- BlockFi saw more users join in the week of the halving than any other week in its history.
- 7,000 new accounts have had funds added, putting the startup at a 25% month-over-month growth rate, per the firm's figures.

- The lending platform recently widened its focus on Asian markets. In June, it hired ex-Bank of America Merrill Lynch global equities portfolio sales trader Rishi Ramchandani to head the company's business development in the region.
