Crypto exchange Gemini announced today that it has brought in external capital for the first time, raising $400 million at a valuation of $7.1 billion.
Morgan Creek Digital led the growth equity financing with participation from 10T, ParaFi, Newflow Partners, Marcy Venture Partners, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and others.
The news confirms earlier reports from The Block, which reported in September that Gemini had been exploring a fundraise since the spring and was in the final stages of the round. Co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss had funded the exchange by themselves until this point.
The funding is reportedly to help Gemini finance the building of a more decentralized metaverse. The announcement focused on the ways Gemini has diversified its efforts in the crypto space and sought to expand beyond traditional exchange services, like growing its non-fungible token (NFT) platform, Nifty Gateway. Since its launch, the platform has generated more than $420 million
