LinkedInThe round was co-led by Foundation Capital and BACKED VC to support international expansion and strategic acquisitions.
"Our mission is to connect and bank the global crypto industry. This game-changing financing backed by both venture capital and strategic client interests, empowers us to accelerate that mission and build bigger, better, deeper infrastructure which is so critical to the growth of this industry."
The strategic round was co-led by North Island Ventures and Blockchain.com Ventures.
"There’s so much more we want to offer our clients, and many untapped regions we’d like to be in to help those markets grow via reliable payments and market infrastructure. This funding round comes at a very exciting time for BCB Group and will be transformative for our client experience."
The algorithmic liquidity provider has raised £14.6m in a Series B round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with participation from Pantera Capital.
"Wintermute has grown almost 25x since Lightspeed led the company’s Series A round just six months ago. That rarely happens! We are excited to continue supporting Wintermute and their ambitious expansion plans going forward,"
