In a groundbreaking move to support its ongoing mission to build the future of DeFi lending and lending, Morpho, a decentralized lending network, today announced an expansion of its investment funding from IOSG Ventures, a research-driven crypto investment fund investing in early-stage Web3 projects and decentralized protocols.
According to the announcement shared today on the X platform, IOSG Ventures expressed confidence in Morpho’s blossoming DeFi lending protocol. Since its founding in 2017, with offices in China and New York, IOSG Ventures has continued to operate its forward-looking crypto fund, actively investing in visionary startups and early-stage platforms in blockchain and Web3.

Morpho receives investments from IOSG Ventures
With the expertise of IOSG Ventures on board, Morpho has created multiple success stories in DeFi, connecting lenders and borrowers worldwide with the best possible opportunities. According to highlights shared on social platform
After making its first capital funding in Morpho in 2024, IOSG today unveiled a further financial investment (undisclosed amount) in the DeFi lending protocol. The reason is not due to Morpho’s growth, but to the fact that the lending platform has become one of the most active protocols for rebuilding the on-chain money market ecosystem, which is becoming larger, more institutional and modular. This immense growth shows that decentralized lending and money markets are a basic component of the global economy, IOSG said. Lending, collateral and returns on DeFi have become important financial activities and mechanisms through which capital is allocated, with Morpho emerging as a key platform powering that infrastructure, IOSG further revealed.
Building accessible DeFi funds for global users
IOSG’s move to double down on Morpho comes just two days after the decentralized lending platform raised another $175 million in a funding round co-led by top equity investors including a16z crypto, Rabbit and Paradigm, with several participants (such as Ledger Cathy, VanEck, Circle Ventures and Apollo Funds) on June 9, 2026. Morpho plans to use the funds raised to create a more efficient and accessible decentralized to build credit offerings for global users who need them.
The investment financing is happening at a time when large-scale financial assets are increasingly being moved through DeFi, demonstrating rising demand for permissionless, programmable credit network infrastructure that supports lending and borrowing of digital assets at the institutional level. Currently, Morpho’s platform holds $6.46 billion in TVL, according to DeFiLlama, making it one of the largest lending protocols by deposits used by institutional clients.
