APRO Oracle Secures $3M in Seed Round Led by Polychain Capital, Franklin Templeton, ABCDE Capital

Tortola, British Virgin Islands, October 8, 2024

APRO Oracle, a leading provider of decentralized oracle services for the Bitcoin ecosystem, has raised $3 million in a seed funding round led by Polychain Capital, Franklin Templeton, and ABCDE Capital. The round also saw participation from CMS Holdings, Comma3 Ventures, UTXO Ventures, Oak Grove Ventures, Presto Labs, and others.

The funding will support APRO Oracle’s continued product innovation and market expansion. The company’s Oracle 3.0 technology, which combines Bitcoin-grade security with fast response times, is positioned to meet the growing demand for decentralized applications (dApps) across multiple blockchains. APRO Oracle currently operates on over 15 blockchains and provides price feeds for more than 140 assets.

“APRO Oracle has addressed a significant gap in the Bitcoin ecosystem, providing a secure, responsive oracle service designed for decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and other applications,” Polychain Capital said in a statement. “Its Oracle 3.0 product offers lower latency and reduced costs compared to traditional oracle services, giving it a competitive edge.”

BMAN from ABCDE Capital echoed similar sentiments, calling APRO Oracle’s rapid rise as the top oracle provider in the Bitcoin ecosystem “pivotal.” He added, “In just three months, APRO Oracle has emerged as the leading oracle service for Bitcoin-based DeFi. We are excited to support their continued growth.”

APRO Oracle’s funding marks a notable milestone for the company, as it becomes the first Bitcoin-focused oracle to receive backing from Franklin Templeton, a licensed ETF institution. The inclusion of prominent investors such as Polychain Capital underscores APRO Oracle’s potential to drive significant innovation in the decentralized finance space.

APRO Oracle’s product offerings support a wide array of protocols, including Bitcoin L1, Bitcoin L2s, Ordinals, Runes Protocol, Lightning Network, and EVM-compatible chains. These solutions are designed to enhance project development and unlock liquidity for emerging ecosystems.

The company plans to expand its team and product offerings in the coming months, with a focus on fueling large-scale growth in Bitcoin liquidity and decentralized finance.
