Multiliquid raises $8M to speed up tokenized asset settlement

Multiliquid has raised $8 million across its pre-seed and seed rounds. Polychain led the seed portion. The protocol, built by Uniform Labs, wants to fix a slow part of tokenized finance: getting out. Wall Street put its funds on a blockchain, then kept the waiting period that comes with selling them. What Multiliquid actually does Multiliquid lets holders of tokenized money-market and treasury funds swap directly into stablecoins like USDC and USDT. Those swaps run on Ethereum and Solana. The key phrase is T+0 settlement. In traditional markets, “T+1” or “T+2” means a trade finishes one or two days after it happens. T+0 means it finishes the same moment.
