Flowdesk从Blackrock和HV Capital筹集了1.02亿美元，以扩大其加密货币营销业务

做市商通过与代币发行人和交流合作，在加密行业发挥不可或缺的作用，以确保每枚硬币的买卖订单

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是一家加密推销商，为交易所和机构提供流动性，已在HV Capital领导的C系列融资中筹集了1.02亿美元。

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.

该公司还提供加密货币交易服务，以其作为做市商的角色而闻名，与代币发行人和交易所合作，以确保可以始终实现从比特币到$ trump的每一个硬币的买卖订单。 Flowdesk与包括Binance，Coinbase和Kraken在内的150个加密货币交易所合作，以及许多交易所交易的基金发行人。

“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首席执行官Guilhem Chaumont告诉Fortune：“加密中的流动性非常非常非常复杂，比传统市场更复杂，通常是单个场地和单一资产对。” “为了为此，您可以随时随地拥有流动性，您基本上需要更多的覆盖范围……这就是为什么我们采用这种方法来涵盖全部资产范围和全部交流范围的原因。”

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.

与平均资金回合不同，这一最新提高包括股权和债务融资。 Chaumont说，尽管他无法透露确切的崩溃，但筹集的1.02亿美元中约有10％以贝莱德的债务形式出现，这些债务将来需要偿还。其余的是来自HV Capital的股权融资。

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

Chaumont说，他决定承担一些债务，以保留对公司的控制权，同时增加现金储备。

“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说：“我们不会用100％的股权来扩展资产负债表，因为这对我们自己会稀释太多。” “与此同时，我们不想等待我们的利润建立资产负债表，因为这需要数年的时间。”

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.

尽管Chaumont拒绝分享债务协议的详细信息（例如还要偿还付款以及如果有利息，他说他对偿还债务并不烦恼，因为该公司有利可图并迅速增长。他说，在没有透露确切的数字的情况下，Flowdesk的年收入在2024年增长了八倍。

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.

该公司以多种方式产生收入。 Flowdesk的一些服务是基于订阅的。该公司还为其非处方交易和从事专有交易的费用收取费用，当时一家公司使用自己的资本投资股票，加密货币或其他资产来试图兑现利润。

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的一些最大竞争对手是加密公司，这些公司提供了Galaxy Digital，Cumberland和Jump Crypto等市场制作服务。但是Chaumont说，Flowdesk脱颖而出，是因为它是技术和金融服务公司的运作，并使用自己的软件来促进客户的交易。

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于去年1月由Cathay Innovation领导的一项耗资5000万美元的B系列B。自2020年推出以来，该公司筹集了1.82亿美元。Chaumont拒绝在其最新资金回合中分享该公司的估值。

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，该公司将在未来12个月内利用本轮筹集的资金雇用100名员工，以增加目前的150名员工。
