Nic Carter of Castle Island Ventures led the investment, and Coinbase Ventures, New Form Capital, Daedalus Angels and others participated in the investment. Martin Carrica, co-founder and CEO of Mountain Protocol, said the amount of this round of financing is confidential due to regulatory requirements.
