JAN3 has finalized a $5 million seed funding round to support the development and expansion of its AQUA Wallet. Leading the funding was Fulgur Ventures, with additional contributions from Grupo Salinas, Tether, Lightning Ventures, East Ventures, Plan B Fund, Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, and NYDIG. This funding builds on a pre-seed round completed in early 2023, which raised $620,000.
The AQUA Wallet aims to provide a user-controlled platform for transactions between Bitcoin layers and Tether (USDt). With this funding, JAN3 plans to expand its feature set to include credit cards, loans, and localized on/off ramps. As part of the seed round, $1 million will be allocated to create a Bitcoin Treasury of 12 BTC, purchased at an average price of $83,333.33 per Bitcoin. November 2024 figures revealed $11 million in transaction volume, reflecting AQUA’s growing traction.
