Singapore, Singapore -- (SBWire) -- 04/27/2022 --The Singapore-based financial technology platform Cake DeFi has launched a venture capital arm that is going to be pouring funds into start-ups in areas such as Web3 and gaming. The new arm already has an initial $100 million in funds and picked its first investment target - the start-up The Edge of Company. The objective of launching the new arm of the business is to raise the profile of blockchain and cryptocurrency and make these more accessible worldwide. Given that Cake DeFi is one of the most impressive fintech platforms in the region when it comes to growth this is clearly a huge opportunity for any of the start-ups that the business chooses to work with. Support is likely to be global, especially when it comes to international scaling. The new VC arm of Cake is especially keen to invest in start-ups that are focused on NFTs, blockchain and the metaverse.
