SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA / ACCESSWIRE / August 5, 2021 / Cryptoquant, a provider of on-chain and market analytics tools for crypto markets, has completed a successful round of investment, raising $3 Million USD. Leading the investors was Hashed, a top VC firm focusing on blockchain. Other investors included Galaxy Interactive, Mirae Asset Capital, and Youbi Capital.
Crytpoquant has made headlines the last few years with their intuitive and high visibility analytics services, much-followed insight and predictions from CEO Ki Young Ju, and even their role in taking down a Korean crypto-funded child porn ring. The company has focused its efforts on services that help investors of all experience levels to gain insight, and works to prevent harmful practices such as anti-laundering that would threaten the crypto industry's future.
Ki Young Ju said of Cryptoquant's mission: "Most crypto investors have anxiety when they invest in cryptocurrencies because they are struggling with making data-driven decisions due to a lack of time and knowledge. Without data, crypto investing would be gambling. That's where CryptoQuant comes in. We started as a data provider, and now we're on the mission to make the crypto markets work for all people by giving them digestible data and community-driven insights."
This is not the first time Hashed has been a notably early investor in funding rounds for promising blockchain projects. The specialized investment firm operates as a blockchain-focused VC fund and incubator with offices in Seoul and San Francisco.
Simon Kim, co-founder and CEO at Hashed, said of their decision to partner with Cryptoquant: "The CryptoQuant team has already built a world-class on-chain data analysis platform. Influencers, analysts, and leaders in the market have used CryptoQuant's data for their content and opinions. These are distributed to various communities such as Twitter and Telegram, creating massive organic marketing effects for CryptoQuant"
The fresh capital injection comes as data and analytics have become essential for the mainstream adoption of crypto assets, particularly for professional investors and deep-pocket businesses. The demand for high-quality digital assets data is still gaining steam in recent times as institutions and retail investors' interest in crypto investment grows.
On-chain data is a meaningful metric that gives insights on money flow on blockchain networks. The data feed summarizes on-chain activities via analyzing transactions to enable users to see what happens on the networks, which ultimately results in price movements.
