Alta has raised a $47.5 million Series A round to build a blockchain designed for financial institutions.

The network is meant to combine privacy and compliance controls, two requirements that have often kept banks and other regulated financial firms cautious about using public blockchains.

Why it matters

Financial institutions need to protect client and transaction data while still meeting regulatory obligations. Alta is positioning its chain as infrastructure that addresses both needs at the protocol level, aimed at banks and other financial companies rather than retail users.

The funding adds to a growing field of projects courting traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure built around institutional requirements.

What comes next

The company has not detailed in the available information how the funds will be allocated, which institutions will use the network or when it will launch. Those specifics will determine how Alta compares with other institution-focused chains.
