Flowdesk從Blackrock和HV Capital籌集了1.02億美元，以擴大其加密貨幣營銷業務

做市商通過與代幣發行人和交流合作，在加密行業發揮不可或缺的作用，以確保每枚硬幣的買賣訂單

Flowdesk, a crypto market maker that provides liquidity to exchanges and institutions, has raised $102 million in a Series C funding round led by HV Capital.

Flowdesk是一家加密推銷商，為交易所和機構提供流動性，已在HV Capital領導的C系列融資中籌集了1.02億美元。

The company, which also offers crypto trading services, is best known for its role as a market maker, working with token issuers and exchanges to ensure that buy and sell orders for every coin from Bitcoin to $TRUMP can be fulfilled at all times. Flowdesk works with 150 crypto exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, as well as a number of exchange-traded fund issuers.

該公司還提供加密貨幣交易服務，以其作為做市商的角色而聞名，與代幣發行人和交易所合作，以確保可以始終實現從比特幣到$ trump的每一個硬幣的買賣訂單。 Flowdesk與包括Binance，Coinbase和Kraken在內的150個加密貨幣交易所合作，以及許多交易所交易的基金發行人。

“Liquidity in crypto is very, very complex, much more complex than in traditional markets, where usually it’s a single venue and a single asset pair,” Flowdesk CEO Guilhem Chaumont told Fortune. “For this to have liquidity everywhere at any time, you basically need more coverage…And that’s why we come with this approach where we are covering the full asset range and the full scope of exchanges.”

Flowdesk首席執行官Guilhem Chaumont告訴Fortune：“加密中的流動性非常非常非常複雜，比傳統市場更複雜，通常是單個場地和單一資產對。” “為了為此，您可以隨時隨地擁有流動性，您基本上需要更多的覆蓋範圍……這就是為什麼我們採用這種方法來涵蓋全部資產範圍和全部交流範圍的原因。”

Unlike average funding rounds, this latest raise includes both equity and debt financing. Chaumont said that while he cannot disclose the exact breakdown, about 10% of the $102 million raised comes in the form of debt from BlackRock that will need to be repaid in the future. The rest is equity financing from HV Capital.

與平均資金回合不同，這一最新提高包括股權和債務融資。 Chaumont說，儘管他無法透露確切的崩潰，但籌集的1.02億美元中約有10％以貝萊德的債務形式出現，這些債務將來需要償還。其餘的是來自HV Capital的股權融資。

Chaumont says he decided to take on some debt in order to retain control of the company while increasing its cash reserves.

Chaumont說，他決定承擔一些債務，以保留對公司的控制權，同時增加現金儲備。

“We are not going to scale our balance sheet with 100% equity, because that would get too much dilution for ourselves,” Chaumont said. “At the same time, we don’t want to wait for our profits to build that balance sheet, because it’s going to take years.”

Chaumont說：“我們不會用100％的股權來擴展資產負債表，因為這對我們自己會稀釋太多。” “與此同時，我們不想等待我們的利潤建立資產負債表，因為這需要數年的時間。”

While Chaumont declined to share the details of the debt agreement—like when the repayment is due and if it comes with interest—he said he is unworried about paying it back because the company is profitable and growing rapidly. Without disclosing exact numbers, he said, Flowdesk’s annual revenue increased eightfold in 2024.

儘管Chaumont拒絕分享債務協議的詳細信息（例如還要償還付款以及如果有利息，他說他對償還債務並不煩惱，因為該公司有利可圖並迅速增長。他說，在沒有透露確切的數字的情況下，Flowdesk的年收入在2024年增長了八倍。

The company produces revenue in multiple ways. Some of Flowdesk’s services are subscription-based. The company also charges fees for its over-the-counter trading and engages in proprietary trading—when a firm uses its own capital to invest in stocks, crypto or other assets to try to turn a profit.

該公司以多種方式產生收入。 Flowdesk的一些服務是基於訂閱的。該公司還為其非處方交易和從事專有交易的費用收取費用，當時一家公司使用自己的資本投資股票，加密貨幣或其他資產來試圖兌現利潤。

Some of Flowdesk’s biggest competitors are crypto companies that offer market making services like Galaxy Digital, Cumberland, and Jump Crypto. But Chaumont says Flowdesk stands out because it operates as both a technology and financial services company, using its own software to facilitate trading for customers.

Flowdesk的一些最大競爭對手是加密公司，這些公司提供了Galaxy Digital，Cumberland和Jump Crypto等市場製作服務。但是Chaumont說，Flowdesk脫穎而出，是因為它是技術和金融服務公司的運作，並使用自己的軟件來促進客戶的交易。

Most recently, Flowdesk closed a $50 million Series B led by Cathay Innovation in January of last year. With this financing round, the company has raised a total of $182 million since launching in 2020. Chaumont declined to share the company’s valuation in its latest funding round.

最近，Flowdesk於去年1月由Cathay Innovation領導的一項耗資5000萬美元的B系列B。自2020年推出以來，該公司籌集了1.82億美元。Chaumont拒絕在其最新資金回合中分享該公司的估值。

Chaumont says the company will use the money raised in this round to hire 100 employees in the next 12 months, to add to its current headcount of 150.

Chaumont表示，該公司將在未來12個月內利用本輪籌集的資金僱用100名員工，以增加目前的150名員工。
