Blueprint Finance has completed a strategic funding round led by Polychain Capital to expand its Concrete institutional DeFi vault infrastructure. According to reports from crypto.news and PR Newswire, the funding round included participation from BitGo, FalconX, Bullish, Keyrock, G-20, Flowdesk, JPEG Trading, Sentient Capital, Andes and 2Square. The company did not disclose the amount raised or its valuation. The financing will support further development of Concrete, which Blueprint describes as full-stack infrastructure for creating and managing vaults that deploy capital across on-chain strategies. As per PR Newswire, the company plans to use the capital to scale Concrete and support the continued expansion of the Concrete ecosystem, including the development of new on-chain financial primitives such as AssetCX and concUSD.
Concrete is being developed around vaults that function as programmable capital allocation systems, allowing strategy rules and operational controls to be packaged within an on-chain product. As reported by crypto.news, the system combines execution, accounting, risk controls, rebalancing and integrations with other protocols within the same vault architecture. For institutions and asset managers, Blueprint said the structure is intended to reduce the operational work involved in managing strategies across separate DeFi protocols. The company has also been working with asset issuers, networks and institutional allocators on vaults that can support on-chain yield products and provide liquidity infrastructure. According to PR Newswire, Concrete is a modular platform that provides automated execution, accounting, risk controls, and quantitative strategy tooling for decentralized finance applications. Through its vault architecture, Concrete is being developed to allow these capabilities to operate within a unified infrastructure layer, positioning the platform for a developing phase of decentralized finance in which vaults increasingly operate as programmable on-chain capital allocators rather than simply serving as mechanisms for accessing individual yield opportunities.
According to PR Newswire, Blueprint Finance CEO and co-founder Nic Roberts-Huntley emphasized that the funding round reflects a fundamental shift in the DeFi landscape. "DeFi is moving beyond the era where capital allocation was defined by chasing the highest advertised yield," he stated. "The next phase is about infrastructure: giving professional allocators the controls, transparency, automation, and risk management they expect while preserving everything that makes on-chain markets powerful." The strategic round brings together firms that understand these markets from every angle, with Roberts-Huntley noting that "who participated in this round is as important to us as the capital itself." The participating investors span venture capital, institutional trading, custody, liquidity provision, and digital asset infrastructure, bringing expertise across liquidity, execution, custody, and distribution as Blueprint builds infrastructure designed for the next generation of on-chain capital.
The funding round comes as other crypto companies have moved into managed vault infrastructure in 2026. As reported by crypto.news, Wintermute launched the Armitage vault in May, while Bitwise entered Morpho's curator market earlier in 2026. Plume and Ether.fi launched a $100 million RWA vault in June, providing access to tokenized yield products from within their application. Distribution of tokenized yield products has also moved into crypto wallets, with Binance Wallet adding Plume's nBASIS vault in July. According to PR Newswire, the company operates in the DeFi Infrastructure software category and continues to scale its full-stack vault infrastructure designed for institutional capital allocation and on-chain asset management. By combining DeFi-native composability with institutional-grade operational infrastructure, Concrete is designed to provide a foundation for scalable, transparent, and programmable capital markets on-chain.
