The funding round saw participation from a variety of investors, including Wise 3 Ventures, Portal Ventures, Asymmetric Capital, AGE Fund, NGC Ventures, CMS Holdings, Newman Capital, VidenVC, and DeGods.

Robin Obermaier, the CEO of Liquidium, expressed that the funds raised would aid the platform in realizing his vision of offering an experience similar to Aave, but on Bitcoin. He envisions Liquidium as a DeFi lending hub on Bitcoin with comprehensive liquidity pools that offer experiences akin to Aave, but on native Bitcoin.


He further stated that this funding round brings them a step closer to creating a platform where users can effortlessly supply liquidity to earn passive income or borrow assets in a secure, overcollateralized manner. He emphasized that they have the team, the investors, and the determination to execute this vision.


As per data from DeFillama, AAVE is the largest Ethereum lending protocol, managing assets worth over $13 billion. The seed funding is intended to bolster Liquidium's growth as a leading Bitcoin lending protocol. This aligns with the recent introduction of its Rune borrowing and lending services, demonstrating its commitment to ongoing enhancement and industry leadership.
