Blockchain wallet platform Haruko raises £4.6m
Digital asset management platform Haruko has raised $6m (£4.6m) in a Series A round to fund its expansion into Asia.
Founded in 2021, Haruko provides wealth managers, hedge funds and family offices with a platform to manage investments in both centralized and decentralized digital assets.
In addition to blockchain portfolio management, the platform features risk control tools and data insights from the startup’s application programming interface (API).
The platform also features a proprietary multi-chain crypto wallet, compatible with digital asset storage providers.
“Haruko is 100% focused on creating institutional-grade solutions for the future of the investment industry and providing impeccable service to consistently exceed our clients’ expectations,” said co-founder and CEO Shamyl Malik.
The investment round was co-led by White Star Capital AND MMC Ventures.
“As the digital assets sector continues to mature, Haruko is leading the way in ensuring institutions are equipped to seize these new opportunities,” said White Star Capital General Partner Sep Alavi, who was appointed to the London-based firm’s board as part of the investment deal.
Oliver Richards, general partner at MMC Ventures, added that the investment group has been “actively watching the blockchain space” for years.
“The post-trade part of the digital asset landscape that Haruko focuses on has been underserved to date, and we believe Shamyl and his team have the deep industry knowledge needed to solve this problem,” Richards said.
