A Crypto Platform FalconX értéke 8 milliárd dollárra ugrott 150 millió dolláros emelés után

Despite a rocky couple of months for crypto, San Francisco-based FalconX locked up a $150 million Series D and more than doubled its valuation from just 10 months ago.

Az új fordulót a nemzetközi rakszelvény és a B Tőke, és 8 milliárd dollárra értékeli a céget. Augusztusban a cég bezárta a 210 millió dolláros C sorozat egymilliárd dolláros értékelésen.

The round also included investment from Thomas Bravo, Wellington Menedzsment, Adams Street és a Tiger globális menedzsment. FalconX has now raised more than $430 million, the company said.

FalconX’s platform allows institutions to access and manage their crypto assets. In its release, the company said the first quarter of the year was its strongest ever for  customer onboarding—despite the tumult the crypto market has gone through.

“FalconX is one of the very few crypto prime brokerages who do not take on market risk, so we’re not in conflict with our clients and their trading strategies,” said Raghu Yarlagadda, CEO and founder, in the release. “In light of recent market conditions, this is extremely valuable to our clients who demand a reliable market infrastructure provider.”

A kriptopiacon az idei év kőbe vésődött a befektetők számára. The two largest cryptocurrencies—Bitcoin and Ether—have lost more than half their value from their November highs. In addition, the industry saw one of its stablecoins completely collapse, and in the last two weeks, large lending platforms Babel Finance és a Celsius hálózat suspended withdrawals and transfers due to market uncertainty and liquidity issues.

Mindezek ellenére, high valuations are not new in the space. Last year saw more than 30 new unicorns born in the sector, including FalconX. This year already has seen more than a dozen, including Binance.US—the American franchise of Binance—and Miami-based Yuga Labs
