage opportunities. The company plans to accelerate the adoption of altcoin options markets in Blockchain ecosystems. It also aims to create new markets for DeFi users, opportunities for institutions and other investors. Thetanuts Finance aims to partner with leading L1 and L2 networks and their founders. In addition, it plans to establish partnerships with leading liquidity, market makers and exchange platforms. The new buyer-side altcoin options market powered by DOVs will soon enter the market in beta.
