LONDON (Reuters) – Cryptocurrency company Blockchain.com said Wednesday it had raised $ 300 million in its latest funding round at a valuation of $ 5.2 billion.
The tour was led by DST Global, Lightspeed Venture Partners and VY Capital, the London-based company said.
Blockchain.com offers digital wallets for storing cryptocurrencies as well as retail trading and other services for larger investors.
Bitcoin climbed to a record shy of $ 62,000 this month as mainstream companies and investors increasingly embrace cryptocurrencies, leading to ballooning valuations of related companies.
Blockchain.com said last month that it raised about $ 120 million, with investments from venture capital unit Alphabet Inc.
