Finst just raised €8 million to expand its AFM-regulated crypto platform across 30 EU countries, grow staking with “higher yields,” and broaden assets as the major cryptocurrencies are having a really bad day. Because nothing says “success” like a 24-hour market crash.
deeper yield products aimed at retail and a more sophisticated suite for professional and institutional accounts. With AFM oversight already in place, Finst is effectively betting that regulated staking and broader asset coverage will attract users disillusioned with off-shore venues. Because nothing says “we’re different” like a Dutch regulator and a bunch of tired investors.
Market backdrop and crypto prices
The raise lands against a choppy market session for major tokens. On ChainCatcher’s own ticker, Bitcoin (BTC) was recently quoted at 88,598.99 dollars, down 2.94% over the last 24 hours, while Ethereum (ETH) traded at 2,937.65 dollars, off 5.66% in the same period. Binance’s BNB token stood at 868.18 dollars, down 5.15%, with XRP (XRP) at 1.89 dollars (‑2.22%) and Solana (SOL) at 127.00 dollars (‑1.80%). Because nothing says “I’m a confident investor” like watching your portfolio tank.
Other large caps were also in the red: TRON (TRX) changed hands at 0.2954 dollars (‑2.60%), Dogecoin (DOGE) at 0.1228 dollars (‑2.17%) and Cardano (ADA) at 0.3537 dollars (‑1.50%). One notable outlier was Bitcoin Cash (BCH), which traded at 591.50 dollars, up 2.23% over the past day. Because why be part of the crowd when you can be the standout star?
