WOO Network raises $30M Series A from Three Arrows Capital, PSP Soteria Ventures, Gate Ventures, QCP Capital, Crypto.com Capital, and others
GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

WOO Network(https://woo.org/) today announced the completion of its $30M Series 
A with backing from Three Arrows Capital, PSP Soteria Ventures, Gate Ventures, 
QCP Capital, and Crypto.com Capital. The round saw investors across core 
pillars in the industry: trading institutions, exchanges, venture funds, and 
research firms such as AscendEX, AntAlpha, MEXC Global, LBank, Fenbushi 
Capital, BitMart, 3Commas Capital, TokenInsight Research, AVATAR (Avalanche 
Asia Star Fund), and ViaBTC Capital.

The strategic equity round, which was oversubscribed by 200%, comes after the 
successful launch of WOO X, a trading platform that provides traders with top 
market liquidity at lower to zero trading fees, and the alpha launch of WOOFi, 
a decentralized exchange platform providing the best possible swap prices and 
reduced slippage at lower fees.

The fundraise is an attestation of growing institutional confidence towards the 
network and the immense value it brings to the crypto trading market.

"While the exchange landscape is growing more competitive, WOO X is poised to 
make a mark with its deep liquidity coupled with lower to zero-fee trading – 
these two propositions are phenomenally useful for institutional and retail 
traders to achieve superior trading execution." – Su Zhu - Co-Founder at Three 
Arrows Capital.

"It is remarkable what WOO X was able to achieve shortly after its launch – top 
trading experience by combining the best of market depths, trading spreads, and 
competitive trading fees. We look forward to their upcoming futures trading 
release, guiding their product development with our expertise in spot, 
derivatives, and options trading and helping them to grow into the ultimate 
trading platform they envision to be." – Darius Sit - Founder and Chief 
Investment Officer at QCP Capital.

Part of the new capital will be used to accelerate global market expansion 
through talent acquisition and the opening of a new R&D regional office in 
Warsaw, Poland. Capital will also be allocated towards the development of new 
product lines such as futures, social trading, and a suite of innovative DeFi 
trading and yield generating products.

"While WOO X remains the flagship CeFi exchange product of WOO Network, the 
fundraise allows us to set our sights further and venture deeper into the DeFi 
space through our suite of swapping and yield-generating products under WOOFi. 
These efforts will further extend the network's vision of providing the 
best-in-class liquidity, trading execution, and yield-generating strategies at 
lower to no cost across CeFi and DeFi," commented Jack Tan, Co-Founder of WOO 
Network.

Since its initial seed funding in 2020, WOO Network has experienced tremendous 
growth. At any given moment, the network provides one of the highest trading 
depths of between 250-300 BTC and 2500-3000 ETH on a tight 2% +/- bid/ask 
spread along with millions of dollars in altcoin liquidity.

In line with deep liquidity, the growth in trading volumes grew significantly 
from $20m daily in early 2020 to an average of $1B in daily volume in October 
2021 and experienced an all-time high of $2.6B in mid-September 2021.

"The liquidity that WOO Network is amassing has only grown deeper, and its 
volume traded from millions to billions. What they have built is something 
truly unique in the space -- they are growing to become a liquidity behemoth 
and a force to be reckoned with across CeFi and DeFi." – Sherwin Lee - General 
Partner at PSP Soteria Ventures and Founder of De-Fi Capital.
