Kaiko, founded in France in 2014, stated it will use the funds to strengthen its data business and expand its product offerings. The firm currently aggregates data from more than 150 different cryptocurrency exchanges and protocols.

A Sign of Market Maturation

This investment arrives even as cryptocurrency prices have pulled back from their late 2025 peaks. However, it signals that established financial firms are focused on the long-term potential of the underlying technology, particularly in the area of "tokenization"—the process of creating digital tokens to represent traditional assets like stocks and bonds.

“As digital assets accelerate, S&P Global is investing for the future, and this investment underscores that conviction,” said Cathy Clay, CEO of S&P Dow Jones Indices, in a statement. The move reflects a broader trend of financial institutions seeking reliable, high-quality data to navigate the complexities and opportunities within digital asset markets.
