Data analytics platform CryptoQuant announced that its parent company, Team Blackbird, has closed a $6.5 million Series A led by South Korea-based Atinum Investment.

"Digital assets are considered particularly risky speculative assets due to the difficulty in finding reliable information and engaging in speculative investments without data analysis," Joo Gi-Young, CEO of Team Blackbird, said in a press release. "CryptoQuant’s main value lies in proving that it is possible to redefine investment methodologies for digital assets and establish criteria for evaluating asset value based on accurate data."
