About The Strategic Investment

Based in Belgium, NGRAVE was founded in 2018 and has developed a 3-tier security package made from scratch. With the Connectionless touchscreen hardware wallet, LIQUID, a mobile app that connects users to the blockchain in real time, and GRAPHENE, which eliminates users’ keys without losing them, crypto investors can enjoy a service that’s as easy to use as key generation to backup.
Yi He, Co-Founder of Binance and Head of Binance Labs, commented: “Security remains one of the biggest scraps for crypto adoption. Self-custodial wallets are one of the most secure methods for storing and through our investment in digital assets NGRAVE, we are looking to continue backing innovative startups that enhance user security.”
Tyler Z., Investment Director at Binance Labs, said “Hardware wallets are one of the most secure solutions for self-custody and digital asset storage, especially during volatile and turbulent markets. Ngrave’s premium product suite offers smooth and intuitive user experience, coupled with structured security innovations. Binance Labs is excited to capitalize on the emerging hardware wallet sector and partner with NGRAVE to bring sophisticated wallet products to both retail and institutional users.”
Ruben Merre, Co-founder and CEO of NGRAVE: “We take a real end-to-end view on how users can protect their crypto. For example, when looking into existing key creation processes, we realized there were serious security gaps. So we reinvented the way keys are generated and also overcame the limitations of today’s widely used mnemonic wallets. Our goal has always been simple: we want to make the world of crypto a safer place for everyone. Our mission is to empower people to safeguard their wealth, so they can live the life they want. As the world of crypto continues to evolve, we are excited to build together with and alongside Binance Labs to give us all that peace of mind.”
