“We became a sort of a big piece of the market infrastructure,” said Michael Shaulov, chief executive of Fireblocks.
“We now have over 230 clients, all the big institutions, and we need to guarantee to them our financial stability and the fact that we will remain independent.”
BNY Mellon, the largest custodian bank in the world, also took part in this round. It’s important to note that BNY Mellon is also one of Fireblocks’ clients. The two groups are reportedly collaborating to develop the bank’s Bitcoin custody product.
Apart from Coatue, the funding was also headed by Ribbit Capital and Stripes. Other participants in Series C included existing investors Paradigm, Galaxy Digital, Swisscom Ventures, Tenaya Capital and Cyberstarts Ventures.
The acquisition of crypto firms by fintech companies could become a trend this year, according to analysts. Furthermore, custody providers, which enable the secure storage and transfer of crypto assets on behalf of major investors are also gaining exposure as Wall Street giants fight to bring crypto products to their clients.
Higher interest in crypto companies is also yielding more media space for smaller projects and startups, such as Theta Fuel. The platform’s importance has become apparent to many crypto investors as it is fueling payments transactions and deploying smart contracts. In essence, TFUEL can be seen as the operational token of the Theta protocol.
