Today, my colleague Berber Jin and I wrote about new funding rounds for startups that make it easier for companies to engage with cryptocurrency trading and blockchain technology. Blockdaemon is raising fresh capital from SoftBank at a valuation of $1.2 billion, while Alchemy, which helps companies develop and manage blockchain-based apps, is also raising new funding in a round that could value the company above $1 billion.
Blockdaemon’s deal shows that there’s strong investor appetite for companies that can bridge the gap between cryptocurrencies and mainstream financial institutions. Blockdaemon runs nodes, computers that keep a record of and validate transactions on a blockchain, which help companies complete crypto transactions like payments and trading.
