Arch Labs, a Bitcoin infrastructure company, has completed a $13 million Series A funding round led by Pantera Capital with participation from Multicoin Capital, Portal Ventures, OKX Ventures, Big Brain Holdings, CMS Holdings, and Tangent. The funding values Arch Labs at approximately $200 million. The company plans to use the capital to launch ArchVM, a virtual machine designed to introduce smart contract functionality directly into the Bitcoin network, enabling fast, scalable Bitcoin applications without the need for bridges or fractured liquidity. The Arch Network aims to provide Solana-speed rails for Bitcoin apps, supporting a long-term viable Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. The mainnet launch of ArchVM is expected in May 2025. This funding round follows Arch Labs' previous financing, bringing their total raised capital to around $20 million.
