Cointel, an AI-native platform for crypto education and intelligence, has raised $7.4 million USD in a strategic funding round led by Avalanche, the U.S.-based high-performance Layer 1 blockchain, alongside Japan’s Sugafam Inc. and other top investors.
This funding solidifies Cointel’s position at the intersection of AI, crypto, and education, building a globally scalable platform to empower new users and data-driven traders alike.
“Cointel isn’t just another tool—it’s the compass for the next generation of digital investors. In Japan, where trust and precision matter, it’s already becoming a daily habit.” — Sugafam Inc.
The announcement comes at a critical time: global crypto adoption remains below 7%, with more than $30 billion lost to scams since 2021—highlighting the urgent need for user education, security, and reliable tools.
With this round, Cointel is set to expand into North America in Q4 2025, following early traction in Japan and Turkey, by launching localized educational tools, influencer-led campaigns, and brokerage integrations.
Cointel also revealed a strategic collaboration with KuCoin, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges serving over 41 million users across 200+ countries, to enhance accessibility, promote education, and drive global expansion through community-driven initiatives.
