The tide might have gone out on ordinals, but there’s a strong undercurrent of investments in Bitcoin-only companies. River, a United States-based Bitcoin (BTC) technology and financial services company, is the latest to make a splash.

River announced a $35 million Series B equity funding round despite the bear market. Kingsway Capital led the round, with notable contributions from PayPal (NASDAQ:) co-founder Peter Thiel, Cygni, Goldcrest and Valor Equity Partners.
