Recent reports suggest that Banking sector giant, Barclays is considering making an investment in Copper, a cryptocurrency custody firm. The Barclays investment in crypto amid the bleeding crypto market trends is surely notable. This move is also expected to induce price changes in the market as most of the crypto participants are trying to withdraw their money, whereas this ban sector behemoth has decided to go in the reverse direction.
On Sunday, Sky News reported that the UK-based bank is one of the several other investors who are collaborating in Copper funding. The bank is set to invest an unknown sum of money, which is expected to be in the range of millions of dollars. The fundraising campaign and its requisites will be finalized within a few days.
This fundraising would complete the Copper Series C round of funding worth $500 million, which it had started with an aim to raise enough funds to acquire a valuation of $3 billion. However, that target cannot be met currently as the ‘crypto winter’ wiped off the company’s valuation and it now stands at $2 billion.
