Crypto.com Steps Into Bitcoin DeFi — And Hemi Is the Bridge Built for a New Era
The quiet shift happening in Bitcoin DeFi just got a major catalyst.
Hemi has closed a $15M round led by CRO capital, pulling one of the world’s biggest crypto ecosystems directly into Bitcoin’s next evolution.
For years, Bitcoin has held trillions in dormant value — powerful, but passive. Hemi changes that equation.
With its Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus, hVM programmable layer, and a trust-minimized architecture, Hemi unlocks something the market has never had before:
➡️ Ethereum-level smart contract power
➡️ Bitcoin-level security
➡️ Global reach through Crypto.com’s scale
This isn’t just “Bitcoin finally gets DeFi.”
This is Bitcoin becoming a fully programmable financial layer, without sacrificing the chain’s core security guarantees.
Hemi positions itself as the chain where developers gain freedom, capital gains movement, and Bitcoin gains utility.
A new frontier is opening — and it starts with #HEMI.
The bridge between worlds has finally arrived.
