Blockchain.com's recent $110 million funding round has halved its 2022 valuation, indicating a significant shift in market perception or company performance.
The recent Series E funding round for Blockchain.com, led by Kingsway Capital, raised $110 million but resulted in a valuation less than half of its March 2022 valuation of $14 billion. The participation of investors like Baillie Gifford, Lakestar, and Coinbase Ventures underscores the ongoing evolution of Blockchain.com's financial landscape. In March 2022, a funding round, led by Lightspeed Ventures and Baillie Gifford & Co., significantly increased the company's valuation just before market challenges, including the collapse of Do Kwon’s Terra ecosystem, impacted the crypto space.
Despite the dip in Blockchain.com's valuation, the recent investment signals renewed interest in crypto firms, fueled by the overall rise in digital asset prices. The market's optimism is particularly linked to pending applications for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from major financial players like BlackRock and Fidelity.
Bitcoin (BTC), currently priced at $35,653, has witnessed a 116% increase in the past year, while Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) have risen by 61% and 300%, respectively, over the same period.
