Easy Crypto raised $17 million and talked up a possible listing

Easy Crypto raised $17 million and said a public listing was possible. Siblings Janine and Alan Grainger founded the exchange in December 2017 to give New Zealanders a simple, trusted way to buy and sell digital assets, and it grew into the country's largest.

We backed Easy Crypto because Alan and Janine Grainger built the most trusted crypto on-ramp in New Zealand at a time when most platforms felt risky or opaque. The product won on simplicity, security and customer trust, which is the hardest thing to earn in this category, and that trust is what turned a local exchange into the market leader across Australasia.
