BackCoinMetro has kicked off the year at a blistering pace with massive growth already. But now we have even more exciting news so we wanted to update everyone on where we stand right now!
Check out our Q1 Roadmap.
Business Development
We’ve got a lot of updates to share, but let’s start off with the most exciting developments and a BIG announcement.
Additional funding secured!
As many community members and CoinMetro followers may be aware, we are seeking to secure an MTF license. In order to begin the application process there is a minimum capital requirement. We raised €2.5 million to start the year during our bond sale, but this was earmarked for operational costs, marketing, growing the team, etc.
The CoinMetro Bond was oversubscribed as new heavyweight investors joined in, so we decided it was time to ride the momentum and secure more funding with straight-to-equity deals. While looking to raise €1.5 million, we ended up with interest for over €3 million in additional funding! The €1.5 million required for the MTF license has been confirmed and we expect to see the rest finalized by the end of the month.
This would leave the company with over €5 million on hand to hire a team of big hitters, develop new products, massively increase marketing budgets and ensure we take CoinMetro to a completely new level.
And yes, the valuation of CoinMetro has increased since the bond! More details on this soon.
EMI License
In addition to the MTF license, we’ve already started the process of securing the license to become an Authorized Electronic Money Institution. This incredible news will open us up to offer a world of new services.
New B2B services for Legal Persons KYC
This is a very big update which creates another revenue stream for CoinMetro! It’s a mature service that will place us many levels above the competition. This is due to be released in the next week.
Collaborations to be announced
A very large and fast growing German challenger bank will be using our API to provide crypto services for their massive user base. Collaborations with other companies are in the works as well.
Hiring across multiple departments to scale up
New hires are starting next week, plus lots of interviews happening and very exciting times internally.
