Alta, an emerging company constructing blockchain architecture for payment businesses and banks, secured $47.5 million in new capital during a Series A financing round.
Index Ventures spearheaded the Series A, elevating Alta’s cumulative capital raised to $80 million, which incorporates a prior $32.5 million seed financing.
Additional participants in the financing include GV, Blackbird Ventures, Capital 49, and Square Peg, according to the enterprise’s Tuesday announcement.
Alta is currently engineering a distributed ledger featuring native compliance and privacy mechanisms, capabilities the firm asserts current networks fail to provide adequately.
“Present-day blockchains are not built to handle the compliance and confidentiality demands of worldwide financial entities,” stated co-founder and chief executive officer Loong Wang.
Payment firm Airwallex has committed as an initial collaborator. Both organizations intend to link Alta’s network with Airwallex’s payment infrastructure, which is capable of managing stablecoin transactions alongside entry into regional fiat rails.
Alta stated that its inaugural offering will assist enterprises in minimizing liquidity locked inside prefunded balances utilizing just-in-time provisioning, simultaneously enabling them to redirect dormant funds toward yield-generating tokenized assets.
The newly acquired capital will support ledger engineering, extra banking alliances, and the recruitment of compliance professionals and software developers. Alta chose not to reveal its corporate valuation.
