Net Element said it has finalized a $7.55-million private placement of common stock and warrants with a New York-based family office that has made multiple investments in companies with a blockchain-focused technology platform.

The unnamed firm bought shares of Net Element's restricted common stock and five-year warrants at a price of $11.245 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and 60 percent of a warrant at an exercise price of the stock's consolidated closing bid price of $11.12 last Friday.

The investment is intended to "fuel the ongoing development of the company's blockchain-focused unit, support growth initiatives and allow for potential acquisitions," according to Net Element. 

The blockchain-focused business will be a "decentralized crypto-based ecosystem that will act as a framework for value-added services that can connect merchants and consumers directly utilizing blockchain technology while increasing the speed and efficiency of transactions made through the company's processing, settlement and services ecosystem."
