We’re thrilled to share a major milestone for Lantern Finance—we’ve secured over $1 million in pre-seed funding to accelerate our mission of making crypto-backed loans safe and accessible across the United States.
A huge thank you to our institutional investors and angels—Orange DAO, Supermoon Ventures, Andover Ventures—for believing in our vision of a secure, compliant, and user-first borrowing experience.

We make it effortless for crypto holders to unlock liquidity without selling their assets. Here’s how:
