以加密货币为重点的主要经纪公司August正在寻求使投资者更容易获得各种Defi，这是分散融资的缩写

Crypto-focused prime brokerage firm August has raised $10 million in a Series A funding to make it easier for investors to access decentralized finance (DeFi).

以加密货币为中心的总经理公司August筹集了1000万美元的A系列资金，使投资者更容易获得分散的财务（DEFI）。

The investment round was led by Dragonfly Ventures, with participation from SCB Limited, 6th Man Ventures, and Foresight Ventures. August's valuation in the funding round was not disclosed.

投资回合由Dragonfly Ventures领导，SCB Limited，第六人Ventures和Foresight Ventures的参与。尚未披露8月在资金回合中的估值。

August works with large financial institutions, such as hedge funds and family offices, providing them with yields and returns on their crypto investments through lending, borrowing, and trading.

August与大型金融机构（例如对冲基金和家庭办事处）合作，通过贷款，借贷和交易为他们的加密货币投资提供收益和回报。

Aya Kantorovich, co-CEO of August, highlighted the company's unique role in simplifying institutional investors' experience with DeFi.

八月联合首席执行官Aya Kantorovich强调了该公司在简化机构投资者在Defi的经验方面的独特作用。

"We're really trying to be the first place that they go to and the last place they need to go," Kantorovich told Fortune.

坎托洛维奇告诉《财富》：“我们真的很想成为他们去的第一个地方，也是他们需要去的最后一个地方。”

While August integrates 70 DeFi protocols and 13 blockchains, institutions typically prefer to engage with one entity. To cater to this need, August acts as a middleman, aggregating various DeFi networks like Aave, Morpho, and Uniswap for lending, derivatives, and token trading.

八月集成了70个DEFI协议和13个区块链，而机构通常更喜欢与一个实体互动。为了满足这一需求，八月充当了中间人，汇总了各种Defi网络，例如AAVE，Morpho和Uniswap用于贷款，衍生品和代币交易。

"They don't want to deal with the complexity of chains and protocols. They just want to have one place where they can go and get everything they need," Kantorovich explained.

坎托洛维奇解释说：“他们不想处理链条和协议的复杂性。他们只想在一个可以去的地方获得所需的一切。”

In doing so, August also handles the administrative burden, allowing clients to pay for their loans, derivative positions, and trades all at once, instead of putting money down for each individual position.

在此过程中，August还可以处理行政负担，允许客户为其贷款，衍生职位支付并立即进行交易，而不是为每个职位投入资金。

August generates most of its revenue through trading spreads—the difference between the price a token is bought at and the price it is sold at—and charges its clients trading fees on each transaction. Kantorovich declined to disclose the company’s annual revenue.

August通过交易价差（以代币购买的价格和以其出售价格的价格之间的差额）产生了大部分收入，并收取每笔交易的客户交易费用。坎托维奇拒绝透露公司的年收入。

August is not the only crypto-focused prime brokerage. Coinbase has a division that caters specifically to large institutional clients, known as Coinbase Prime. FalconX is another well-known brokerage in the space.

八月并不是唯一以加密为重点的主要经纪人。 Coinbase的部门专门针对大型机构客户，称为Coinbase Prime。 Falconx是该领域的另一个著名经纪人。

With the fresh capital, August plans to build out its marketing strategy, hire more employees, and continue developing new technology. The company previously raised $6 million in a seed round in 2023.

凭借新的资本，August计划制定其营销策略，雇用更多员工并继续开发新技术。该公司此前在2023年筹集了600万美元的种子轮。
