Web3 infrastructure provider Omega, based in Miami, has secured $6 million in funding from a range of investors including Lightspeed Faction, Borderless Capital and Blockchain.com. Led by CEO Wes Cowan and COO Eric Ryklin, Omega plans to launch the first decentralized infrastructure that enables Bitcoin holders to use the value of their Layer 1 Bitcoin for yield generation in DeFi. The company expects to launch its public beta within the next 60 days and sees the funding as a testament to its vision of reshaping the DeFi landscape. "Our focus now turns to delivering our public beta, which we believe will empower Bitcoin holders and significantly contribute to the evolution of Bitcoin DeFi," said Ryklin.
