Investing in crypto security

As Cointelegraph reported previously, the New York-based startup announced its launch out of stealth mode with $16 million in funding on June 11.

At the time, Fireblocks obtained the capital during its Series A funding round from Cyberstarts, Tenaya Capital, EightRoads (Fidelity INTL), Swisscom Ventures and MState. The startup reportedly counts crypto merchant bank Galaxy Digital, over-the-counter digital trading platform Genesis Global Trading and others among its customers. 

Initially, the startup supported 15 digital asset exchanges and offered support for over 180 cryptocurrencies, tokens, and stablecoins.

According to Michael Shaulov, CEO and co-founder of Fireblocks, his startup created a platform, which secures the process and simplifies the movement of funds into one or two steps.

As Cointelegraph reported previously, cryptocurrency wallet provider Komodo effectively hacked itself to prevent fraudsters from accessing its users’ funds.s.
