NEW YORK, April 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — CertiK, the leading global Web3 and blockchain security firm, today announced an additional $60 million USD investment from SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Tiger Global. This marks SoftBank’s first venture into the Web3 security space. CertiK’s $88 million series B3 round and $2 billion valuation were announced within the past month, led by Insight Partners. This additional funding brings the total amount invested in CertiK over the past nine months to $290 million USD.
CertiK’s mission is to secure the Web3 world through an end-to-end set of security services, providing clients with a one-stop-shop for all their security needs. Demand for industry-leading blockchain security remains high in 2022, following over $1.3 billion USD of crypto assets lost to cybercriminals in 2021. Within just the first quarter of this year, the industry experienced over $1 billion in cryptocurrency losses due to four major bridge attacks, and over $200 million in various flash loan attacks.
