Welab's funding amount... to be honest, it's a bit surprising. HSBC and Prudential have both invested, it seems traditional finance is starting to get scared.

Welab's recent funding round is impressive; HSBC and Prudential stepping in show that traditional finance is also starting to invest in the future. Asian fintech is really taking off.

$220M is solid, but tbh the real question is what's the validator attrition looking like on their infrastructure? institutional money doesn't guarantee network resilience...
