Keeta Raises $17 Million from Investors Including Eric Schmidt

Keeta is a new startup developing an instant and secure way to make cross-border payments.

Clearly the connection to Silicon Valley executive and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt makes this interesting.  Keeta has aspirations to make cross-border payments as easy as Venmo, which can’t make Paypal too happy to hear about.

Keeta claims that its solution is based on a proprietary payments ledger, which I took to mean not blockchain?  My how far crypto has fallen when Silicon Valley is avoiding all terms related to it.
