The round, completed in June, was co-led&#13;<br \/>\nby global venture capital firm 500 Startups, Taiwan&#8217;s H&amp;D Asset Management&#13;<br \/>\nCompany and New Economy Ventures. Other investors from Taiwan, Silicon Valley,&#13;<br \/>\nSingapore, Hong Kong and Japan also participated in the round.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The company intends to use the latest funding&#13;<br \/>\nto fuel expansion in the East Asian, European, and North American markets,&#8221;&#13;<br \/>\nsays Paul Fan, CEO of CYBAVO. &#8220;The funds will also be used for continued&#13;<br \/>\ninvestment in the research and development of cybersecurity and blockchain&#13;<br \/>\ntechnology, and to further raise the level of customer and product&#13;<br \/>\nsatisfaction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>Digital asset custody and management is a USD&#13;<br \/>\n$20 billion market, but not many companies offer end-to-end turn-key solutions&#13;<br \/>\nfor enterprises and institutional investors. CYBAVO offers these investors a&#13;<br \/>\nsolution to achieve frictionless adoption of crypto assets with a focus on&#13;<br \/>\ndigital asset security and regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>This year, CYBAVO was accepted into 500&#13;<br \/>\nStartups&#8217; flagship accelerator program. Through the program, it will have&#13;<br \/>\naccess to its global network of mentors, founders, and industry stakeholders.&#13;<br \/>\nThe company also opened its first European office in Luxembourg and completed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybavo.com\/blog\/cybavo-fit-4-start-graduation\/?utm_source=PR&amp;utm_medium=PR&amp;utm_campaign=prea_announce_MOR\">Fit 4 Start<\/a>, Luxembourg&#8217;s leading startup&#13;<br \/>\nacceleration program. The program provided CYBAVO with tailored coaching,&#13;<br \/>\nfunding, access to key network connections, and advice on regulations and the&#13;<br \/>\nmarket in Europe. In June, CYBAVO won first place in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybavo.com\/blog\/cybavo-selectusa-cybersecurity-first-place\/\">SelectUSA Investment Summit&#8217;s Cybersecurity pitching&#13;<br \/>\nsession<\/a>, a program led by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Thanks to the experience and vision of&#13;<br \/>\nCYBAVO&#8217;s founding team, we think there&#8217;s great potential for the company to&#13;<br \/>\ndevelop into a full-stack digital asset management platform,&#8221; said Shawn&#13;<br \/>\nChu, Principal at 500 Startups.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>When asked about his insights on the future of&#13;<br \/>\ndigital assets, Managing Partner at New Economy Ventures Ethan Tsai said, &#8220;We&#13;<br \/>\nare optimistic about the future growth and development of digital assets and&#13;<br \/>\nblockchain technology and we are particularly interested in partnering with&#13;<br \/>\ntechnology companies that can provide infrastructure for crypto assets.

The protection of these assets is the&#13;<br \/>\nbasic building block of this industry, and one of the most important issues the&#13;<br \/>\nindustry must tackle is how to manage private keys in a secure and efficient way.&#13;<br \/>\nI&#8217;m very glad that the team at CYBAVO can present an unrivaled solution for&#13;<br \/>\nprivate key management. This solution not only provides security, but it&#8217;s also&#13;<br \/>\nan end-to-end, intuitive and easy-to-use system that increases operational&#13;<br \/>\nefficiency.
