Relai raises $2.5M at $90M valuation to expand in EU and invest in AI and security.
VC & Fundraising ·
Relai, a crypto platform, has raised $2.5 million in funding at a $90 million valuation. The round will support the company's expansion across Europe, alongside investments in artificial intelligence capabilities and security infrastructure. Relai's announcement detailed the allocation across these three strategic priorities.
The timing of Relai's funding push reflects broader momentum in the EU crypto market, where regulatory clarity under MiCA has created clearer pathways for licensed operators. The European Union's layered regulatory system requires crypto businesses to navigate licensing frameworks, anti-money-laundering rules, and sanctions enforcement across member states—a process that increasingly rewards firms with robust compliance and security postures.
What remains unclear is the specific investor composition in this round, the timeline for EU expansion milestones, and which AI-driven features Relai plans to develop. The announcement also does not specify whether this capital will fund hiring, technology development, or both.
