China Blockchain Conflux Gains $10M Investment From DWF

Conflux, which recently agreed to build blockchain-based SIM cards with China's second-largest wireless carrier, received a $10 million investment from DWF Labs, a digital asset market maker and investment firm.

DWF Labs bought tokens of the China-based blockchain platform, which claims to be the only crypto company with approval to operate in the country after the government banned all crypto products in 2021.
