Variational Secures ~$50M to Bring Liquidity from Traditional Markets To Crypto20.5.2026 20:07:00 EEST | Press release
Variational, a protocol for on-chain derivatives trading, has announced a ~$50M Series A raise led by Dragonfly with support from Bain Capital Crypto, Coinbase Ventures, and other strategic investors.
