PRESS RELEASE. Torum announces strategic investment by Huobi Ventures, the $100 million venture arm of Huobi Group to foster blockchain adoption and ecosystem expansion.
5th August 2021, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — On the eve of the project’s 1st year launch anniversary, social media platform Torum has released its H2 strategic ecosystem expansion plan, prioritizing the construction of a one-stop crypto ecosystem. The plan includes core features that aim to solve the industry’s information asymmetry problems and improve the connection between projects and communities through a social-based ecosystem.
Torum H2 Strategic Ecosystem Expansion Plan
The Torum H2 Strategic Ecosystem Extension plan will include numerous core features, including:
- Torum NFT Launchpad: The INO platform for projects to issue a set of limited-edition NFTs to the community
- Torum NFT Marketplace: The first social-infused NFT marketplace with the ability to market NFTs to the users of Torum.

- Torumgram: A bridge that connects Telegram groups and channels into Torum
- Torum Lounge: An audio-only board to conduct AMA and close-engaging events.
The expansion plan has caught the attention of the Huobi Ventures HECO Fund, which led to the strategic investment of the VC firm on Torum. With Huobi Ventures coming into the fold, Torum will assist in the expansion of the Huobi ecosystem from marketing and community building aspects, particularly in connecting Huobi and HECO-based projects with the Western market.
Yi Feng Go, CEO & Founder of Torum said that:
“Community consensus has always been the largest asset of Torum. However, the vast potential of a social media ecosystem like Torum is yet explored completely at such an early phase. With the support of Huobi Ventures, we are confident that Torum can grow exponentially by bringing onboard HECO-based projects and their communities for the next 6 to 12 months. We are super excited to be working closely with ecosystem partners like Huobi Ventures.”
As part of the strategic investment, Huobi Ventures will provide resource access to exclusive media partners, community building, and project connections for Torum. The resource integration from Huobi will further expand the ecosystem outreach of Torum, which has already accumulated over 64,000 cryptocurrency enthusiasts from over 10 countries, including the U.S, Canada, Latvia, Spain, Germany, France, Poland, Malaysia, etc.
Huobi Ventures and HECO
One of the key focuses of Torum for H2 2021 is to bring onboard quality HECO-based projects to its social media ecosystem.
