Trust Reserve is known for issuing a CNY-backed stablecoin and an HKD-backed stablecoin. In March, the stablecoin issuer successfully raised $10 million in a Series A+ funding round. The funding was led by KuCoin Ventures, with participation from Circle and IDG Capital. At that time, Trust Reserve employed approximately 60 people and had plans for further expansion.
