Blockchain startup Casper Labs raised $ 14.5 million from a major Wall Street investor

Casper Labs, a blockchain startup, raised $ 14.5 million as part of the Series A funding round led by investment firm Acuitas Group Holdings. It is reported by Coindesk .

Investors include Arrington XRP Capital, Consensus Capital, Axiom Holdings Group, Digital Strategies, MW Partners, Blockchange Ventures, Hashkey Capital and Distributed Global.

Note that Acuitas Group Holdings belongs to the financier Terren Peizer (Terren Peizer), which some call one of the key players on Wall Street.

The funds will be used to create a scalable PoS blockchain based on Casper and attract developers. In the coming months, the startup will allegedly present several “interesting” technical updates.

Recall that in winter, Casper Labs attracted Vlad Zamfira, the lead developer of the Casper protocol, to the project as a consultant.

Despite the cooperation, Zamfir himself repeatedly emphasized that he was neither the head of the startup, nor its employee, and had never been.

I don't lead (and have never led) CasperLabs …
