December 5th, 2025 – Seoul, South Korea
LayerBank has raised $2.3M in its Pre-Seed round, backed by leading builders and strategic partners shaping the next era of decentralized finance.
Participants in the round include Torab Torabi (CEO of Move Industries), Coin Bureau Chinese, DVchain, Taiko, Rootstock, and several prominent angels and ecosystem contributors.
The new capital fuels the development and launch of ULAB, LayerBank’s native token and the foundation of the platform’s long-term value capture and incentive model. Built with ve-boosted rewards, fee-driven value distribution, and sustained buyback-and-lock mechanisms, ULAB is designed to align user participation with the growth of the platform from day one.
In parallel, the funding enables LayerBank to advance its roadmap of intuitive, automated, user-centric DeFi products-allowing users to access sophisticated yield strategies through simple, seamless interfaces.
LayerBank’s Token Generation Event (TGE) will be hosted on Movement Network, making it one of the first ecosystem token launches on the network.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing DeFi innovation and expanding access to deep markets, stable borrowing conditions, and intuitive lending flows for users on Movement.
Ray, CEO of LayerBank, commented: “We’re thrilled to complete our first fundraising round and accelerate the rollout of products that are intuitive, automated, and genuinely useful for everyday users. ULAB will serve as the economic engine of the LayerBank ecosystem, and this milestone brings us closer to unlocking the full potential of our incentive and value-accrual design.”Torab Torabi, CEO of Move Industries added: “LayerBank represents the type of perseverance and loyalty that’s needed to succeed for both an app and for an ecosystem. Although LayerBank is live across multiple chains, they ultimately decided to call Movement, ‘The People’s Chain,’ home. ULAB sets a strong precedent for how projects should approach value accrual back to users, especially in DeFi. We’re proud of LayerBank’s vision and excited to see them bring deep liquidity, RWA access, and intuitive lending products to the Movement ecosystem.”
