Enigma, the blockchain startup headed by the media lab from the MIT, announced on its Twitter account that the initial coin offering they held has been successful, they managed to attract $45 million of investment and the offering is now closing.

More than 75 million tokens were sold during the public sale. The ICO attracted over 5,000 different investors. The project team did not intend to overpass the cap it previously set and so, the ICO was closed right after the sum of attracted investment reached $45 million.

Enigma did not forget about the victims of the August hack and announced it intends to return funds to all harmed during that attack. Back then, hackers managed to withdraw funds equaling to $400,000 by infiltrating the website. Rumors about this hack being an inside job did not turn out to be true, it appears.
