The company plans to use the funds to grow by improving operations, hiring key team members, and investing in new business opportunities.

As Valinor grows, it will keep investing with its institutional partners, earning the trust of borrowers and lenders through real results, not just ideas.
“Valinor is well-positioned to transform the credit market, using strong credit practices and digital operations to originate and invest in institutional credit on the blockchain,” said Connor Dougherty, CEO of Valinor. “We appreciate our capital partners’ support as we aim to provide a better credit experience for both borrowers and investors.”
“For a long time, stablecoin-based businesses have had few good credit options,” said Sean Judge, General Partner at Castle Island Ventures. “Valinor’s expertise in credit and blockchain assets puts them in a strong position to drive fintech growth worldwide and bring new lending partners into the market.”
