D1 Capital Partners, a global investment firm that deploys capital in both public and private markets, and Spark Capital, a venture capital firm, led a $550m Series E funding round in Fireblocks, a digital asset custody, transfer and settlement platform, with participation from General Atlantic, Index Ventures, Mammoth, CapitalG, Altimeter, Iconiq Strategic Partners, Canapi Ventures, and ParaFi Capital. "Everything that’s happening at the cross-section of DeFi, NFTs, gaming, streaming, and entertainment will be the biggest emerging use cases in the next year and a half. People need to think about infrastructure that’s future-proof to layer more providers into the stack. You want to be agile, and consider whether the platform you’re selecting offers the security, custody, and control over assets that can apply to these use cases," Michael Shaulov, CEO and Co-Founder.
