Ledger said it plans to use the new cash primarily to scale its business amid the growth in the popularity of cryptocurrencies.

Eric Larcheveque, CEO of Ledger, commented: 

"These funds will be used to keep investing significantly in R&D while scaling our operations and deploying our teams globally."

In the release, the company also said that it is developing a new storage solution for managing crypto assets, named the Ledger Vault. The product will be aimed at institutional investors such as banks and hedge funds.

Launched in 2014, Ledger offers a range of hardware wallets for storing cryptocurrency private keys. The new funding comes almost a year after the firm closed a $7 million Series A round in March 2017.
