TruFin Secures Strategic Investment Led by SC Ventures to Pioneer Institutional Onchain Yield Standards

TruFin, a global fintech leader in onchain infrastructure, has secured a strategic investment led by SC Ventures, the venture arm of Standard Chartered.

The funding round features participation from FalconX and Road Capital, alongside existing investors such as Brevan Howard Digital and Digital Currency Group.

Building the Institutional Yield Standard for Onchain Markets

This capital infusion enables TruFin to establish trusted standards by combining permissioned access points with policy-aligned workflows for permissionless assets.

The funds will expand offerings beyond liquid staking into tokenized RWA yield and curated, risk-defined strategies through a consistent institutional framework.

Institutional interest in onchain yield is surging, demanding governance, security, and transparent processes that align with regulated custody models.

Leadership Vision and Strategic Impact

Matt Molloy, CEO and Co-Founder of TruFin, emphasized the need for reliable processes and controls to meet institutional demands for onchain exposure.

Harald Eltvedt of SC Ventures praised TruFin as a vital complement to their digital asset ecosystem, bridging regulated banking and onchain finance.

TruFin's history includes forging partnerships across traditional finance and digital assets to deliver scalable onchain solutions.

The investment accelerates roadmap execution, enhancing controls, security, and integrations with custodians, exchanges, and platforms.

Looking ahead, this positions TruFin to broaden access, fortify transparency, and define enterprise-grade DeFi vaults for global institutions.

Overall, the deal underscores the maturation of onchain markets, fostering innovation while prioritizing regulatory compliance and operational resilience.
