As an analyst with a decade of experience in the financial services industry, I find myself impressed and intrigued by the rapid growth and success of Karpatkey. Having witnessed the evolution of blockchain technology and decentralized finance (DeFi) over the years, I’ve seen countless projects rise and fall. However, it is rare to encounter a young company that has managed to garner such recognition and trust within the crypto industry in such a short span.
According to a recent report by The Block, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) financial services and treasury management solutions provider, Karpatkey, has successfully concluded a funding round worth $7 million.
According to the recent announcement, Karpatkey plans to deploy the fresh funds by expanding their services to Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and penetrating traditional financial establishments as well.
The recently completed round involved the participation of notable venture capitalists, including AppWorks Ventures and Wintermute Ventures, as well as prominent angel investors like ConsenSys’ Joe Lubin, Fernando Martinelli from Balancer Labs, and Avara’s Stani Kuchelov, along with several others.
Thanks to the esteemed group of investors who participated in our funding round, it’s clear that Karpatkey has earned a significant level of trust and respect, especially within the realm of cryptocurrency.
Karpatkey: A Growing Force in Treasury Management
Initially, Karpatkey commenced as a project under the umbrella of GnosisDAO back in 2020, primarily designed to oversee their financial resources.
Instead, following the vote by GnosisDAO in June this year, the treasury management service has now been separated as a standalone entity.
Ever since then, the value of Karpatkey’s treasury network has skyrocketed, currently managing assets totaling more than $1.8 billion.
To gain insight into its current achievements, the company’s system has processed more than 10,000 blockchain transactions, including well-known entities in the cryptocurrency industry. Notable clients such as Aave, ENS, MakerDAO, and Uniswap are among those who utilize its services.
Remarkably, I’ve successfully carried out all 10,000 on-chain transactions for my clients, ensuring not a single instance of risk management mishap along the way.
Regarding the rapid expansion of Karpatkey, Marcelo Ruiz de Olano, one of its prominent figures, finds it unsurprising. He pointed out that the unique approach taken by the treasury manager sets it apart from similar entities, contributing to the impressive results it is achieving currently. Here’s what he had to say:
“To achieve that, we had to build expertise in many areas outside traditional asset management.”
Among the various aspects Marcelo emphasized are risk assessment, legal advisory, corporate takeovers (Mergers & Acquisitions, or M&As), and business expansion strategies.
Previously discussed, Karpatkey intends to utilize the recently acquired funds to broaden its reach. Specifically, regarding services offered to Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), and now, potentially including traditional financial institutions as well. It is anticipated that these steps will contribute significantly to its progress towards establishing a dominant position in the DAO treasury management industry.
