Elliptic, a London, UK-based provider of cryptoasset risk management solutions, received a $5m investment from Wells Fargo Strategic Capital, which has joined its Series B funding round bringing the total amount raised to over $28m.
WFSC joined SBI Group and Santander InnoVentures.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its expansion in Asia, and to accelerate the roll out of a new risk management solution for financial institutions, called Elliptic Discovery.
