Not long ago, a Beijing-based mining giant known by the name of Bitmain has reportedly invested a total of $1.6 million in BitKan, a company known for their data and trading services that works via Bitcoin.
At this moment in time, Bitmain represents the sole investor present in the Series A funding round, following the angel round investment that the company had received last year, in November.
It is important to point out the fact that initially, BitKan served as a Bitcoin news provider that also allowed traders to either buy or sell bitcoin via its partner exchanges. Later on, the company took things to the next level and therefore started to offer OTC Bitcoin trading services.
