In 2019, Fireblocks came out of stealth mode raising $16m from investors including Eight Roads (the proprietary investment arm of Fidelity International), Swisscom Ventures, and Tenaya Capital. By January 2020, Fireblocks announced that they were securing $9bn+ in assets and that number has now surpassed $30bn as Fireblocks continues to grow its network of 50+ institutional clients including exchanges, wallets, custodians, brokerages, and OTC desks. As the first adopter of MPC technology in Asia, Amber Group is proud to be a Fireblocks partner.
This week we chat with Amy Zhang, Vice President of Asia Sales, and Stephen Richardson, Head of Product Strategy, about how Fireblocks is changing the narrative around custody and security. Fireblocks' secure transfer environment is enabling both a smoother operational experience between crypto native market participants as well as with legacy financial institutions entering the digital asset ecosystem.
