WeLab has closed a US$220 million Series D strategic financing round, comprising a mix of debt and equity.

The raise is the largest digital banking capital raise in Asia so far in 2025 and the biggest funding round in the company’s history.

The round attracted new investors alongside continued support from existing shareholders and strategic capital partners, including Prudential Hong Kong Ltd, Fubon Bank (Hong Kong), Hong Kong Investment Corporation (HKIC), TOM Group, Allianz X, and HSBC.

The funding will support WeLab’s expansion in Southeast Asia and further development of its Hong Kong business, including broader product offerings and customer growth.

WeLab will use the funding to develop new business lines, enhance its technology platform, and pursue selective mergers and acquisitions.

The company will also allocate part of the capital to its recently announced AI strategy and its AI-focused partnership with Google.

The company said the investment will support the development of AI agents, personalisation capabilities, and data-driven marketing tools aimed at improving customer experience and operational efficiency.

WeLab operates digital banking businesses in Hong Kong and Indonesia.

In Hong Kong, WeLab Bank is currently the largest digital bank by revenue and has received several industry awards in 2025, including recognition from Euromoney and FinanceAsia.

Simon Loong, Founder and Group CEO of WeLab, said:

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
