Singapore-based crypto investment platform Pillow has raised an investment of $18m in a Series A funding round.
A group of firms, including Accel, Quona Capital, Elevation Capital and Jump Capital have jointly led the round.
Pillow plans to use the fresh infusion to speed up the adoption of crypto-based solutions by investors in emerging markets.
Pillow CEO Arindam Roy said: “At Pillow, we aspire to create and reward a culture of disciplined personal finance, including savings and investments powered by access to digital assets, that enable young, hardworking, ambitious people to take control of their finances, achieve life goals and work towards financial freedom.
“We’re creating a suite of high-quality, secure, and transparent financial products that will grant our users access to global economic opportunities and let them take control of their financial future.”
Pillow was established last year by Arindam Roy, Rajath KM and Kartik Mishra.
