Investors in the round include Coinbase Ventures, BlockTower, Scytale and L1 Digital. BlockTower’s backing is more than just a simple VC investment, however. The BlockTower credit team has secured approval to be onboarded as a collateral provider to MakerDAO. BlockTower is set to provide $70m in junior capital alongside Maker's contribution of $150m to create a $220m pool on Centrifuge.
