"KuCoin's valuation has hit $10 billion following a $150 million funding round led by Jump Crypto. The raise was its first in four years and was also supported by Circle Ventures, IDG Capital and Matrix Partners, the firm said in a release on Tuesday. In April, its venture capital arm set out its stall with the launch of a $100 million “Creators Fund.” The latest round follows its series A in November 2018, when it raised $20 million at a $100 million valuation."
