ChainCatcher reported that ANT.FUN announced the acquisition of the centralized wallet and payment product WhalePay on October 28.
WhalePay was previously founded by a well-known team and had received millions of dollars in investment, including from former executives of a major exchange.

Reportedly, WhalePay has successfully issued hundreds of thousands of U cards and has an LTV of over 100 millions of US dollars.
