Their portfolio also includes aelf, EOS Gravity and Zeniex. The team behind the fund will support DREP Foundation with expertise in traditional finance, Internet security and blockchain technology, connecting the DREP Foundation team to valuable resources and networks.
Xiaolong Xu, co-founder at DREP Foundation said, "To be included in 360 Innovation Capital's portfolio adds another layer of validation for the work that we have done and are doing. Their diverse experience with blockchain projects across different industry verticals will prove invaluable to us in determining how we move forward. This is the beginning of an exciting journey of learning and collaborating with them."

This investment follows a string of strategic partnership announcements for DREP Foundation over the last two months, with the likes of multi-layered transaction blockchain QuarkChain, Indian enterprise-grade big data solution Zebi and Vietnamese travel tech startup Triip.me, among others. The company earlier announced funding from Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin.
