Fnality, a blockchain startup nestled in the foggy embrace of the U.K., has not merely raised funds but orchestrated a symphony of greed, securing a $136 million Series C round. The usual suspects-Wisdom Tree, Bank of America, Citi, KBC Group, Temasek, and Tradeweb-led the charge, their wallets heavier than their consciences. Lest we forget, the old guard-Banco Santander, Barclays, BNP Paribas, DTCC, Euroclear, Goldman Sachs, ING, Nasdaq Ventures, State Street, and UBS-also joined the feast, their hands outstretched like beggars at a tsar’s table. This capital, a mere drop in the ocean of their excess, will fuel the expansion of Fnality’s global bank tokenized settlement network, a monument to the illusion of progress. 🏗️💰
