Palisade Finance secures £20k for digital asset custody platform

A digital asset custody platform utilizing MPC and HSM technologies has secured an estimated £20k in new funding. London-based Palisade Finance Ltd, which focuses on security within the digital asset space, reached an estimated post-money valuation of £100k following the transaction.

The company was incorporated in March 2026 to provide organizations with tools to hold, manage, and interact with digital assets securely. Its platform includes features for wallet provisioning, counter-party risk mitigation, and AML screening. Palisade also offers services for token issuance and exchange integration through its API-driven SaaS model. The technology stack specifically targets the needs of firms operating in DeFi and Web3 environments.

Based in London, the firm currently lists eight employees on its professional profile. This funding round follows the company's initial setup earlier this year (with an allotment and filing date in May 2026).

Palisade Finance has recently expanded its board with two director appointments. Daniel Alan Preston was appointed in March 2026. David Charles Wilson joined the board in May 2026. LinkedIn profiles suggest that Wilson may be a Partner at 17Capital, though this connection is unverified.

The company operates in the IT services and consulting sector with a specific focus on cybersecurity and blockchain infrastructure. Its core mission involves transforming security protocols for multi-chain digital asset management by providing compliant and intuitive features for institutional users. These tools are designed to help organizations protect assets while interacting with various blockchain protocols.
