Hoptrail Raises on Echo.xyz!

October 11, 2024

We are proud to be the first UK company to raise on echo.xyz 🙌 The deal was finalised at a $5.85 million valuation and attracted over 40 high net-worth crypto investors.

"This deal is a landmark in several ways", said Henry Burrows, Hoptrail's CEO. "Not only was it Echo's first UK deal, it was also their first secondary market transaction. And we're really excited to leverage new ways of fund raising to secure Hoptrail's future". Henry added:

"We'd been looking for ways to simplify our cap table for a while, and some of the traditional routes were timely and costly. Echo was such an obvious solution. As a crypto-focused business it was also great to be able to raise in USDC, as we're using crypto more and more as part of our business. More than that, the deal closed in days and removed a lot of the back and forth we might have with other fund raising options. If you've been sleeping on the crypto fund raising sector, then you need to check out https://echo.xyz/."

Why we built Cases: A personal note on solving the crypto source of wealth headache

October 8, 2025
Six years ago, I struggled to buy a home with legitimate crypto proceeds — a problem shared by thousands of investors and banks unable to verify digital wealth. That experience led to Hoptrail. Today, we’re launching Cases, a platform giving compliance teams real-time, actionable source of wealth analytics for crypto onboarding.
