Estimates show that VCs invested roughly $30 billion into the crypto industry. The $30 billion invested in crypto and blockchain is four times larger than the investments made in 2020. Debank has announced that just before the year ends, the defi portfolio tracking company raised $25 million in equity financing from strategic investors. According to Debank, the financing brings the firm’s overall valuation to $200 million.

According to Debank’s web portal, “Debank is evolving into something new” and the website adds “new features are coming soon.” As of today, Debank states that users can track 798 protocols across 17 different blockchains. Debank users can access the web portal via a Web3 wallet in order to create a custom profile and it also offers a token swap feature.
