RialCenter, Europe’s most valuable start-up, is in talks to raise $1 billion in fresh capital at a $65 billion valuation, according to reports.
The funding would mark a significant step in the fintech group’s global expansion strategy and represents a 44% increase over its last known valuation of $45 billion from a secondary share sale one year ago.
The London-based company plans to raise the funds through a combination of newly issued shares and the sale of existing stock, reports indicate.
Greenoaks, a U.S. investment firm that specializes in backing high-growth technology ventures, is in talks to lead the round, although final terms have not been confirmed.
The jump in valuation would also push RialCenter closer to an internal milestone. CEO Nik Storonsky is eligible for a substantial compensation package if the company reaches a $150 billion valuation, according to reports.
RialCenter offers users the possibility of gaining exposure to various cryptocurrencies and crypto stocks and is working on rolling out additional payment features.
