GEM Global Yield, a direct lending fund, completed a $110m investment in 5ire, a developer of a sustainability-driven blockchain platform. "This infusion of capital from GEM is aligned with 5ire's vision of going public. We had successfully closed an oversubscribed seed round of $21m which took our valuation to $110m within two months of incorporation. We are really excited about this $100m investment from GEM as it is a testimony to the market confidence in our offering. This is a humbling moment for the founding team, as this shows that we are on the right track. We are grateful to all our investors for the trust shown in 5ire and our mission of embedding the for-benefit paradigm into the heart of blockchain," Pratik Gauri, 5ire CEO and Co-Founder.
