How GnosisVC streamlined global payments to power the web3 ecosystem

GnosisVC is the investment arm of the Gnosis ecosystem, focused on supporting Web3 projects that build open infrastructure, decentralized protocols, and tools for a more inclusive financial future. With an international portfolio and a focus on innovation, GnosisVC invests in startups that are innovating in the verticals of stablecoin payments, RWA tokenization, and decentralized infrastructure.

As a global investor, GnosisVC needs to move capital with speed, security, and predictability, especially when sending funds internationally to portfolio companies across different regions. Efficient payments are, therefore, a key part of delivering value to its portfolio companies.

The Challenge: Transfers that impacted liquidity and business agility

With a growing network of portfolio companies around the world, GnosisVC faced operational challenges in distributing capital quickly and accurately. The main bottlenecks included:

• Delays in international transfers, with unpredictable settlement times via traditional banking systems (SWIFT).
• High transaction and currency conversion costs, reducing the final amount received by portfolio companies.
• The need to operate with both local currencies and stablecoins, depending on the jurisdiction and project model.
• Limited visibility and control over the sending and receiving process.

The Solution: How Conduit helped leverage cross-border payments

To overcome these payment bottlenecks, GnosisVC adopted Conduit’s operating system, a flexible solution that combines traditional banking rails with stablecoins. This integration allows them to send funds in both local currencies and digital assets with faster settlement, reducing FX complexity and operational friction. In addition, GnosisVC now has real-time visibility over every transaction, with traceable data and more integrated financial management.

The impact on GnosisVC’s operations

With Conduit, one of GnosisVC's investment partners noted that:

“Conduit’s solution enables them to deploy capital more quickly and efficiently to its portfolio companies across all continents, improving the experience and shortening the time between investment decision and funds disbursement.  By using Conduit, GnosisVC is able to truly act as a crypto-native investment firm in all aspects of their business, including capital deployment.”
