- Tesseract partnered with U.K. custody firm Copper in October 2020 to launch a margin trading lending service, allowing clients to borrow funds and trade them automatically across different exchanges.
- Other participants in the round included Coinbase Ventures, BlackFin Capital Partners and Jabre Capital Partners Family Office, Tesseract said in an emailed statement.
- Tesseract plans to use the money for hiring and product development.
- The firm said its clients include international financial institutions, which it declined to identify.
