Barely two weeks into 2019, Grab’s Series H financing round exceeds its end-2018 US$3 billion target.

The verdict ends an 18-month-long legal battle between Grab and Vietnamese taxi operator Vinasun.

Vinasun’s lawsuit against Grab resumes after the Vietnamese taxi firm turned down Grab’s US$2.78-million investment offer.

The deal further signals that Grab, which has raised nearly $7 billion in funding, will have more business cooperation with its strategic investors.

Overall Grab has raised up to $2.9 billion in its ongoing Series H round, closer to its $3 billion target by end-2018.
