Hotchain is a global culture, sports, and entertainment digital asset trading platform based on blockchain technology
About HOTchain
HOTchain operated as a specialized financial technology entity headquartered in China, having commenced its activities in 2017. The firm positioned itself within the cryptocurrency and FinTech sectors, targeting the global sports and entertainment industry with a distinct focus on Chinese culture.
The company's core business was a digital asset trading platform built on what was described as GCSEDATP blockchain technology. This platform facilitated several novel transaction types. It enabled users to trade digital assets and, more uniquely, the personal time of celebrities, creating a new type of marketplace for fan engagement and interaction. The infrastructure also supported the tracing of intellectual property copyrights and the launching of crowdfunding campaigns directly on its blockchain.
From a financial perspective, HOTchain secured venture capital backing. The company successfully raised a total of $23.2 million. A significant milestone in its funding history was an early-stage VC round completed on January 26, 2018, with investors including Tisiwi and Candowin. Despite this initial traction and funding, the company ceased operations, with its status changing to 'Out of Business' around May 2020.
