Jan3, a company founded by bitcoin maximalist Samson Mow, has received a large dollar investment to advance the construction of a wallet called Aqua Wallet.
The seed round was led by Fulgur Ventures, but also included participation from Grupo Salinas, Tether, Lightning Ventures, East Ventures, Plan B Fund, Bitcoin Opportunity Fund and NYDIG. Grupo Salinas was founded by billionaire Ricardo Salinas, who has been supporting bitcoin initiatives for several years.
With the $5 million investment, the company that has supported several nation states in buying bitcoin promises to make it easier to access the currency's ecosystem.
