Terra, a Singapore and Korea-based blockchain powered fintech company that is building an innovative payment system, received a strategic investment from Kakao Ventures, the early-stage venture capital and independent subsidiary of South Korea’s internet giant, Kakao.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
The strategic investment from Kakao Ventures will support Terra’s product development and launch, which is currently slated for Q2 2019.
Led by Daniel Shin, Terra is designing a price-stable digital currency that will power the next-generation payment network on the blockchain. The company partners with an alliance of global eCommerce platforms to bring blockchain’s benefits such as low transaction costs to merchants and everyday consumers.
