Vauld has received an investment of USD 25 million in Series A funding, led by Valar Ventures, Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, CMT Digital, Gumi Cryptos, Robert Leshner, Cadenza Capital and others also participated in the round. The funding will be used to support the company’s international growth and licensing as well as expand its retail crypto banking and investing platform.




Darshan Bathija, Vauld Co-Founder and CEO, said the company has seen great momentum and attributes it to technology and customer support. “That’s our strongest suit and it’s proven because when customers start using Vauld, they don’t leave. This capital will help propel Vauld to the next level. We built a platform that is truly user-first and we are humbled that Valar Ventures shares in our vision.”

Bathija highlighted that the company has seen more than 200x growth in its global user base over the last year. “We have a clear foothold in India and Valar’s investment is a true testament  to the optimism we share for the large and emergent Indian market.”

Andrew McCormack, Valar Ventures, said their focus is on transformative financial services companies. “What cemented the deal is Vauld’s global positioning and ambitions and the vision Darshan and his team have for building their customer’s wealth through crypto. We look forward to Vauld benefitting from our team’s expertise in understanding how to build a global business across emerging tech hubs in Europe, Asia and North America.”
