How a Layer-2 Protocol Raised $1.44B in Just 8 Days During Bitcoin's Down Cycle



The protocol's leadership team made a bold move to silence the doubters. By closing a $1.44 billion funding round in just 8 days, they didn't just raise capital—they sent a clear message: we're still standing strong, even when Bitcoin is pulling back and market sentiment turns negative.

It's a textbook playbook against FUD. When crypto markets dip and fear spreads, most projects struggle to attract capital. This team proved they can do the opposite. Landing that much funding so quickly during a Bitcoin down cycle isn't just a win for the treasury—it's a vote of confidence from major investors who clearly see the long-term potential.

In a market where uncertainty kills momentum, this kind of decisive action speaks volumes.

1.4 billion dollars in 8 days? That's mind-blowing. This is the real moment to buy the dip.

8 days, 1.4 billion, this pace... How many institutions are pushing behind the scenes? Do they really think we can't see that this is a propaganda war?

8 billion in 14 days? Is that real? This pace is a bit outrageous. --- It's easier to raise funds when bottom-fishing, which shows that institutions have long seen through it. --- That move is ruthless. Using real gold and silver to counter FUD’s face, I like this kind of approach. --- Wait, is this 1.4 billion from genuine funding or just the numbers in the PR article? Seems a bit suspicious. --- Hey, no way. Bitcoin drops and they still raise so much? Big institutions really have money. --- It's the same old narrative of "heroes emerge in chaotic times." Let’s see how things look in three months. --- Now that’s confidence, unlike some projects that keep shouting “Keep going!” --- What does it say if you can raise funds in a bear market? It only counts if you see where it’s used. --- Whoa, this fundraising speed—any inside info? It’s hard to believe it’s so fast. --- This move has boosted market confidence enough. There should be more to see afterward.

8 days 1.44B? This fundraising speed is outrageous. It seems that when the coin price drops, it's actually easier to harvest the profits.

Damn, 1.44B in 8 days? These people are really ruthless. Even in a bear market, they can still raise this much funding. --- It's a bit promising, but it depends on how they use this money later. Don't turn out to be the next scam project. --- Huh? They managed to raise so much when Bitcoin was falling, which shows that some people really believe in it. --- Now that's true confidence, much stronger than those projects that just hype all day long. --- 8 days? I’ve listened to 8 hours of meme coin promos and didn’t raise even 1B lol. --- The key is whether this money can actually be used on the protocol. Don’t let it dump during the vesting period again.

Damn, this fundraising speed is incredible. Even in a bear market, they can raise so much money. Truly impressive. --- 8 days, 1.44 billion? Now that's real institutional bottom-fishing, unlike some projects that just talk tough. --- Alright, I admit it. This move is really ruthless. When the market is most panicked, they’re bleeding it dry. --- By the way, they finished raising funds so quickly. Are they really optimistic or is there a big investor behind the scenes pushing? --- Honestly, I need to keep an eye on projects that can raise funds like this in a bear market. --- Another project relying on storytelling to raise money. Let’s wait and see how they deliver later. --- That’s why I say wealthy people will never run out of money. While retail investors are still bottom-fishing, they’ve already finished raising. --- I just want to know exactly how they plan to spend this 144 billion. Hope it’s not just salaries and operational costs again. --- Absolutely incredible. It’s worlds apart from the project I invested in initially. How do they manage to raise money so easily?

Oh my, 1.4 billion in 8 days? Now that's what I call making a fortune quietly --- Bear market financing is actually more aggressive, indicating that some people really understand --- While everyone is shouting FUD, others have already secured funding, what a difference --- But speaking of this round of financing, are the investors reliable? It feels a bit suspicious to raise so much in a bear market --- Layer2 is really happening this time, taking advantage of Bitcoin's pullback to continue earning, technical skills --- Wait, which protocol is this? Seems like I haven't heard of it --- The key is, 8 days, everyone. This speed is truly incredible. The financing management team must have negotiated long ago --- When FUD is everywhere, it's actually a good time to pick up bargains. This project understands --- By the way, could it be related to private placements? If it were public offerings, it might not be this fast --- Awesome is awesome, but I'm worried there won't be real applications to support it later, and it will turn into a trap for retail investors
