The main aim of Unblock Ventures, according to LINE, is to “boost the development and adoption of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.” It also aims to meet this by investing in blockchain start-ups.
Further, the company also reveals that TRON’s native token, TRX, has been added to BITBOX. This is the first coin venture that gets the thumbs up in its review by the open-listing committee of BITBOX.

$10 Million not the Quintessential Element of Unblock

That’s because LINE has plans for expansion of the fund together with the development of the blockchain industry. If everything goes as per plan, Unblock Ventures should assist to enhance the growth and acceptance of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology all through the world.

“By launching this new corporate token fund, LINE is aiming to boost the development and adoption of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. As such, LINE is one of the first public company to formalize token investments through a corporate fund.”
