🏛️ BitcoinOS Raises $10M to Expand Bitcoin’s Institutional Infrastructure

BitcoinOS (BOS), a project positioning itself as the "operating system reimagining Bitcoin for digital economies," successfully secured $10 million in strategic funding from prominent investors, including Greenfield Capital, FalconX, and the Bitcoin Frontier Fund. The primary goal of this capital injection is to expand the "BTCFi" (Bitcoin-based DeFi) institutional infrastructure. The overarching vision is to transform Bitcoin from its traditional role as a passive Store of Value (SoV) into an active and foundational infrastructure for global Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

The London-based BOS project has already achieved significant milestones, notably verifying ZK Proofs (Zero-Knowledge Proofs) on Bitcoin's mainnet, enabling bridgeless cross-chain transfers, and launching Grail Pro—an institutional-grade yield protocol designed for institutions seeking returns from their self-custodied BTC holdings.

The funding rounds attracted a mix of established blockchain VCs and key figures from the traditional finance world, such as Paul Taylor of ex-Blackrock Private Equity Partners and Nathan McCauley CEO of Anchorage Digital. Their participation underscores the belief that BitcoinOS can effectively bridge the gap between the oldest digital asset and the institutional financial ecosystem.

BOS plans to channel the funds into accelerating the development of its Bitcoin-native protocols, including Grail Pro and Charms, to truly turn Bitcoin into a unified digital economy. This move signals a significant evolution within the Bitcoin ecosystem, emphasizing the creation of sophisticated, high-performance functionality rather than mere passive storage.
