Matrixport is now a unicorn company

Matrixport, the crypto-finance venture founded by Jihan Wu, the former CEO and co-founder of Bitmain Technologies, has reached a unicorn level. This latest development comes after the firm raised funds from new and existing investors.

The firm announced via a press release earlier today that it is now worth over $1 billion. Matrixport’s Series C funding round was led by DST Global, C Ventures and K3 Ventures. It also includes new participants like Qiming Venture Partners and the existing ones, IDG Capital and Dragonfly Capital.

Matrixport, a Singapore-based cryptocurrency finance venture, raised over $100 million this time around and expects to raise more soon. Chief Executive Officer Ge Yuesheng is optimistic about the firm’s growth over the next few years. He stated that “Crypto banking is still a fast-growing niche when compared to wallets and exchanges. Our clients are mainly high net-worth individuals in crypto who have a wide range of expectations of risk and return.”

Matrixport aims to make it easier for institutions and individuals to enjoy more services from the cryptocurrency sector. “We are more than a gateway to the crypto economy. Matrixport is where both institutional customers and individuals find it easy to get more from their crypto, beyond just trading,” Ge added.

Matrixport holds over $10 billion in assets

The firm revealed that by the end of the first quarter of 2021, it held over $10 billion in assets under management and custody. Matrixport also recorded $5 billion in monthly transactions across all product lines during that period.

Jihan Wu was previously the CEO of Bitmain Technologies, one of the leading manufacturers of cryptocurrency mining hardware. However, he resigned in January, ending a years-long power struggle with his co-founder Micree Zhan. Jihan Wu is now the chairman of Matrixport while, Ge, his former Bitmain ally, serves as the CEO.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
