Advanced Blockchain AG (Scale Frankfurt, Primary Market Düsseldorf, XETRA: ISIN DE000A0M93V6) has made a 7-figure investment, via a subsidiary, into NEAR protocol's 150 Million USD financing round. The round was led by Three Arrows Capital with participation from Mechanism Capital, Dragonfly Capital, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Alameda Research, among other leading VCs in crypto.

Advanced Blockchain is thus investing in a leading and rapidly growing blockchain and smart contract platform, which generates added value for its users through the increasing demand and use of its native tokens and service offerings. The investment round was reserved exclusively for institutional investors and therefore Advanced Blockchain was able to secure special terms related to the purchase price. In this way, Advanced Blockchain AG showcases how it indirectly enables its shareholders to invest in promising projects at attractive conditions.

"I'm delighted that we are delivering on our aspiration to provide access to cutting-edge Web 3 and DeFi infrastructure and opportunity for the everyday investors." says Simon Telian - Chief Investment Officer of Advanced Blockchain AG

"Our investment is of high strategic value for Advanced Blockchain as the NEAR protocol is designed to support the development of rapidly scalable, interoperable and usable decentralized applications." adds Richard Malone for the investment team
