WonderFi Technologies, a Canadian cryptocurrency firm, said in a press release it has closed the acquisition of Coinberry for $38.3 million. Backed by Kevin O'Leary and FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried, WonderFi has become the first Canadian crypto company that operates multiple crypto licenses.
With the acquisition, WonderFi gets an additional 225,000 users and almost $100 million of client assets under custody. Coinberry CEO, Andrei Poliakov, will join WonderFi as Head of Brokerages.
