We’ve got some exciting news to share! Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Arch Lending has successfully raised $75 million to help us build the new standard in crypto-backed loans. This includes an oversubscribed $5 million equity seed round and a whopping $70 million loan debt financing facility.
Our equity round was led by some of the biggest names in the industry—Morgan Creek Digital and Castle Island Ventures—with additional support from Galaxy Ventures, BitGo Ventures, and a few other heavy hitters. This backing is a massive vote of confidence in what we’re building at Arch: a trusted, secure, and client-focused platform for both individuals and institutions.
Speaking of the loan financing facility, we’ve teamed up with Galaxy to fund crypto-backed loans on our platform. Whether you're putting up Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana as collateral, rest assured that your assets are safe with us—we never rehypothecate. We also store your assets securely at regulated custodians such as Anchorage, a Federally Chartered Bank. This facility is designed to scale with demand, and we have plans to expand it even further with more capital partners. Who knows, it might even be securitized down the line!
Dhruv Patel, our Co-Founder and CEO, put it best: “We’ve seen a real surge in demand for borrowing against crypto as the asset class matures. Both individual and institutional investors are looking for a platform they can trust, and Arch is here to deliver just that.”
Our founding team hails from top-tier tech and finance backgrounds—think Bridgewater Associates, Snapchat, Brex, Google, Tinder, and more. We’ve poured that expertise into creating a lending product that doesn’t just meet industry standards but sets new ones.
Mark Yusko, Founder of Morgan Creek Digital and one of our investors, summed up our mission perfectly: “Strong lending firms are the backbone of the global financial system, and they’re crucial for the growth of the digital asset ecosystem. We’re proud to partner with Arch Lending to build one of the foundational lenders in this space.”
Himanshu Sahay, our Co-Founder and CTO, added, “We’ve learned from the successes and challenges of past crypto lenders to create a secure, regulated, and reliable business that’s here for the long run. Our goal is to set new standards and drive growth in the crypto lending industry.”
We’ll be sharing more updates as they come, but in the meantime, you can learn more about what we offer at archlending.com. Whether you’re an individual or an institution, we’re here to help you unlock the full potential of your digital assets.
Thanks for being a part of the Arch community!
Cheers,
The Arch Team
