The firm said in a Twitter thread that other "crypto-native investors and family offices," have also participated in the funding. The funding comes amid Amber's efforts to reorganize business structure by scaling down mass consumer efforts and non-essential business lines. However, the latest round of fundraising "demonstrates investor confidence in Amber's business," the firm pointed out.
As iHodl earlier reported, Amber Group canceled performance-based bonuses for staff, citing slow business growth amid the crypto winter. Amber Group CEO, Michael Wu, confirmed the cancellation of bonuses, saying that the firm will move forward with reducing business costs.
