The money raised for CloudTech will be used to expand a wider crypto-native financial ecosystem and launch an institutional-grade custody solution for digital assets.
The money comes from a number of unnamed investors.
The Melbourne fintech, which was founded in 2021 and employs 40 people, offers a range of digital finance services, including stablecoin solutions, over-the-counter (OTC) trading, and CobWeb Pay, which exchanges cryptocurrency for Australian dollars for everyday purchases.
The money was essential to building key infrastructure for the digital asset economy, according to chief financial officer Mandy Jiang, a former employee of ASX-listed company neobank Judo.
“We’re developing a solution that combines blockchain’s advantages with the standards and protections expected in traditional finance, as custody is crucial for institutions entering this space,” she stated.
The custody platform from the fintech will provide transparent reporting, end-to-end encryption, and segregated wallets.
“In addition to technology, we’re bringing the disciplines of traditional finance to the blockchain space in terms of governance, transparency, and control,” Jiang stated.
Although CloudTech did not disclose the amount received, the most popular cryptocurrency has increased by over 5.5% in the past month and is currently up by over 12% in the last six months. This week, it surpassed $110,000 USD once more.
