Cointel, a UAE-based AI edtech platform Cointelan for crypto education, intelligence, and real-time trading support, has raised $7.4 million in a strategic funding round led by Avalanche, the high-performance U.S.-based Layer 1 blockchain known for real-world utility; Sugafam Inc., one of Japan’s most trusted Web3 innovation firms; and other prestigious top investors.

As per the press release, the funding solidifies Cointel’s position at the intersection of AI, crypto, and education, building a globally scalable platform that meets the needs of new users, data-driven traders, and everyone in between.

“Cointel isn’t just another tool, it’s the compass for the next generation of digital investors. In Japan, where trust and precision matter, it’s already becoming a daily habit.” noted Sugafam Inc.

Global crypto adoption remains below 7%, with fewer than 3% of people worldwide holding any Bitcoin. Cointel addresses this gap by providing a single subscription platform that combines AI-powered insights, gamified learning, and verified intelligence which is designed to support new users and experienced traders alike.

Avalanche’s investment signals more than technical alignment—it’s a statement of confidence in Cointel’s North American expansion strategy. With regulatory-friendly foundations and product-market fit confirmed in Japan, Cointel is scaling quickly into the U.S. and Canada.

Localised onboarding, region-specific content, and AI-enhanced education tools will launch in Q4 across North America, with KOL activations and brokerage integrations already in development.

Cointel has entered into a strategic collaboration with KuCoin, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges. Full details of their partnership will be shared soon, but at its core, it focuses on enhancing accessibility, promoting education, and driving global expansion in the crypto space.
