Blueprint Finance Raises Additional $9.5 Million to Build the Next Generation of DeFi Infrastructure Solutions

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 23, 2025--
Today, Blueprint Finance, a multi-chain DeFi infrastructure company and the core developer of both the Ethereum-based Concrete and Solana-based Glow Finance, announced it has raised a fresh $9.5 million in funding led by Polychain Capital, including a strategic investment from Yzi Labs (formerly Binance Labs). To date, Blueprint has raised more than $17 million. This raise includes participation from other leading investment and venture capital firms in the industry, including VanEck, Selini Capital, Portal Ventures, Auros, Halo Capital, Leadblock Bitpanda Ventures, BitGo, and Gate Ventures, among others.
Following last year's $7.5M raise, Blueprint Finance emerged from stealth to launch Concrete, an Ethereum-based protocol building next-generation infrastructure for DeFi-native asset management. The platform enables developers, DAOs, and institutional allocators to launch, manage, and scale composable, tokenized on-chain portfolios, which also serve as the foundation for new derivative assets. Since launching earlier this year, Concrete has released a series of products that include liquidity bootstrapping campaigns for new networks as well as yield strategy vaults that have collectively gained over $650m in TVL. The funds in this round will be used to enable the continued growth of the Concrete and Glow protocols, scale new products, increase institutional adoption, and facilitate go-to-market expansion.
This raise comes on the heels of Blueprint's expansion into the Solana ecosystem with the recent launch of Glow Finance in April. Glow was born from Blueprint's acquisition of Jet Protocol, a Solana-native lending platform, in October 2024, which now serves as the substructure for the Glow protocol. Building upon this layer, Glow will introduce novel mechanisms such as portable margin accounts, automated yield vaults, and staking markets, while continuing to develop new features and soon-to-be-released new products.
'This round of fundraising comes at a time of rapid growth for our team,' said Nic Roberts-Huntley, CEO and co-founder of Blueprint Finance. 'We've shipped two protocols on two of the most important and active ecosystems in DeFi, and this capital gives us the continued ability to build and serve both retail users and institutional-grade investors at scale.'
'The DeFi industry is entering a period of maturation marked by more sustainable growth, better risk management, and a strong focus on usability,' said Josh Rosenthal, general partner at Polychain Capital. 'Blueprint Finance is building protocols designed with institutional-grade security and liquidity considerations in mind. The new era of DeFi, ushered in by protocols like Concrete and Glow, is set to meet the rising demand of an industry transitioning into a foundational component of the broader financial system.'
The Blueprint Finance team is composed of veterans from leading firms in both traditional finance and Web3, including Point72, Morgan Stanley, Consensys, and Coinbase. Additionally, the team has made a number of strategic new hires, including: Chief Growth Officer, Luke Hajdukiewicz, former Head of Sales at EigenLayer; Head of Product, Graeme Barnes, former Head of Product at Maple; Senior Smart Contract Engineer, Haythem Sellami, former Smart Contract Lead at Euler; and Engineering Manager, Gustavo Silva, former Staff Technical Lead at Consensys.

This Air Purifier for Large Rooms Is 75% Off, Amazon Clears Stock and Adds an Extra Coupon

You need an air purifier in large cities where pollution and allergens can affect your health. The best thing about air purifiers nowadays is that they do not take up much space and are silent, yet they make a huge difference in the air quality and health of your home. This particular model is especially effective because it covers a large area (up to 1400 square feet) which is something that cheaper models under $100 usually cannot handle. This air purifier for large rooms is currently being offered on Amazon at an all-time low price of $89, and there is a 15% coupon that brings the price down even more to just $76. It's not every day you can pick up such a high-performance device for a quarter of its regular $299 price. See at Amazon The air purifier has a smart WiFi air quality sensor that uses an onboard PM2.5 sensor to provide real-time air quality feedback. Instead of guessing how clean your air is, you can see the exact level through a color-coded display that changes from green to red depending on pollution levels. With the declining air quality, the purifier automatically speeds up its fan to further purify the air. The filtration system of the air purifier is designed to be highly effective: It uses a 3-stage advanced filter that captures a wide range of airborne particles such as dust, smoke, pollen, pet dander, and unpleasant odors. This thorough filtration process refreshes the air in spaces as large as 1400 square feet every 30 minutes which makes it ideal for bedrooms and living rooms where clean air is a priority. You will also love the user-friendly control panel with three manual fan speeds and an auto mode that adjusts according to the fluctuating air quality. The air purifier also has a child lock feature to avoid accidental resetting which is convenient in households with children or pets. These design considerations provide ease of tailoring your air purification to your needs while prioritizing safety and peace of mind. With the current coupon and clearance from Amazon, this is one of the best times to spend money on a good air purifier. See at Amazon

The Tesla hesitates to make the turn, swerves right and proceeds into an unoccupied lane meant for traffic moving in the opposite direction.
