# TruFin secures strategic investment led by Singapore-based SC Ventures

> TruFin, a global fintech firm, has secured a strategic investment led by SC Ventures, the investment arm of Standard Chartered, with participation from FalconX and Road Capital. This investment aims to establish an institutional yield standard for onchain markets, addressing the rising institutional interest in onchain yield. TruFin plans to use the funds to expand its offerings beyond liquid staking into a broader range of yield opportunities, ensuring governance, security, and transparency for institutional clients. The investment highlights the growing importance of regulated infrastructure in scaling trusted onchain finance.

Global fintech firm TruFin has announced a strategic investment led by Singapore-based SC Ventures, the venture building and investment arm of Standard Chartered, with participation from FalconX and Road Capital.

TruFin said in a statement that the investment supports its mission to establish the institutional yield standard for onchain markets, combining permissioned access points and policy-aligned workflows, with permissionless assets designed for broad onchain utility.

Led by SC Ventures, with participation from FalconX and Road Capital, the strategic investment brings together leading partners from the world of traditional finance, as well as those with extensive reach within the institutional digital asset market.

They join existing investors including Brevan Howard Digital, Digital Currency Group (DCG), Laser Digital and Republic, amongst others.

“Institutions increasingly want onchain yield exposure, but they need a standard they can trust, with defined processes, clear controls, and integrations that fit how they already operate,

“This strategic investment supports our mission to establish the institutional yield standard for onchain markets, and to broaden our offering beyond liquid staking into a wider set of yield opportunities, delivered through a consistent institutional framework,” said Matt Molloy, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of TruFin.

It is noted that institutional interest in onchain yield is rising, but participation at scale requires more than just attractive returns.

Institutions need defined governance, institutional-grade security, and transparent, controlled workflows that match existing custody-first operating models and regulated requirements.

TruFin is building the infrastructure layer and standardized approach that institutions can rely on to access and manage onchain yield with confidence.

TruFin will leverage the investment to accelerate execution against its roadmap to become the institutional yield standard, including expanding beyond liquid staking into a broader set of institutional yield opportunities delivered through the same operating framework.

Its priorities include broader yield coverage under one standard, an extend access from liquid staking into additional yield categories, including tokenized RWA yield and curated, risk-defined strategies, with consistent lifecycle processes across issuance, management, and redemption

They also include institutional controls at the points that matter, strengthening permissioned onboarding, approvals, and policy-aligned workflows, alongside transparency and reporting expectations suited to regulated operations.

They also include security, risk, and operational maturity by investing in audit readiness, monitoring, and resilience to support institutional participation and long-term scale.

They also include integration-led distribution, which deepens integrations with qualified custodians, exchanges, and digital asset management platforms, enabling repeatable access and scalable distribution where institutions already operate.

“TruFin is a strong complement to SC Ventures’ growing digital asset ecosystem as it strengthens the regulated infrastructure needed to scale trusted onchain finance,

“Our investment underscores our belief that enterprise-grade Defi Vaults, like TruFin, will not only define the standard for institutional yield, but will also reinforce the role of our digital assets portfolio as the bridge between regulated banking and the next generation of onchain finance,” said Harald Eltvedt, Venture Building, SC Ventures.
