Crypto exchange and wallet provider Blockchain.com has closed a $110 million raise, valuing the company at less than half of its previous $14 billion, according to a Bloomberg report.
The Series E was led by U.K.-based Kingsway Capital with participation from Lakestar, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and COINBASE Ventures.
Neither Kingsway nor Blockchain.com responded to a request for comment from CoinDesk by press time.
In January, the exchange had laid off 28% of its workforce, according to a report.
Last year, Bloomberg reported that Blockchain.com was looking to raise another round at a valuation of $3 billion-$4 billion. However, the exact valuation for the Series E was not confirmed.
