Squid Raises $6 Million With Backing From Ripple and North Island Ventures

According to the source, Squid completed a $6 million strategic financing led by North Island Ventures, bringing total funding to $13.5 million as it prepares to launch a new consumer product.

Fact Check
All three sources - the official PR Newswire press release, The Block, and Crypto Briefing - consistently confirm that Squid raised $6 million in a strategic funding round with North Island Ventures as lead investor and Ripple as a participating backer. The claim's framing is accurate: North Island Ventures led the round and Ripple backed it alongside other investors (Dialectic, Borderless, and others). The PR Newswire release serves as the primary official source, and both The Block and Crypto Briefing provide corroborating detail. There are no conflicting reports. The only immaterial nuance is that the headline slightly elevates Ripple's role (it was a participant, not co-lead), but this does not make the claim false.
