Company mission

To deliver the infrastructure to enable real estate, collectables and infrastructure investments.

Our take

Cashlink was founded in 2016, originally as a PayPal-style Peer to Peer payment service, but about turned in 2018 to focus on building the legal and technical framework for client companies' shares through blockchain. The change in business model, though drastic, was part of a trend that saw many companies move away from building payment services in the late 2010s.

Cashlink has certainly benefitted from its refocus. In 2018 it received €1 million in early VC funding from Finlab and Carsten Maschmeyer, and further seed funding in 2021. In 2022, it was valued at between $4 and 7 million.

Mentioned in the Financial Times alongside respected German finance papers, Cashlink made a calculated gamble in its business shift. But with tokenisation becoming a key security and asset management tool for companies moving into blockchain tech, Cashlink will continue to be a major European player in the crypto field.
