Alchemy Pay Raises $10M at $400M to Push South Korean Expansion Plans

The company, which provides a way for crypto companies to access the fiat payment system, aims to capitalize on South Korea's "high level of crypto acceptance" and assist local firms in achieving greater internationalization, according to a statement shared with CoinDesk. It has previously worked with the likes of Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay and Apple Pay to this end.

Last week, crypto exchange OKX plugged Alchemy Pay into its platform to make it easier for customers to purchase cryptocurrency using their local currencies.

The $10 million injection into Alchemy continues DWF Labs' prolific investment streak of recent weeks. The market maker has now put its name to eight investments or funding rounds of at least $10 million into crypto and Web3 projects in the past six weeks. The combined total reaches $165 million.

The current bearish market is "the best time to join the investment space,” DWF's managing partner Andrei Grachev recently told CoinDesk. “We accumulated enough funds from our profits to invest in projects now."
