BitKeep, a DeFi wallet, has received USD 30 million in additional investment from BitGet, a cryptocurrency exchange, at a USD 300 million valuation. This round brings the company’s total funding to USD 45 million.
This investment makes BitGet the controlling stakeholder of the company, enabling the company to merge BitKeep with its business domain while it continues to operate as an independent entity. BitGet will also provide BitKeep access to its technology and security capabilities with plans to add support for ZK-rollup-based layer-2 networks.
The deal also sees BitKeep’s current chief product officer, Karry Cheung, stepping in as the company’s new CEO.
Analyst Quicktake: The DeFi wallet space has seen a recent influx of funding in the last six months with companies such as Cypher , MSafe , and Braavos raising USD 4.3 million , USD 5 million , and USD 10 million , respectively. BitKeep aims to differentiate itself from this competition by enabling users to store and transfer 250,000+ types of assets across 90+ major chains.
