Back in October 2024, APRO announced a seed funding of US$ 3 million, led by established investment firms including Polychain Capital and Franklin Templeton. This round saw participation from other VCs like CMS Holdings, Comma3 Ventures, UTXO Ventures, Oak Grove Ventures, Presto Labs and more.
This initial funding enabled development of APRO’s “Oracle 3.0” — a solution combining Bitcoin-grade security with low latency and high compatibility across multiple blockchains. The ambition was clear: to build a decentralized oracle network tailored not only for Ethereum-style chains, but also for Bitcoin ecosystems (L1, L2, etc.), bridging gaps many other oracles miss.
Fast forward to 2025, and APRO secured a new strategic funding round led by YZi Labs (mentioned earlier), indicating renewed investor confidence. This latest round signals that APRO isn’t just a speculative startup — it’s evolving, expanding its scope (RWA, AI, prediction markets) and aiming for long-term growth as core blockchain infrastructure.
For investors, developers, and the wider crypto/Web3 community — this growth trajectory suggests APRO might become a serious contender among oracle providers, especially for projects needing cross-chain support, RWA data, AI integration, or multi-asset feeds.
