[Chain News] Major developments have emerged in the field of encryption and technology financing. A new type of bank, Erebor, which focuses on serving clients in the digital asset and technology industries, has just completed a $350 million funding round. The investment lineup is quite impressive—led by well-known venture capital firm Lux Capital, with participation from Founders Fund, 8VC, Haun Ventures, and others. The post-funding valuation reached $4.35 billion.

What is more noteworthy is Erebor's progress in regulatory matters. This bank has obtained FDIC deposit insurance approval and holds a preliminary banking license. It is scheduled to officially launch in 2026.

From the background, Erebor has received support from heavyweight figures in Silicon Valley. Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel and Anduril CEO Palmer Luckey are jointly promoting this project. This combination itself indicates something — the traditional high-tech circle is beginning to seriously layout encryption financial infrastructure.

Why is this matter interesting? Because this is not just a financing, but a compliant construction of encryption-friendly banking services within the framework of the existing financial system. FDIC insurance means that user deposits have legal protection, which is a necessity for encryption users. Many projects have been shouting for years about “bridging traditional finance and Web3,” but Erebor seems to really want to see how far it can go.

It's Thiel making moves behind the scenes again; this guy has an incredible instinct. A valuation of 4.35 billion at launch is bound to lead to dumping.
