S&P Global Leads $110M Investment in Crypto Data Firm Kaiko

S&P Global has led a strategic investment that extended crypto data provider Kaiko's Series B funding round to $110 million, drawing participation from major banks, exchanges, and trading firms. The deal, announced on September 14, 2026, signals a deepening commitment from traditional financial institutions to build the data infrastructure required for tokenized markets. The investment round included BNP Paribas, Nasdaq Ventures, Royal Bank of Canada, Coinbase Ventures, DRW, Susquehanna, Broadridge, Stellar, Bpifrance, and the Canton Foundation. Existing investors Anthemis, Point Nine, and Revaia also participated. The new capital extends a Series B that originally raised $53 million in June 2022, led by Eight Roads. Kaiko did not disclose its valuation or the individual contribution amounts from investors. The company provides institutional market data covering more than 150 exchanges and protocols, and is expanding its infrastructure to deliver data directly to smart contracts for onchain capital markets. As part of the investment, the participating institutions have joined a Strategic Industry Working Group chaired by Kaiko.
