Bluprynt Raises $4. 25M to Power On‑Chain Compliance

Bluprynt, a platform that helps digital asset firms stay compliant, has closed a $4. 25 million seed round that attracted more investors than it could accommodate. The lead investor was Valor Capital Group, and the fund also drew support from Cultivation Capital, Robinhood, Coinbase Ventures, Quona Capital, Kazea, Flourish Ventures, Radical Investments and Selah Ventures. Notable individual backers included former banking leaders such as Ricardo Marino of Itaú Unibanco and Edward Wible, co‑founder of Nubank. They sit alongside earlier supporters like Mark Cuban and former regulators Chris Giancarlo and Jelena McWilliams. Bluprynt’s product is a compliance operating system that connects the world of traditional finance with blockchain technology. It links off‑chain regulatory rules to on‑chain identity, policy and monitoring tools, allowing banks, issuers and other institutions to meet legal standards without losing the speed and flexibility that blockchains offer. The system is built with partners from traditional finance, DeFi, central banks and market regulators, aiming to provide governance that keeps pace with the rapid execution of blockchain transactions. The timing is significant: as crypto moves from experimental stages to real‑world use, more banks, asset managers and payment firms are bringing core activities onto blockchains. These entities need infrastructure that satisfies regulators while respecting the technical realities of on‑chain systems—rule‑driven, plug‑and‑play, real‑time operations. Bluprynt’s goal is to bridge that gap by unifying regulatory requirements with enterprise‑grade visibility and programmability.Founder Christopher Brummer notes that “on‑chain finance is shifting from experiments to infrastructure. ” He argues that large institutions need purpose‑built solutions tailored to blockchains, and Bluprynt’s operating system is designed to help them deploy faster while giving regulators confidence. Since its launch, Bluprynt has already made headlines in both industry and policy circles. In 2024 it completed the EU’s first MiCA pilot, and in 2025 introduced a Know‑Your‑Issuer solution through pilots with Paxos and Circle, covering major U. S. stablecoins USDC and PYUSD. The company is also working on a multi‑participant compliance stack with Chainlink, Apex and Hacken for the Bermuda Monetary Authority, and plans to partner with regulators worldwide by year‑end. Valor’s investment leader Bruno Batavia, who previously worked at Brazil’s central bank, praised Bluprynt for creating a “category‑defining layer” that blends regulatory transparency with the streamlined workflows needed by blockchain builders. The new capital will fuel product development, deepen integrations across on‑chain and off‑chain ecosystems, and accelerate deployments with market players and central banks.
