Digital asset data provider Kaiko has expanded its Series B funding to $110 million through an investment led by S&P Global. According to the Monday announcement, several major financial institutions joined the round to support Kaiko’s expansion into tokenized market infrastructure.

Participants include BNP Paribas, Bpifrance, Broadridge, Canton Foundation, Coinbase Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, and Nasdaq Ventures. Royal Bank of Canada, Stellar, and Susquehanna Private Equity Investments also participated in the strategic financing round.

Moreover, existing shareholders Anthemis, Point Nine, and Revaia provided additional capital during the Series B extension. Founded in 2014, Kaiko provides institutional market data covering cryptocurrency exchanges, blockchain networks, digital asset derivatives, and decentralized platforms.

Its services include historical datasets, real-time feeds, pricing benchmarks, indices, liquidity measurements, and market-quality analytics. Additionally, the company provides onchain data infrastructure for banks, exchanges, asset managers, and other financial institutions.

Kaiko currently covers more than 150 exchanges and protocols, supporting trading, valuation, risk management, and blockchain-based applications. The investment highlights growing institutional demand for reliable data across markets operating without conventional trading hours. Digital asset markets operate around the clock, requiring consistent pricing, valuation, and risk information throughout every trading period.

Funding Strengthens Kaiko’s Infrastructure for Tokenized Capital Markets

Kaiko plans to use the capital to strengthen its data operations and expand infrastructure supporting blockchain-based financial products. Tokenization now extends beyond cryptocurrencies into Treasury bills, money market funds, equities, bonds, and other traditional financial instruments.

Consequently, financial institutions need reliable systems connecting blockchain activity with established valuation, compliance, and reporting processes. Kaiko converts onchain financial activity into standardized offchain data while delivering proprietary market information directly to smart contracts.

It also provides confidential valuation and analytical services that help institutions assess tokenized products while protecting sensitive commercial information. Chief Executive Ambre Soubiran described the investors as strategic partners representing pricing, trading, capital allocation, and blockchain development.

Their involvement supports Kaiko’s broader goal of becoming a central data infrastructure provider for onchain capital markets. Participating investors will also join a Strategic Industry Working Group chaired by Kaiko. The group will help develop data standards and infrastructure required for institutions to introduce tokenized products into operational markets.

Acquisitions Expand Kaiko’s Technical and Regulatory Capabilities

Kaiko has expanded its capabilities through acquisitions of Amberdata and Cometh, a regulated decentralized finance infrastructure provider. Amberdata strengthened Kaiko’s United States presence, while Cometh added technical expertise and regulatory permissions within Europe.

Besides these acquisitions, Kaiko launched digital asset indices with S&P and maintained a data collaboration with Bloomberg. Kaiko also holds SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 attestations covering controls behind its institutional services.

Its indices division operates as an authorized benchmark administrator under European Union regulations. The financing gives Kaiko additional resources for serving institutional activity across digital assets, tokenized securities, and blockchain-based financial markets.
