Horizon Strategic Investments Commits $1.5M to CertiK-Audited DeFi Project

Horizon Strategic Investments, a family office focused on alternative asset allocation, has committed $1.5 million to IMP Money, bringing the protocol’s institutional funding round to $31.5 million total. The investment brings both capital and advisory expertise to the UK-registered yield platform.

The family office’s allocation follows investments from Meridian Digital Ventures ($10M), Atlas Capital Group ($15M), and Sentinel Blockchain Partners ($5M), establishing a diverse base of institutional support for IMP Money’s concentrated liquidity strategy.

“Our family office has been exploring DeFi opportunities for several years, but we’ve been cautious about the sustainability of most yield strategies,” explained a Horizon representative. 

“IMP Money’s approach is fundamentally different—they’re not creating yield through inflation or unsustainable incentives. They’re capturing real trading fees from one of the largest decentralized exchanges. That’s a business model we understand and can support.“

IMP Money’s institutional round has attracted four distinct investor types: private equity (Meridian), institutional funds (Atlas), venture capital (Sentinel), and family offices (Horizon). This diversity reflects broad recognition across the investment community of the protocol’s potential.

The protocol utilizes PancakeSwap V3’s concentrated liquidity infrastructure to generate yield from trading fees. By focusing liquidity within optimal price ranges, IMP Money achieves capital efficiency rates that translate into sustainable returns for depositors.

All institutional investments are subject to 15-month lock-up periods, aligning investors with the protocol’s long-term success. This structure has become standard among protocols seeking serious institutional capital rather than speculative short-term investments.

Horizon’s commitment completes IMP Money’s institutional funding phase, providing the protocol with a strong capital base for expanding its liquidity operations. The company has indicated that retail deposit functionality will become available following the successful deployment of institutional capital.

IMP Money LTD maintains its registration in the United Kingdom, and all smart contracts have been audited by CertiK and verified on BSCScan. All four institutional investors have cited the protocol’s focus on transparency and security as a key factor in their investment decisions.
