Crypto Finance AG successfully completed its Series B investment round, raising CHF 14 million in new funding.
With this new capital, the total funding raised for Crypto Finance is CHF 36 million, and the Crypto Finance Group can continue to grow despite current challenges posed by Covid-19. This is an achievement and testimony to the Crypto Finance track record and strategy. Jan Brzezek, CEO and Founder of Crypto Finance AG, expressed: “I am excited to share our Series B funding news. It lets us continue with our vision and strategy to provide market-leading, professional crypto asset management, trading, and infrastructure.”
The financing round was led by renowned Swiss investor Rainer-Marc Frey and the Asian-based private equity fund Lingfeng Capital.
