A $1.5B Market Valuation
Graham Jenkins, the company’s CEO, commented that the company will look to “deepen” its relationships with its existing community following the fundraising round.
“And our community is truly global. While we have some great U.S. investors, our new investors are mostly active users and partners in the regions where we are growing fastest – Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. We’re very excited to have them join us.” – he added.
The funding round was co-led by one of CoinList’s earliest backers, Accomplice, alongside Agman. It also saw other notable contributions from several top investors, including Access Ventures, Alphemy Capital, CMT Digital, HashKey Capital, and more.
Additionally, the funds will also help CoinList increase its product offerings by launching new features like CoinList Karma and CoinList Governance, which should ultimately increase user participation.
With the recent cash injection, CoinList is currently valued at $1.5 billion, and the company sees this as “a major milestone in [its] mission to accelerate the advancement and adoption of crypto.”
CoinList’s Impressive Growth
Over the past 12 months, CoinList has witnessed a massive surge in its global user base and revenue as cryptocurrency adoption continues to grow.
More specifically, the coin listing platform has seen its user base grow by 42x globally, 36x in the European Union, and 62x in Asia. CoinList currently has over 4.5 million KYC-approved users scattered across more than 170 countries.
