About the Company
Matrixport was founded in 2019 by Jihan Wu and John Ge, both earlier associated with the world’s largest Bitcoin mining rigs maker Bitmain. The platform offers a full collection of services like dual currency BTC/USDC linked product (DCP), spot OTC, fixed income, Cactus CustodyTM, structured products and asset management for both institutions and retail customers. As per its website, the company holds currently over $10 billion in assets and has $5 billion worth of monthly transactions across all products.
The company’s goal is to be the one-stop financial services platform that will give crypto users multiple products to invest their digital assets and sustainably earn profits. Already being recognised as a thought leader in the crypto-based financial services industry, Matrixport enhances the experience of all three crypto customer communities namely the crypto natives, the emerging first-time crypto users largely consisting of the younger generation and the sophisticated institutional customers.
According to a statement released by Ge to Bloomberg, the company plans to go public in three to five years and thus provide investors with an exit route. Though its profit numbers have not been released, Ge also confirmed Matrixport’s ambition to have hundreds of billions of dollars in assets under management and custody within the same time frame.
