Swiss Bitcoin platform Relai has secured $4.5m in a funding round led by Ego Death Capital. The funds will be used to expand the platform’s retail Bitcoin on-ramp in Europe, add zero-fee trading, support for Lightning and more. New investors include Timechain, Cabrit Capital and Lightning Ventures, while participating firms Redalpine and Fulgur Ventures are both previous investors. Ego Death Capital general partner Andi Pitt will join Relai’s board. “The current bear market is the perfect time to focus on what’s most important: building a top-notch product, delivering a seamless user experience, and educating people about Bitcoin as the best savings technology ever invented,” said Relai CEO and co-founder Julian Liniger.
