KO Inflation Founded by Co Siau, Raises $25M from Bolts Capital to Build Global Web3 Anti-Inflation Ecosystem
Dubai, UAE, December 8th, 2025, Chainwire
KO Inflation (KOI), a Web3 project built around virtual mentor Ms. KOI and the KOI Mobilize platform, today announced a US$25 million committed strategic investment from Bolts Capital, a venture capital investment firm based in the United Kingdom and led by experts in crypto, venture, and public markets. Bolts Capital focuses on established blockchain protocols and innovative projects, with the goal of scaling their impact in the digital economy.
Founded by early Bitcoin and Ethereum participant Co Siau, KO Inflation is creating a consumer focused environment where people learn about inflation and value through content, community programs, and creator led experiences. To date, KOI has onboarded more than 500 influencers across Southeast Asia who help educate users and grow local communities. KOI Mobilize allows users to create and share value, connect with a marketplace, and access blockchain opportunities that emphasize long term value and anti inflation strategies instead of short term speculation.
“Our vision with KO Inflation is to turn complex topics like inflation, value preservation, digital assets, and business building into experiences that people can understand and benefit from, while creating long term value for users, partners, investors, and agency builders,” said Co Siau, Founder of KO Inflation.
The new committed capital will be used to scale KOI Mobilize, launch an on-chain marketplace, and strengthen KOI’s product, engineering, and compliance teams as the project prepares to work with more global partners and exchanges.
A core pillar of KOI’s roadmap is MONOKOILY, a blockchain based life simulation and “Live to Earn” financial education experience inspired by classic economic board games and redesigned for the Web3 era. Integrated with KOI Mobilize missions and campaigns, MONOKOILY uses interactive gameplay to teach concepts like cash flow management, asset allocation, and risk awareness.
Beyond education, MONOKOILY is designed to open more opportunities for people to start their own agency style business inside the KOI ecosystem. Players and community leaders can grow local communities, educate new users, and bring real world projects and assets into the network, creating business opportunities while helping expand unlimited reach for KOI. As more people adopt this model, KOI believes that when financial education becomes enjoyable, when blockchain becomes frictionless, and when digital assets return to real-world utility, the world will enter the next era of a user-driven economy.
KO Inflation has been incubated by Sky Venture Labs, a venture studio and advisory firm which has advised KOI on narrative design, product direction, ecosystem strategy, and go to market execution since the early concept stage.
“We incubated KOI because it represents what we see as the next chapter of Web3: real utility, strong intellectual property, and communities that learn, play, build, and run their own agency style businesses,” said Sky Wee, Co-Founder of Sky Venture Labs.
