We are excited to support their efforts in developing high-performance lending markets.”

Echelon’s protocol features advanced functionalities including increased borrowing power on correlated assets, isolated pools for niche asset markets, and direct in-wallet integration for streamlined yield strategies. The platform is designed to target institutional-grade markets while ensuring affordable borrowing rates and innovative yield opportunities.

This funding will help us build additional lending and risk management products, expand to new networks, and provide global access to dollar denominated yields,” said Glen Rose, cofounder of Echelon. “We’re excited to build core primitives on high performance Move-based chains.”

With the new funding, Echelon plans to enhance its offerings by developing strategies backed by treasury and real-world assets (RWAs), implementing cross-chain deposit vaults, and expanding its team of full-stack and smart contract engineers.
