Tabit Insurance raised $40 million in a funding round. This investment is special because it is backed by Bitcoin (BTC). This means that auditors and regulators can verify the funds in real-time.

Rain, a company that helps connect traditional financial systems with blockchain networks, recently secured $24.5 million in a funding round. With this new investment, Rain has raised a total of $30.5 million. The company wants to make it easier to move funds, including stablecoins, between banks and blockchain platforms. 

Some of the biggest investors in this funding round include Norwest Venture Partners, Galaxy Ventures, and Coinbase Ventures. Rain plans to use the funding to expand its services, improve technology, and reach more customers worldwide. 

CoreSky, a company developing Ethereum-based solutions, also raised $15 million in a Series A crypto investments and funding round. The investment came from Tido Capital and other investors. CoreSky is developing a platform to help launch meme-related digital assets on the Ethereum network. 

The company plans to use the funds to improve its platform and give developers more tools to create and manage digital assets.
