HashPort Co., Ltd. Raised 350 million yen from blockchain consultants HashPort, UTEC and Ceres
Summary
This time, we will provide a wallet management system for crypto asset exchange companies, and will merge with Fresets Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Fresets”), a blockchain venture from the University of Tokyo, which has high technological capabilities, through a stock swap to provide services for crypto asset exchanges. In the United States, the entry of institutional investors and the complexity of cryptocurrency regulations are increasing the need for highly specialized wallet operators. We also expect that HashPort will collaborate with the “University of Tokyo Blockchain Innovation Endowed Course” to bring cutting-edge research results to practical use. Mr. Hiroshiro Terato (General Manager, Corporate Planning Office, Ceres Inc.) Originally, we invested in Fresets, which had a good reputation for technical capabilities and was developing crypto asset wallets, but the management integration between Fresets and HashPort, who has high blockchain technology consulting ability and achievements, is infinite. ■ Office relocation HashPort will move to an incubation facility operated by the University of Tokyo from March 2021 due to the expansion of personnel.
