Matrixport 以约 100 亿美元的投前估值完成了 1 亿美元的融资

Matrixport 是一家自称为新银行的加密金融服务平台，周日晚间宣布 C 轮融资结束，该公司以超过 100 亿美元的投前估值获得 1 亿美元资金。 

Matrixport 于 2019 年作为比特大陆的分拆公司成立，是亚洲大型加密货币公司，管理资产 (AuM) 约为 10 亿美元。其平台提供广泛的服务，包括交易、借贷和固定收益类产品。 

“We are not an exchange, we are not a wallet,” John Yuesheng Ge, CEO of Matrixport said in an interview with The Block. “We are a crypto bank.”

据媒体报道，本轮融资得到了 DST Global、C Ventures 和 CE Innovation Capital 合作伙伴的支持。其他投资者包括 Tiger Global、Polychain 和 Dragonfly。

Matrixport’s fundraise announcements follows similar raises by a long list of crypto firms, including 火块, 的Paxos和加密货币交换 FTX。据发言人称，Matrixport 迄今为止已筹集 129 亿美元。

Matrixport’s raise is significant given the firm’s home base in Asia. China has 最近 打击比特币挖矿，引发该地区多家公司外流。 Matrixport 此前以中国客户为目标，现在正在配合近期的监管环境，将业务重心从中国转向其他亚洲司法管辖区的客户。该公司总部位于新加坡。

尽管采取了这一举措，通用电气表示仍能够维持目前的资产管理规模。 

“We don’t want to break the rules so right now we moved our focus to other countries in Asia,” Ge said. The firm is now targeting Europe and North America, pending the required regulatory approvals. 

Ge said that interest in the company has been buoyed by its yield offerings, which provide a return that trumps that of the average bank. The firm offers a way to invest in funds that return yields above 4%. Funds parked into those funds are used for “crypto-backed lending, leverage trading (bull or bear), or other lending business of Matrixport platform,” according to a description on its mobile app. 

Matrixport 由加密货币挖矿传奇人物、比特大陆前董事长兼联合创始人吴忌寒创立。 2020 年，彭博社 报道 该公司正寻求以 40 亿美元的估值筹集 300 万美元。
