Since its start in 2020, the company has raised $80 million for wallet development.
On May 31, San Francisco-based wallet-as-a-service company Magic announced that it had successfully raised $52 million in a strategic funding round led by PayPal Ventures. Venture capital companies Cherubic, Synchrony, KX, Northzone, and Volt Capital also participated in the funding round. This brought the total amount of money Magic has raised to over $80 million.
Magic’s software is used by Mattel, Macy’s, Xsolla, and Immutable, among other names in retail, music, fashion, and gaming. With the money, Magic wants more people to use it by giving them real digital ownership options. It also wants to add more features, improve use cases, and integrate it more deeply in the European Union and Asia-Pacific area.
By using Magic’s software development kit (SDK), vendors can let users create wallets using their current email, social, SMS, or federated logins. The software gives users an all-in-one package for signing up, which includes authentication, cash on-ramps, minting nonfungible tokens (NFTs), and checking out with NFTs.
We're thrilled to announce our latest funding of $52M backed by @PayPal @cherubicvc @synchrony @northzoneVC @VoltCapital @KX. Magic is solving web3 onboarding and our mission is to give a wallet to every internet user.
