Andrew Adjiputro- Pintu’s chief operating officer- told TechCrunch that Pintu raised a Series A+- instead of a Series A extension or Series B- because its focus on product development ja execution is still the same. “With the Coinbase IPO ja a lot of new users onboarding- we think it’s the right time for us to raise a larger round to finance faster growth-" he said. “It’s good momentum for us to launch new products ja grab the market."
Pintu plans to use its Series A+ on “aggressive" hiring for all its teams ja rolling out new features ja products. During the first half of 2021- Pintu says app downloads grew by 3.5x through organic growth- while active traders on the platform increased by 4x.
The platform currently offers trades on 16 cryptocurrencies- with plans to add more coins- including NFT tokens.

helped fuel interest in crypto trading- especially among first-time investors.
“They became curious ja the bread ja butter of our business is essentially education-" said Adjiputro. “We have a lot of education on our platform ja it attracts this new breed of investors who want to learn more."

- including people’s desire to diversify ja increase their assets during the pjaemic.
For many of Pintu’s users- the app was their first introduction to investing instead of stocks- Adjiputro said. The company recently surveyed current users- asking about the top five asset classes they invest in. Crypto came in third after mutual funds ja digital gold- ja before stocks at number four.

Indonesian kauppaministeriön julkaisema
- which showed that as of June 2021- there were over 6.5 million crypto investors in Indonesia- or about triple the 2.2 miljoonaa julkisen pääoman sijoittajaa maassa.
Pintu on Lisensoitu salaustekniikan välittäjä Indonesian hyödykefutuurien kaupan sääntelyvirastolla (BAPPEBTI). It has a low minimum investment rate of 11-000 IDR- or about 75 cents USD- making it more attractive to new investors.
Timothius Martin- the company’s chief marketing officer- was a first-time investor when he started using Pintu.Hän kertoi TechCrunchille, että ykkösarvo oli saavutettavuus. “It’s easy to start investing ja also withdraw assets. In Indonesia- we are now at a stage where people have heard about crypto- about Bitcoin- are very interested ja may already want to invest- but there are not many options that are easy enough for them to understja."
Instead of encouraging users to make an investment when they open the app for the first time- Pintu presents them with educational materials. For example- one of its features is Pintu Academy- a collection of articles ja videos. While Pintu’s target demographic is millennials- it’s also attracting older demographics- including people who have traded other assets- like stocks- but want to learn more about the fundamentals of crypto trading.
Adjiputro said Pintu’s focus on education is what differentiates it from other Indonesian crypto platforms like Indodax ja Tokocrypto.
The company is getting ready to launch new features- like Pintu Earn- a crypto asset account that lets users earn interest on a variety of crypto assets- ja e-wallet integration for easier deposits ja withdrawals.
Se päättää myös, mitä kolikoita lisätä seuraavaksi. “We’re very selective in terms of the coins we introduce- because this is a platform for first-time investors ja beginners- so we want to protect them- not only in terms of our UI- but also the selection of coins we have-" Martin said.
Pintu’s criteria for new coins include ones that have a high market cap- meaning adoption is already relatively mainstream. It also looks at how long a coin has been around ja its liquidity.
Pintu plans to focus on expjaing in Indonesia before entering other Southeast Asian markets.
In a statement- Lightspeed partner Hemant Mohapatra said- “Lightspeed has invested in over 17 crypto ja blockchain companies globally including FTX- Blockchain.com- Offchain Labs ja more. We believe crypto is at an inflection point to become an important asset class globally ja will give rise to massive companies that will become regional leaders. Pintu has created the strongest market brja- best user experience ja hjas down one of the strongest teams we’ve ever come across in this market."
