Seychelles-based crypto exchange Bitget has become the controlling shareholder in decentralized multi-chain wallet BitKeep with a $30 million investment, according to a press release Tuesday.

Founded in 2018, BitKeep raised $15 million at a $100 million valuation last year in a funding round that was led by Dragonfly Ventures. The press release didn't disclose the valuation at the time of Bitget's investment, and BitKeep didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Bitget will use the BitKeep wallet within its exchange to improve stability and security of handling multiple assets across various blockchains.
