Amber International Secures $25.5M Funding to Supercharge $100M Crypto Reserve Plan

Crypto heavyweight Amber International just pocketed $25.5 million in fresh funding—and they’re doubling down on a $100 million crypto reserve strategy that’s got Wall Street side-eyeing the play.

Why it matters: While traditional finance clings to its spreadsheets, Amber’s betting big on digital assets as the new reserve currency. The move screams confidence (or recklessness, depending on which hedge fund manager you ask).

The strategy: Hoard crypto like a dragon with a cold wallet. The $100 million reserve plan aims to weather market storms while competitors sweat over Fed rate decisions.

Bottom line: In a world where banks still charge $35 for overdrafts, Amber’s playing 4D chess with a blockchain twist. Whether this moons or crashes harder than a DeFi rug pull remains to be seen—but it’s sure as hell more exciting than your 401(k).
