The investment came from a diverse group of investors, including ABN AMRO and the Techstars Future of Finance Accelerator, among others.

hypeal.com claims that the company’s co-founders, Andrea Baldereschi, Marco Fazio, and Akshay Gupta, alongside the Techstars team, played a key role in this funding round.

CEO Marco Fazio says, “The best is yet to come. With this funding in place, hypeal.com is well-positioned to lead the way in the exciting world of digital assets.”
