Talking point: Cayman Islands-based Ether.Fi is a liquid staking protocol, providing people with a receipt token when they stake, or lock up in exchange for rewards, their crypto assets. Silagadze, co-founder and former CEO of the Canadian edtech company Top Hat, pivoted to liquid staking after his crypto hedge fund Gadze Finance lost US$5.4 million held on FTX, which collapsed in November 2022. This is Ether.Fi’s second fundraise, following a seed round around a year ago. Silagadze said the fundraise is the first large DeFi deal since staking protocol EigenLayer raised US$50 million last March. “It’s a positive sign,” he said.
