Trinity general partner Schwark Satyavolu has now gained a seat on the Baton board.
Satyavolu noted: “Bank-to-bank settlement today is slow and manual, trapping billions of dollars that could instead be used to grow businesses.
“Baton is completely transforming the global bank payments infrastructure, leveraging the best of blockchain’s potential while mitigating its key concerns.”
With the new capital, Baton intends to speed up the global deployment of its blockchain-powered bank-to-bank payment infrastructure.
