\"MobileCoin, a cryptocurrency that has received technical guidance from Moxie Marlinspike, the creator of private messaging app Signal, has raised \$11.35 million in fresh venture funding across two rounds from Future Ventures and General Catalyst.\
\
The round, shared with us by a source familiar with the company, seems to suggest the cryptocurrency is one step closer to its possible use on the Signal platform, where it does not appear to be available currently.\
\
We were unable to reach Marlinspike today. MobileCoin founder Joshua Goldbard, who lists himself as "janitor" of MobileCoin on LinkedIn, declined to answer questions this afternoon after being reached on Signal. Investors pointed us back to the company when asked about how MobileCoin compares to other crypto-related outfits.\"
