The company, which claims to be the world’s largest Ethereum wallet, will now set its sights on expanding in the Asian and United States cryptocurrency markets.

Imtoken’s chief executive officer and founder, Ben He, emphasized the company’s desire to penetrate the Southeast Asian markets before looking toward major regional players such as Korea, Japan, and India – stating that said jurisdictions’ “regulations are maturing quickly.” After Asia, Imtoken will look toward major African markets, such as Nigeria.

IDG Capital partner, Young Guo, stated that “Imtoken has developed its product into one of the top crypto asset wallets in the world with such a sound reputation. We believe it will become a significant infrastructure for the tokenization manifesto, benefitting both the crypto economy and blockchain technology. We’re excited to back Imtoken.”

Imtoken indicated that much of the newly raised capital will be put toward developing new features, including support of BTC, EOS, and a number of other altcoins.
