Founder of yearn.finance: Managing Multiple Signs is more than a niche.

According to The Telegraph, Type Banking, the parent company of London-based fintech app Type Banking (formerly R8), which enables bitcoin trading, is expected to go public on the London Stock Exchange in October. The company also plans to raise £ 7.5million ($ 9.87million) from pre-IPO investors. As previously reported, in April of last year, R8, along with Stone and other investors, announced the completion of a $ 5 million funding round. In August, R8 switched to mod and hired former Alipay frontman Rita Liu to team up. In February, Christopher Isaac Biz Stone, founder of Twitter and Medium, announced an investment in Mod Banking. Mod Banking supports purchases of Bitcoin from users around the world outside of the United States, but with an exchange rate of 0.99%. Bitcoins purchased by users are blocked on BitGo for storage. The app also supports instant conversion to GBP.
