Curvance introduces a new, efficient approach for users to yield farm and maximize yield on their DeFi investments

Curvance, a full-service omnichain money market for yield-bearing, LSDfi, tokenized treasuries, and primitive assets, announces the close of a $3.6M seed round supported by Offchain Labs, Wormhole, prominent angel investors including Polygon Co-Founder Sandeep Nailwal, and core contributors from Scroll, Mantle, Eigenlayer, GMX, Curve Finance, Convex Finance, Balancer, Aura Finance, and Pendle Finance. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) such as Frax Finance and others also contributed to the round.

Founded in 2022, Curvance is the “everything app” for lending and borrowing, providing decentralized finance (DeFi) users with an all-encompassing way to manage any of their assets, eliminating fragmentation and barriers to entry in the ecosystem.

“Curvance will give users of any blockchain an easy route to participate in Polygon DeFi, with the potential to make onboarding easier than ever. As DeFi on Polygon zkEVM and Polygon CDK continue to gain momentum, reducing friction into DeFi opportunities is more powerful than ever,” says Sandeep Nailwal from Polygon.

By tapping into omnichain infrastructure, Curvance is able to support Ethereum, as well as numerous partner chains simultaneously such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Scroll, Base, and Polygon zkEVM. Curvance’s cross-functional omnichain design unlocks capital efficiency not possible prior, working in tandem with Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) like Curve, Balancer, Velodrome, GMX, Pendle, and other assets such as Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs).

“With this funding round, Curvance will be able to expand on its value proposition of bringing forward a more approachable money market experience for both DeFi newcomers and experienced yield farmers and traders alike “ says Curvance Co-Founder, Chris Carapola. “We are excited to have attracted a group of investors who bring incredible experience and are ready to work with us toward our shared vision.”

Carapola says the raised capital will be used to continue Curvance’s operations costs, support continued security audits, as well as maintain and hire more in-house talent for the project.

“When we started looking for funding, we chose to talk to our partners first, instead of just going to venture capital firms,” commented Curvance Co-Founder Michael Butcher. “This way, we ended up with a group of investors who care about our long-term success. We’re happy with how it turned out and can’t wait to launch Curvance on testnet soon.”

About Curvance

Curvance is a full-service omnichain money market for yield-bearing assets. Users can collateralize, leverage, and boost asset rewards across DeFi, with optimal efficiency, and consolidate DeFi yield across various assets such as AMM LPs, Perpetual Exchange LPs, interest-bearing stablecoins, and more, in one user interface.

3iQ Digital Assets (US), subsidiary of 3iQ Corp., one of the world’s leading digital asset managers, today announces a significant advancement in the digital asset management space. The company has launched the industry’s first comprehensive suite of crypto hedge fund managed accounts through the 3iQ Managed Account Platform (QMAP). The platform will launch with $50 million of capital from 3iQ and institutional investors.

As the first platform of its kind, QMAP connects institutions with digital asset alpha strategies in a secure, transparent, and efficient framework. QMAP is led by Louis LaValle, a seasoned industry veteran with over 20 years’ experience investing in hedge funds and structuring managed accounts for institutional investors.

Louis LaValle, head of QMAP and 3iQ’s institutional investment division, says: “The shift towards active management in digital assets is evolving rapidly, and crypto hedge funds are at the forefront. We’re witnessing a repeat of the growth seen by their traditional counterparts in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Over the last decade, traditional hedge funds have seen a decline in alpha generation. Now, the trading talent and infrastructure in traditional finance is shifting towards crypto to capitalize on the market’s maturing infrastructure and structural inefficiencies. It’s a defining moment for the industry and for discerning investors to tap into unique alpha opportunities only available in digital asset markets.”

QMAP stands out as the digital asset industry’s first buy-side multi-manager hedge fund managed account platform. As opposed to sell-side investment marketplaces that typically offer a wider array of investment choices with due diligence left to the end-investor, QMAP adopts a proactive approach that incorporates a thorough process for sourcing, selecting, and approving investment strategies before making them accessible to investors. 3iQ has evaluated over 100 crypto hedge fund managers and has selected a subset of 9 as best-in-class for their consistent alpha generation and superior risk management.

LaValle added: “We’re in search of exceptional teams that have a clear, identifiable competitive edge in the market. Our criteria are stringent. We prioritize institutional pedigree, specialized expertise, exceptional operational capabilities, performance consistency and, most importantly, integrity. After an extensive due diligence process, we selected those we consider the best in their strategy categories. These managers are leveraging their decades of traditional investment experience to innovate within the digital asset markets. Many of them have extensive track records successfully navigating through multiple crypto market cycles.”

The platform offers a range of strategies, each managed by experienced crypto hedge fund professionals, including Long Biased, Long/Short, Quantitative, Relative Value, and Event Driven. The strategies available on QMAP are:

• 3iQ Absolute Return
• 3iQ All Weather
• 3iQ BTC 25
• 3iQ Digital Alpha
• 3iQ Digital Lending
• 3iQ ETH 25
• 3iQ Multi-Factor
• 3iQ Relative Value Arbitrage
• 3iQ Systematic Alpha

QMAP’s managed account structure is an ideal fit for institutional allocators seeking multi-manager exposure. Managed accounts allow for direct control over assets, the ability to customize investment strategies, and enhanced transparency and risk management, positioning them as a practical alternative to traditional fund-of-funds, which often lack those features.

Key investor benefits of QMAP include:

• Full operational control of assets with investment decision-making delegated to managers.
• Real-time overview of investment risks and exposures with 100% position-level transparency.
• Institutional-grade infrastructure that effectively minimizes counterparty and operational risk.
• Pre-negotiated terms with managers with no double layer of fees to access the platform.
• Options to customize investment allocation or use 3iQ model portfolios at no additional cost.

“Our objective with QMAP is to create a platform that offers attractive investment strategies while also providing the much-needed operational familiarity and trust needed in today’s digital asset landscape,” said LaValle. “Investors also have the flexibility to build multi-manager portfolios independently or leverage 3iQ’s model portfolios for allocation oversight. This makes QMAP not just a platform, but a comprehensive solution that helps bridge the gap for institutional allocators.”

FatBrain AI (the “Company,” or “we”), the leader in powerful and easy-to-use AI solutions for enterprise stars of tomorrow, today announced putting systems in place to automate international audit compliance.

FatBrain AI has realized 130% Q/Q average revenue growth during FY2023, including from the strategic international acquisitions during that time. While these acquisitions had accounting processes and audit firms in place in their ordinary course of business, FatBrain’s consolidated year-end reporting has required new processes under the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regime. These complexities have posed the main hurdle to complete the year-end filings. To overcome this, FatBrain AI has initiated a number of safeguards to be put in place, including automating systems and adding team members at the international facilities.

The financial reporting automation efforts are being led by Mr. Niyaz Salybayev, CPA, co-founder of EasyTax SaaS and a 20-year audit and automation veteran with Arthur Anderson, Ernst & Young, and PwC, including his decade and a half tenure as PwC’s CFO for its Eurasian operations.

“We see the revenue and customer growth trends continuing in the fiscal year 2024,” said Peter B. Ritz, Co-Founder and CEO of FatBrain AI. “While we did not anticipate international accounting hurdles and late filings, we are now on a path to fix and manage through these issues systematically. Automating our international systems will ensure that future filings will be timely, and the Company is confident in its current financial reporting. We are grateful for our shareholders’ patience and are delighted to deliver an exciting future boosted by AI solutions.”

HashKey Exchange, Hong Kong’s first licensed retail virtual asset exchange, and imToken, a well-established non-custodial crypto wallet, have forged a strategic partnership to merge the “trusted” and “trustless” elements of the Web2 and Web3 realms within the virtual asset landscape.

Web3 operates on a “trustless” principle, relying on code, incentives, and economic mechanisms, giving users the option to not rely on third party. On the other hand, Web2 offers users a more familiar user experience and enhanced access to traditional financial services that are not yet found in Web3.

Both HashKey Exchange and imToken teams will work closely together to offer a comprehensive, seamless, and secure solution for all users, empowering customers with enhanced choices, elevating user experience to unprecedented levels of safety and convenience.

The seamless flow of value between exchanges and non-custodial wallets is a crucial junction for the Web3 investor experience. Investors seek a combination of non-custodial wallets, fiat on-ramp/off-ramp services, and professional trading capabilities, but the fragmented nature of service providers often hinders their overall experience.

In this strategic partnership, imToken will be appointed as the official non-custodial wallet partner for HashKey Exchange, catering to users who seek self-managed digital assets. As one of the first recipients of the virtual asset license from the Hong Kong SFC, HashKey Exchange will offer imToken users a trusted platform to trade virtual assets where direct bank transfers for fiat on and off ramp are supported.

We firmly believe that this collaboration will serve as a catalyst, synergizing the trusted attributes of HashKey Exchange’s regulatory compliance with imToken’s proven track record in security within the trustless nature. Together, we bridge the gap between fiat and digital assets, custodial and non-custodial solutions, and facilitate the unrestricted flow of value under a robust and secure framework.

Livio Weng, COO of HashKey Group, said, “We are excited to partner with imToken, a renowned name in the decentralized wallet space. By combining HashKey Exchange’s regulated trading platform with imToken’s secure and trustless capabilities, we aim to bring virtual asset management experience to the next level.”

Ben He, CEO and Founder of imToken, said, “Our collaboration with HashKey Exchange represents a significant step forward in creating a seamless and secure ecosystem for Web3 enthusiasts. Together, we empower users to take control of their assets while ensuring they have access to a trusted fiat gateway for a holistic Web3 experience.”

On a mission to set the bar for virtual asset exchanges in compliance, safety, and security, Hash Blockchain Limited (HashKey Exchange) is Hong Kong’s first licensed virtual asset exchange for retail users.
