Kaiko, which was founded in France in ​2014, said it would use ⁠the funds ‌to strengthen its data business ​and expand ​its product offering, which currently ⁠covers more than 150 different exchanges and ​crypto protocols.

While cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin ​have retreated from a peak hit in late 2025, banks, exchange operators and other financial institutions have increasingly expressed interest in "tokenisation" - the idea of creating crypto tokens that represent ‌mainstream financial assets such as stocks and bonds.

Various crypto exchanges have started selling products based ​on ​stocks, including perpetual ⁠futures, prompting regulatory warnings about the risk to investors.

"As digital assets accelerate, S&P Global is investing ​for the future, and this investment underscores that conviction," said Cathy Clay, the CEO of S&P Dow Jones Indices, in a statement.
