FasterCapital EquityPilot Backs Cloudbit to Scale Non‑Custodial DeFi Wallet (CDBC)
New York, United States & Dubai, UAE - Sep 17, 2025
Cloudbit (CDBC) and FasterCapital today announced a strategic partnership through FasterCapital’s EquityPilot program to accelerate Cloudbit’s launch and scale of its non‑custodial DeFi wallet, smart contracts and multichain infrastructure across global markets via mentorship, technical support and targeted fundraising.
Market opportunity & problem statement
Global decentralized finance (DeFi) is expected to continue rapid expansion as users seek higher yields, privacy and self‑custody over assets. Yet many retail investors face fragmented UX, custody risk and unclear security assurances. Cloudbit targets this $billions+ market gap by delivering a multichain, non‑custodial wallet and tooling to streamline yield capture, cross‑chain transfers and decentralized key management for mainstream users and institutions.
Startup solution & differentiation
Cloudbit (CDBC) combines a user‑first mobile wallet, audited smart contracts and cross‑chain bridges to enable easy staking, swapping and yield capture without custodians. The platform emphasizes decentralized key management, 2FA options, and zero buy/sell token tax claims. Early product previews and community engagement indicate initial traction among DeFi users and validators. Cloudbit’s 200M token supply and planned staking tools position it to capture yield‑seeking users while aiming to differentiate on usability, security and multichain interoperability.
FasterCapital partnership value
Through FasterCapital’s EquityPilot, Cloudbit will receive mentorship, technical validation, go‑to‑market support, and structured fundraising assistance targeted at a $1M seed close. FasterCapital’s selective criteria and global program resources will fast‑track audits, exchange listing preparations, and advisor introductions. The collaboration is structured as a hands‑on acceleration with milestone‑based capital and strategic introductions to liquidity partners and institutional investors.
