Daylight Energy secures $75M to grow its decentralized physical energy network. Framework Ventures leads funding; A16z Crypto, Coinbase Ventures join in. New DayFi protocol links energy infrastructure yields to DeFi investors. Daylight Energy has raised $75 million in new funding to accelerate the growth of its decentralized energy network, marking a major milestone for the startup as it aims to bring blockchain-based innovation to the physical energy infrastructure sector. The round combines both equity and project finance capital, underscoring growing investor interest in decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN). Funding structure and investor participation The $75 million round includes $15 million in equity and $60 million in non-recourse project finance capital, which is secured directly against infrastructure assets, according to CEO Jason Badeaux. This type of financing structure allows repayment from the project’s own cash flows rather than relying on the company’s balance sheet. Framework Ventures led the $15 million equity raise, joined by several notable venture backers including A16z Crypto, Lerer Hippeau, M13, Room40 Ventures, EV3, Crucible Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and Not Boring Capital. The project finance portion was led by Turtle Hill Capital, according to a company statement. Daylight plans to use the new capital to advance its position in the DePIN ecosystem, particularly focusing on decentralized energy distribution. The company previously raised $9 million in Series A funding in 2023, also led by A16z Crypto, which has remained one of its core supporters. Expanding the DePIN vision in energy Founded in 2022, Daylight Energy is developing a decentralized protocol that enables users to connect their energy devices—such as thermostats, batteries, electric vehicles, and solar inverters—to its application. In return, participants earn rewards for contributing to the network’s distributed infrastructure. The concept builds on the growing DePIN movement, which seeks to decentralize ownership and control of physical assets like… The post Daylight Energy raises $75M to expand decentralized energy infrastructure network appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
