MovaChain, the next-generation modular blockchain built for global payments, today announced it has secured a strategic investment at a $100 million valuation, led by Aqua1 Foundation and GeoNova Capital (UAE), with participation from other leading Abu Dhabi institutions.
This funding will accelerate Mova’s mission to deliver institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure engineered for high performance, compliance, and modular flexibility, setting a new global benchmark for scalable Web3 adoption in payments and finance.
Strategic Roadmap: Accelerating the Future of Global Payments
MovaChain will channel this investment into three core priorities designed to reshape blockchain-powered financial infrastructure worldwide:
- Advancing Modular, High-Performance Infrastructure – Scaling throughput and reliability to meet the needs of global enterprises, financial institutions, and developers.
- Expanding Global Payment Solutions – Powering cross-border settlements, stablecoin integrations, and multi-dimensional payment rails to support the future of finance.
- Strengthening Ecosystem Growth – Driving adoption through partnerships with governments, enterprises, sovereign wealth funds, and institutional players worldwide.
“The backing from world-class investors reaffirms Mova’s position as a trusted, payment-focused blockchain,” said Stephen Wong, Co-Founder of Mova. “This milestone validates our vision of accelerating real-world adoption by building the most compliant and scalable Web3 infrastructure for digital economies.”
Investors Driving Institutional Blockchain Adoption
The funding round was led by Aqua1 Foundation, a UAE-based Web3 investment fund focused on blockchain infrastructure, financial protocols, and real-world asset tokenization. Aqua1 has built a reputation for driving large-scale institutional blockchain adoption, most recently making global headlines with its $100 million investment into World Liberty Financial (WLF), the Trump family-backed crypto platform—one of the largest single-ticket investments in the sector.
Also participating is GeoNova Capital, a Dubai-headquartered strategic investment firm anchored by Standard Chartered Bank. GeoNova specializes in hands-on investment and asset repositioning across high-growth sectors, partnering with sovereign wealth funds, private equity firms, and family offices to create long-term value through transformational opportunities in blockchain and financial technology.
