Lantern Finance, a financial services and technology company, has secured over $1m in an oversubscribed pre-seed funding round.
The investment round saw participation from institutional and angel investors, including Orange DAO, Supermoon Ventures, and Andover Ventures. The funding will support the development of Lantern’s digital asset-backed lending platform.
Lantern Finance enables users to borrow against their digital assets while receiving funds directly into their bank accounts. The platform provides an alternative to selling digital assets, helping investors access liquidity without triggering taxable events, while maintaining exposure to potential long-term gains.
With the newly raised capital, Lantern Finance plans to scale its platform, expand product offerings, and enhance its security and customer support capabilities.
Commenting on the funding, Lantern Finance co-founder Jung Won Kim said, “We’re incredibly grateful for the overwhelming participation from both institutional investors and angels.
“This milestone not only validates the importance of bridging digital assets to mainstream financial services in a secure, user-friendly manner, but it also positions us to quickly scale, expand, and continue innovating on behalf of our many customers.”
