Zilliqa Capital, the Singapore-based technology company, has launched blockchain platform Zilliqa Research.
Zilliqa Capital will invest in Zilliqa’s native utility token “ZIL” as a strategic asset, and selectively invest in Zilliqa and relevant non-Zilliqa based businesses.
The goal of Zilliqa Capital is to operate as a permanent capital, ecosystem-focused investment company, that will invest in decentralised and fintech solutions across investing, wealth management, insurance, lending, payments, and remittances, as well as critical infrastructures that will enable Web 3.0.
Michael H. Conn, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chief Investment Officer at Zilliqa Capital, said:
“Over time, the fintech industry has made significant inroads in realising the vision of its earliest players: an equitable financial ecosystem, distinguished by accessibility, efficiency, and composability. At Zilliqa Capital, we are firm believers in the long-term, life-changing potential of blockchain technology, reflected in our support for promising projects striving to serve the unbanked and underbanked across the ASEAN and India region. We aim to be pragmatic and not dogmatic in seeking and delivering solutions that broaden access to financial services and products that are both accretive to our investors, as well as to the people served by the companies we support. We believe Singapore to be the ideal hub for the development and growth of our innovative approach to investing in the fintech and digital asset space.”
Zilliqa Research blockchain’s Co-Founder, President, and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Amrit Kumar, will also serve as Zilliqa Capital’s Co-Chief Investment Officer and Director. On this launch, Mr. Kumar commented that:
“Zilliqa Research will leverage its strategic relationship with Zilliqa Capital and therefore developers and startups building on the Zilliqa platform will have to look no further for their immediate funding needs.”
