MEXC Ventures Invests $200M in Triv to Fuel Southeast Asia Crypto Growth

MEXC Ventures, the investment arm of global crypto exchange MEXC, has announced a $200 million strategic investment in Triv, Indonesia’s leading regulated crypto platform, marking a significant step in its expansion into Southeast Asia’s rapidly growing crypto market [1]. The funding is aimed at accelerating crypto adoption in the region, enhancing liquidity, and expanding trading options. Triv, which was founded in 2015, currently serves over three million users and supports more than 1,000 crypto assets, including major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as U.S. stock market products [2].

The partnership is positioned as a response to the rising demand for digital assets in Indonesia, one of Southeast Asia’s most promising markets for crypto trading. Triv operates under licenses from both the Indonesian Financial Services Authority and the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency, ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards and reinforcing user confidence [2].

According to MEXC Ventures’ Investment Director, Leo Zhao, the investment aligns with the firm’s strategy to target high-potential regions and build long-term value. The collaboration is expected to strengthen MEXC’s presence in Southeast Asia by leveraging Triv’s established market position and expanding its product offerings [1].

Triv’s CEO Gabriel Rey highlighted that the partnership will enable the launch of new products, the expansion of coin listings, and the enhancement of liquidity. Additionally, the company plans to bolster the market position of CryptoWave Media, a media platform under the Triv Group, to become a leading crypto content provider in Indonesia [2].

The investment underscores a broader trend of global crypto firms entering Southeast Asia, where the digital asset market is expanding rapidly. With over 1,700 cryptocurrencies already listed on MEXC’s platform, the firm views this move as a strategic opportunity to reinforce its influence in the region [1]. Analysts have noted that the deal reflects the increasing role of venture capital in supporting crypto-native platforms that are redefining traditional financial systems in emerging markets [2].
