Symbiont Gains Nasdaq Funding

A new enterprise blockchain developer has just closed their second round of funding. The round included big name support from Nasdaq Ventures, Galaxy Digital, Citi, Raptor Group and several others to the total of $20 million. Although the firm has been in operation for almost two years, this is the first time they have truly reached headlines. The company of over 60 employees has been diligently working toward partnerships to develop an industry leading enterprise blockchain template. “We have been very good stewards of capital for the six years we have been in business. I think we have done more with less than anybody out there. So it was time for us to do a bigger round and adding the Nasdaq as an investor and partner, and Citi as an investor and partner, really solidifies our strategy.” - Symbiont CEO Mark Smith

New Tokenized Asset Platform

Two minor cryptocurrency companies Zilliqa and MaiCoin have teamed up to join the competition for tokenization platforms.

The network provides users the ability to delineate privately held shares of previously unshareable assets. The company will be seeking out major tech firms in South East Asia: “It is envisaged that Hg Exchange will provide access to high-growth startups and also decacorns [companies valued above $10 billion] such as Uber, Airbnb, Space X, Grab and Didi Chuxing, which are currently not within reach of the average investor.”
