    Summary:
  • Exotic Markets has just obtained a significant amount of funding from VCs and other investors. What does this mean for its growth?

DeFi market specialist firm, Exotic Markets has attracted $5 million in investment from a group of venture capitalists and other investors. Key among them are Multicoin and Ascensive Assets, both of whom are lead investors.  Additionally, they have onboarded Animoca Brands, Morningstar, and Solana Capital TPS among other investors.

Exotic Markets is concentrating on expanding the number of structured products available in DeFi. To achieve this, it is leveraging the Solana blockchain. Decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to attract more investors. It is likely to grow further as protocols bring new products and services that cater to a broader demographic.

Due to the network’s speed, reliability, and cheaper fees, Solana has fast become a go-to site for DeFi protocols, products, and services.

The latest round of funding is geared towards enabling Exotic Markets to innovate with new products. The company is particularly keen on offering products never before seen across decentralized platforms.  “We have a long-term vision for the market and focus on supporting projects that offer sustainable value”, said  Ascensive Assets’ Managing Partner Oliver Blakey.

Structured products will open up opportunities for investors to generate yield denominated in stablecoin rather than governance tokens. We view this as a very healthy evolution of the DeFi space.”

In addition, he expressed confidence in the move, stating that it will enable Multicoin to leverage Exotic market’s infrastructure. He hopes that Multicoin will benefit from a richer product portfolio and greater exposure to the crypto market
