BlockBeats news, on February 4, according to Fortune, crypto crime-fighting startup TRM Labs has completed a new $70 million Series C round at a $1 billion valuation, led by its early investor Blockchain Capital, with participation from a number of well-known traditional investment institutions including Goldman Sachs, Bessemer, Brevan Howard, Thoma Bravo, and Citi Ventures. This round of financing has brought TRM Labs' valuation to $1 billion, making it a so-called "crypto unicorn."
With its blockchain analysis software, TRM Labs has become a well-known brand among global law enforcement agencies and an increasing number of private companies that use cryptocurrency for fund transfers. According to TRM Labs co-founder Castaño, about 40% of TRM's clients come from the private sector, but he said this percentage is growing as financial institutions explore tokenized deposits, equities, and other assets.
