Folks Finance has successfully closed a Strategic Fundraise led by Borderless Capital, at a valuation of $75 Million, lifting the total investments into the protocol to $7.5 Million

. The new round provides the necessary fuel for the launch of a Cross-Chain expansion of the product suite, powered by Wormhole, Chainlink CCIP, and Circle CCTP.

The Folks team will launch its Hub & Spoke lending using Chainlink CCIP, Wormhole, and Circle CCTP to enable cross-chain messaging and transfers. Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, and Arbitrum are set as the initial deployments for April 2024. The team forecasts around 15 chains to be integrated by the end of the year.

The product roadmap also includes the FOLKS governance token, which will be released following the launch of the Cross-Chain expansion.
