Platforma za posojanje kriptovalut BlockFi naj bi po pričakovanjih zbrala stotine milijonov dolarjev novega financiranja v vrednosti skoraj 5 milijard dolarjev, kar ponuja nadaljnji vpogled v rast kripto usmerjenih podjetij.

The company, which was founded in 2017 by Zac Prince and Flori Marquez, is said to be in late-stage talks with new and existing investors to secure the capital raise, po to technology publication The Information. New York-based hedge fund Third Point Management and Hedosophia, a London-based venture capital firm, are reportedly leading the new funding round.

V istem poročilu je navedeno, da se zadnji krog financiranja še ni zaključil, kar pomeni, da bi lahko BlockFi-jeva ocena vrednosti 5 milijard dolarjev lahko naraščala.

Kot je poročal Cointelegraph, BlockFi raised $350 million in Series D financing earlier this year, building on the $100 million it raised via three earlier funding rounds. The platform has been a source of growth and adoption during the crypto bull market, which saw digital lending products reach the mainstream.

BlockFi upravlja more than $15 billion in assets. During the height of crypto euphoria earlier this year, BlockFi clients were earning record interest payments on their Bitcoin (BTC), Eter (ETH) and stablecoin holdings.

Even during the latest crypto market collapse, blockchain startups continue to be a source of capital accumulation. Venture capitalists have vložil več kot 16 milijard dolarjev in blockchain equity since 2012, with the pace of investments seemingly growing over the past year as more institutional players pivot toward the space.
