Why Basefund

The infrastructure layer institutional finance has been missing.

Because high-value transactions still move through phone calls, email threads, and manual wire instructions.

Problem
The Problem
Fragmented. Manual. Uninsured.
Today, proceeds and disbursements flow through systems without verification, real-time visibility or protection.
Cost
The Cost
$15B lost to wire fraud annually.
Municipal issuers and institutional counterparties are prime targets — most with zero transaction-level protection.
