The funding was raised led by PolychainCapital és a Hack VCrészvételével Ugrás tőke és a Alameda kutatás<p></p> Nem összefüggő vállalkozások, Eterna fővárosa, Acheron kereskedés, Semmi Kutatásés Palm Drive fővárosa.

Imperii Partners az AscendEX exkluzív pénzügyi tanácsadójaként szolgált a B sorozatú adománygyűjtési folyamat támogatása érdekében. 

Additional Series B investors include Alameda Research, Jump Capital, Uncorrelated Ventures, Eterna Capital, Acheron Trading, Palm Drive Capital, and Nothing Research.

AscendEX, launched under the name “BitMax” in July 2018, offers exchange, custody, and staking services to over one million retail and institutional clients globally.

The platform has positioned itself as an infrastructure partner to blockchain companies, specifically in the decentralized finance (“Defi”) sector, and operates as a validator and yield farming portal for over 60 token projects. 

“We are grateful to have very prominent investors involved in our latest fundraising round,” said George Cao, CEO and Co-founder of AscendEX.

“Polychain Capital and Hack VC, as active catalysts of the Defi ecosystem, have backed some of the industry’s most innovative blockchain networks, exchanges, and trading institutions. Similarly, Alameda Research, founded by Sam Bankman-Fried, has emerged as one of the most prolific investors in the industry, fueling growth within both CeFi and DeFi. Participation from Jump Capital, a seasoned Crypto, and Fintech investor, further showcases the success of our deep roots in traditional finance, as AscendEX’s core team is proud of our extensive experience in Wall Street quant trading.”

AscendEX is well-positioned at the nexus between centralized & decentralized financial sectors, as evidenced by its AscendEX Keress products, and cross-collateralized staking products that allow users to generate yield while trading on leverage.

By empowering retail and institutional users to maximize their trading and earning potential, AscendEX has achieved over $200 million in average daily trade volume and provides competitive yields among competing centralized exchanges.

“AscendEX plans to use the Series B funds to accelerate international market entry, and catalyze further product innovation, specifically focused on blockchain-based yield generating protocols,” notes Shane Molidor, Global Head of Business Development at AscendEX.

„A DeFi ökoszisztémához való híd építése lehetővé tette az AscendEX számára, hogy megkülönböztesse magát a többi kriptovaluta tőzsdétől, és a platformot az innovatív DeFi projektek népszerű célpontjává tette kezdeti csereajánlatok („IEO”) lebonyolítására. Nagy örömünkre szolgál az új befektetőinkkel való együttműködés, hogy tovább erősítsük egyedi versenyelőnyeinket.” 

Sam Trabucco, Co-CEO of Alameda Research, added, “Alameda has had nothing but great experiences working with AscendEX as a customer and market maker, and we’re thrilled to keep expanding our relationship in new ways with this investment.”

„Az AscendEX vezető szerepet tölt be a kriptoprojektek elsődleges piacokról a másodlagos piacokra való átállásában, amint azt a tőzsdén jegyzett tokenek folyamatos sikere is mutatja” – mondta Olaf Carlson-Wee, a Polychain Capital alapítója és vezérigazgatója. „Alig várjuk, hogy elmélyítsük az AscendEX-szel való együttműködésünket azáltal, hogy betekintést nyújtunk a fejlődő iparági trendekbe, és útmutatást adunk a tőzsdére kerülő legmagasabb szintű projektekhez.”

AscendEX uniquely provides dedicated auxiliary support for blockchain projects seeking to list on the platform, including consultation on the token economic design, secondary market liquidity strategies, staking support, liquidity mining, as well as global marketing support and translation services.

These supporting services further differentiate AscendEX’s IEO process from other mainstream exchanges, and in turn, allow listings to achieve industry-leading results. 

“In an extremely competitive crypto exchange landscape, AscendEX has impressively emerged as the leading venue for innovative crypto projects in DeFi, GameFi and crypto infrastructure”, said Saurabh Sharma, Partner at Jump Capital. “AscendEX remains ahead of the curve by constantly innovating and offering unmet needs such as broad staking access and DeFi yield farming for retail investors.”

Alex Pack at Hack VC added, “The concept of extracting more value from the crypto held in your pénztárca has become immensely popular with decentralized lending and yield farming protocol – AscendEX has further expanded on this by cross-collateralizing their wallets with validator nodes, allowing users to trade while earning. No other exchange is offering this degree of flexibility for users to earn and participate in blockchain governance while also trading on leverage.”
