Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital, Binance Labs Lead $2.8 Mln Funding Round by Major Investors to 1inch Project
A press release shared with U.Today reveals that the project 1inch has just secured a $2.8-mln funding round led by Binance Labs and Galaxy Digital—run by Mike Novogratz.
Among the investors are Greenfield One, Divergence Ventures and Kyber Network co-founder Loi Luu.
This funding round followed the milestone 1inch recently achieved by exceeding $1 bln in overall volume.
1inch expands exponentially
The decentralized exchange aggregator 1inch uses smart contracts to source liquidity from various crypto exchanges. It splits one crypto transaction across several decentralized exchanges.
Thus, it optimizes and customizes trades for its users. The project has already integrated support from major dexes, such as Kyber Network, Bancor, Uniswap and several others.
Binance chief and founder CZ referred to 1inch recently, saying that dex aggregation has been crucial for the recent DeFi boom. He said:
It is of great pleasure to support the 1inch team in their relentless quest to drive user adoption in DeFi.
The 1inch project has been rolling out new products to the market quite quickly of late—for example, Pathfinder and automated market maker (AMM) protocol Mooniswap.
