About us
To provide global crypto infrastructure for people, institutions, and AI, empowering anyone in the world to control their own money.
Founded in 2011, Blockchain.com connects the world to the future of finance as a global cryptocurrency infrastructure provider. Since launching the original blockchain explorer, the company has grown to serve over 95 million wallet holders and 40 million verified users across 200+ countries, facilitating more than $1 trillion in crypto transactions. The platform processes approximately one-third of all Bitcoin network activity and recently secured a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license for regulated operations across the European Economic Area. The culture is built around fearlessness and hyper productivity, with teams focused on challenging the status quo and expanding human economic freedom through secure, compliant digital asset infrastructure.
Products
The core consumer product is a SuperApp that functions as a personal brokerage for buying, selling, and swapping thousands of cryptocurrencies. The non-custodial DeFi Wallet lets users maintain control of private keys while connecting to decentralized applications and managing NFTs. Institutional clients access sophisticated OTC trading desks, crypto-backed loans, margin lending, and an advanced options and perpetual futures platform with Level 3 compliance for custody and staking. Recent additions include Blockchain Wealth for high-net-worth investors, SnapMarkets prediction platform, and 24/7 perpetual trading for pre-IPO equities including SpaceX-linked contracts.
Funding
Blockchain.com has raised approximately $720 million across multiple funding rounds from investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, GV, Baillie Gifford, and Lakestar. The company peaked at a $14 billion valuation in 2022 before raising a $110 million Series E in late 2023 led by Kingsway Capital at a reduced valuation under $7 billion. In May 2026, the company confidentially filed paperwork with the SEC for an initial public offering, signaling its preparation for public markets despite the volatile crypto environment.
