The Dallas-based firm announced Thursday it had successfully completed a funding round, with participation from Castle Island Ventures, the Tezos Foundation, CoinShares and Digital Currency Group. The round was led by Moonshots Capital, an early-stage investor that has backed the Slack messaging platform in the past.
Zabo says it can connect bank accounts to crypto wallets using just a few lines of code.
Zabo will use the funding to enhance its engineering capabilities as well as grow its customer base, according to a press release. The company claims its technology is already being used or trialed in a series of applications, including personal finance management tools, decentralized finance platforms and even tax software.
Moonshots Capital general partner Craig Cummings said in a statement that Zabo had "built an incredibly important piece of technical infrastructure that will enable cryptocurrency financial services to touch billions of people."
Christopher Brown, Zabo's co-founder, said in a statement the company's success lies in simplifying the process connecting wallets and banks. Previous attempts to connect cryptocurrencies to traditional finance have been highly technical and complicated.
"Zabo solves this by dramatically reducing the complexity," he said. "We enable leading financial services companies to swiftly and easily integrate into hundreds of leading cryptocurrency wallets with just a few lines of code."
Alex Treece, another co-founder and the company's president, said in a statement the technology could help traditional financial entities interact with cryptocurrencies, which in turn could let these firms "build compelling products ... in order to serve this new generation of customers."
The startup had previously raised a $1 million pre-seed round from Ken Seiff's Blockchange Ventures in early 2018.

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
