Blockchain developer Movement Labs is raising fresh capital in a round that could fetch $100 million and value the startup at $3 billion, a source familiar with the matter told Blockworks.
The Series B round is being led by crypto-focused investor CoinFund, with participation from the digital asset arm of London-based investment firm Brevan Howard, the source said.
Spokespeople for CoinFund and Brevan Howard did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Startups in the crypto space are regaining favor among investors as regulatory pressures ease and the market rebounds from its post-FTX crisis lows.
Venture firms are also growing more comfortable with signing big checks as a recovery in dealmaking and initial public offerings, spurred by interest rate cuts, provides them with greater opportunities to exit their investments.
Global venture capital dealmaking activity rose more than 5% to $368.5 billion last year, according to a report by PitchBook.
Movement Labs, which raised $38 million in its previous funding round a year ago, plans to use the funds from the current round to improve its product, expand its footprint in the Asia Pacific region and hire an additional team.
Founded in 2022 by Vanderbilt University dropouts Cooper Scanlon and Rushi Manche, Movement Labs is building a blockchain that they claim is more accessible, fast and convenient. The company also released its native token, MOVE, last month.
