“Tribal is using crypto to fundamentally change the rules of the game for payments and lending. Very few companies can bridge TradFi and DeFi in such an innovative, yet seamless way,” said Shu Nyatta, Managing Partner of SoftBank Latin America Fund, in a press release.
Last month, Tribal raised a $40 million debt round from the Stellar Development Foundation, which brought stablecoin USDC into the Tribal ecosystem. The company said crypto-related products would launch this year but hasn’t provided specifics.
