Valinor, a startup founded by former members of Blackstone's private credit team, has announced the completion of a $25 million seed round of financing. The round was led by Castle Island Ventures, with participation from Susquehanna's crypto division, Maven11, and the founder of TeraWulf. Valinor aims to leverage blockchain and smart contracts to bring private credit processes on-chain, replacing traditional lending workflows that rely on manual labor and spreadsheets. The focus is on 'real economy credit' scenarios rather than solely crypto-native lending. (Fortune) https://(wublock123.com)/news/valinor-seed-funding-25m-founded-by-ex-blackstone-private-equity-58811
