Cointel secures $7.4m to bridge trust gap in digital finance

By Vriti Gothi

Cointel has raised $7.4 million in a funding round, led by Avalanche, with participation from Sugafam Inc., to reshape digital finance education and accelerate its expansion into new global markets.

The fresh capital will support Cointel’s entry into North America in Q4 2025, following early traction in Japan and Turkey, underscoring the platform’s growing international relevance. Positioned at the convergence of artificial intelligence, crypto, and education, Cointel is building a globally scalable ecosystem designed to equip both novice users and seasoned traders with the tools to navigate digital assets confidently and securely.

Launched in 2025, Cointel delivers an AI-powered subscription platform that unifies real-time insights, gamified learning, and verified intelligence. By addressing the persistent gaps in financial literacy, risk management, and market trust, the platform empowers customers to make informed decisions while fostering sustainable adoption of digital assets.

As part of its growth strategy, Cointel has entered into a strategic collaboration with KuCoin, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges. With a user base of more than 41 million across 200+ countries, KuCoin offers advanced blockchain infrastructure, deep liquidity, and a secure, compliance-first trading environment further enhancing the Cointel ecosystem.

The urgency of Cointel’s mission is clear: global crypto adoption remains under 7%, with fewer than 3% of people worldwide holding Bitcoin. At the same time, over $30 billion has been lost to scams since 2021, underscoring the industry’s pressing need for robust education, security, and trustworthy digital tools.

By combining cutting-edge technology with user-centric design, Cointel aims to reduce this trust gap and position itself as a catalyst for the next wave of global digital finance adoption.
