This latest funding round was led by early Alibaba backer Eight Roads, with growth equity investment fund Revaia, French venture capital (VC) firm Alven, Berlin-based VC Point9, fintech investment firm Anthemis and VC Underscore all participating.
The Paris-based firm, which already serves institutions such as Deutsche Borse, is now offering data from over 100 centralized and decentralized exchanges, including historic information dating back over 10 years.
The move could help legitimize the cryptocurrency industry by providing much-needed transparency and data to institutions that have so far been hesitant to get involved.
It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to convince institutions to start investing in cryptocurrencies, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.
The funding comes at a time when many firms in the space are struggling to raise money and keep their businesses afloat. For Kaiko, this infusion of capital will help them continue to develop their product and expand their reach. This new round of funding is a positive sign for the future of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
