Polygon’s Miden Locks $25M War Chest—Wall Street Finally Wants Its Privacy Cake and Speed Too
Zero-knowledge proofs meet institutional adoption as Polygon’s spin-off Miden lands heavyweight backing. The privacy-focused L2 solution just secured $25 million in funding—because apparently banks now care about confidentiality (when it’s profitable).
Speed demons get their fix: Miden’s VM claims 10,000 TPS, leaving legacy finance gasping in the dust. Meanwhile, the usual VC suspects circle—because nothing says ’decentralization’ like Sand Hill Road writing the checks.
Final thought: Watch how fast ’institutional-grade blockchain’ becomes consultant buzzword bingo—right after they finish explaining why they need private chains to ’protect client assets’ from... *checks notes*... transparency.
