VALR Secures $55 Million Funding Boost to Transform Global Crypto Trading

We are thrilled to announce that VALR has secured $55 million in equity funding from some of the world’s most reputable investors, including Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and F-Prime, an arm of Fidelity Investments. This significant investment reflects the confidence in VALR’s mission as a global crypto exchange, where professional and retail traders alike can securely buy, sell, store, stake, and transact an extensive range of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more. Headquartered and licensed in South Africa—with regulatory approval to operate across Europe—VALR has rapidly become a trusted platform for over 1,100 corporate and institutional clients, alongside nearly one million global users. The newly raised funds will be strategically deployed to enhance our high-performance trading platform, further developing our deeply liquid spot, spot margin, and perpetual futures markets. In addition, the investment will bolster our yield products, including our liquid staking solutions, and drive the continuous improvement of our world-class API that delivers real-time and historical market data to an ever-growing community of developers and institutions. By strengthening our advanced trading tools, robust risk management systems, and easy currency conversion features—including support for USD, ZAR, and more—this funding will also support our ongoing commitment to delivering competitive fees, swift onboarding, and outstanding customer support. As we embark on this exciting phase of growth and technological innovation, VALR remains dedicated to redefining digital asset trading and ensuring a seamless, secure, and highly efficient trading experience for users at every level.
