Babel Finance, a cryptocurrency financial services company, has today summarized positive growth after a strategic investment by NGC Ventures, a leading blockchain investment firm, in October 2018.
Following NGC’s investment just 12 months prior, Babel Finance has since recorded growth in loan volume from USD 5 million to USD 380 million, grown its staff size from 15 to 50 employees, and has expanded its footprint by establishing offices in Beijing, Seoul, and Singapore.
“It is our uniform aim to identify and prioritize forward-looking projects that can demonstrate sustainable growth. With a keen view on the developing crypto-finance ecosystem, Babel Finance astutely captures the issue of financial access and mobility, empowering citizens of the next digital economy. While we’re proud to have supported Babel Finance throughout the beginning stages of their growth, we are truly excited for what the future holds as the project continues to underwrite an evolving financial ecosystem.”
