Cyber Fund and Blockchain Capital lead $20 million Series A for cross-chain firm OneBalance
Quick Take OneBalance has now raised $25 million in funding to date. The firm intends to use its Series A financing to increase its employee headcount and to expand the functionality of its Toolkit product.
The cross-chain infrastructure development firm OneBalance raised $20 million in Series A financing, bringing its total funding to date to $25 million.
Cyber Fund and Blockchain Capital led the round, which saw additional support from Mirana Ventures and L2IV. As part of the investment, Blockchain Capital general partner Spencer Bogart has joined OneBalance’s board of directors, the company confirmed to The Block.
OneBalance aims to improve the user experience of web3 products through its cross-chain integration product, Toolkit. The product allows developers to enable seamless cross-chain transactions for users — such as transferring assets or earning yield — without requiring them to monitor bridges or gas fees. The firm plans to use its $20 million financing to increase its employee headcount and to expand the functionality of its Toolkit product.
"Stablecoins are quickly replacing bank accounts and bringing millions of users onchain. They expect delightful experiences, not a maze of chains, wallets, bridges to navigate through to complete the most basic actions," OneBalance CEO and co-founder Stephane Gosselin said in a statement. "OneBalance fixes this by offering simple one-click experiences for any chain, any action and any token with unmatched speed, reliability, and cost. We've rethought blockchain development from the node up to maximize value creation for users instead of the status quo of retail extractable value."
OneBalance's leadership includes its co-founder and CEO, Stephane Gosselin, who also co-founded Flashbots , a research and development organization aiming to mitigate the deleterious effects of maximum extractible value ( MEV ) on blockchain technology. Daniel Worsley, the former operations lead at Flashbots, now serves as OneBalance's COO, and Ankit Chiplunkar, a former Coinbase smart contract engineer, is OneBalance's CTO.
In June 2024, OneBalance raised $5 million in seed funding with participation from Consensys, Wintermute, Cobie , and others.

France is engulfed in a new wave of violent protests, with 70,000 security personnel deployed urgently and curfews imposed in multiple cities. Macron admits to mishandling the response. Financial markets have sounded the alarm early — the spread between French and German government bonds has surged to its highest level since the European debt crisis, PMI has fallen below the threshold for expansion, luxury shops have boarded up windows, the Louvre Museum has closed, and Paris City Hall estimates losses of tens of millions of euros. The turmoil also threatens to spread across Europe.

Once frenzied buying, now the "ammunition warehouse" shrinks by 51 trillion KRW! Korean retail investors can no longer afford to buy
In four months, Korean retail investors' "ammunition stockpile" has dropped by 36.5%, returning to levels seen at the beginning of the year. Although retail investors have collectively made net purchases exceeding 75 trillion won, they are still absorbing the sell-off, but the influx of new funds has dried up, and the replenishment rate lags far behind the consumption rate. Combined with the KOSPI plunging nearly 20% this month, continued net selling by foreign investors, and concerns over AI-related credit risks, the Korean stock market may find it difficult to see a sustained rebound in the short term without support from private investors' funds.
