Recently Funded Crypto Projects Making Waves

The crypto space continues to attract significant investment, with several promising projects securing funding in recent months. Here are some of the standout projects that recently raised capital:

🔹 Plasma
Plasma, a startup building a blockchain specifically designed for stablecoin payments, raised $20 million in a Series A funding round. Their goal is to develop a Bitcoin sidechain with Ethereum-like programmability, aiming to solve existing limitations in stablecoin transactions.

🔹 World Liberty Financial
Backed by the Trump family, World Liberty Financial is launching a new stablecoin called USD1. Pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, it will be backed by short-term Treasury bonds, dollar deposits, and cash equivalents. This move signals growing mainstream interest in crypto-backed financial products.
