Wind.app Raises $3.8 Million to Make Crypto Payments and Banking Accessible for Freelancers and Underbanked
• Wind.app is a self-custodial crypto wallet making DeFi more accessible, allowing businesses to pay employees and people to use it as a virtual bank.
• It has facilitated over $3 million in transactions since launch and raised $3.8 million in pre-seed funding from investors like Global Founders Capital.
• Wind.app removes crypto complexities like gas fees and keys, so anyone can use it, starting with freelancers and remote workers for payments.
• It builds its own fiat on-ramps and off-ramps to reduce fees to under 0.3%, and plans to target the underbanked.
• As a self-custodial wallet, user funds are secured cryptographically on the blockchain, not controlled by Wind.app, for safety.
