- Recently, Atani received authorization from the Bank of Spain to operate as an electronic wallet custodian and to provide exchange services for virtual assets and fiduciary currency.
- With the introduction of its own exchange brokerage service, Atani allows users to access, from a single account, the combined digital assets and liquidity of the leading international cryptocurrency exchanges.
- With the funding, Atani will be able to expand its foreign operations more quickly and expand its exchange business.
Atani, a crypto fintech startup based in Spain, has successfully concluded a $6 million investment round.
Cometa, a venture capital firm based in Mexico, spearheaded the round, which also included participation from JME Ventures, Conexo Ventures, and CDTI. The group of business angels included Web3 professionals like Neil Cunha-Gomes, Head of FinTech & Crypto for EMEA at Softbank.
Atani, the cryptocurrency broker that over 300,000 traders trust worldwide, is the place to find and trade any cryptocurrency. From a single account, users can safely purchase and sell thousands of tokens on the top exchanges in the world, track market trends, and manage their portfolios.
Established in 2019, Atani caters to clients from over 200 nations, handles over 1,500 million in trading activity, and was recently authorized by the Bank of Spain as a Virtual Assets Service Provider. With the highest level of regulatory assurance, Atani has been allowed to offer its own exchange service thanks to this licensing.
“Before Atani existed, crypto traders had to open multiple accounts with different exchanges, devote countless hours to learn how to use each of them and get frustrated trying to do things as basic as executing an order or checking their balance. The crypto ecosystem was missing an experience similar to that of digital stock brokers” said Paul Barroso, Co-founder & CPO of Atani.
“We founded Atani back in 2019 driven by a long-term vision of making investing in crypto markets simple, efficient, and secure. Over the years, our team has proven its unique ability to deliver high-performing regulated financial infrastructure. In the current market context, we are more committed than ever to building the next generation of financial technology” added Haydée Barroso, Co-founder & CEO.
“Atani has built infrastructure for the foundational use cases of web 3.0, transacted volumes and user activity validates the need for such a platform. Going forward, we are particularly excited about how they will enable crypto use cases for businesses: allowing them to expand their financial products offering to end users,” added Pepe Bolaños, Managing Partner at Cometa and early backer of Bitso, Latin America’s first crypto unicorn.
By merging the assets and liquidity from multiple cryptocurrency exchanges, Atani automatically directs each transaction to the platform with the best deal, giving its customers access to every cryptocurrency available on the market from a single account. There are presently more than 200 nations where the service is accessible. With the funds, the organization plans to grow its exchange brokerage service faster and reach new markets globally.
