Talos, an institutional digital asset trading technology provider, has raised a $45 million Series B extension, bringing in new investors including Robinhood Markets.
Other investors include Sony Innovation Fund, IMC, QCP, and Karatage, as demand grows for institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure.
The latest round increases Talos’s total Series B fundraising to $150 million and values the company at approximately $1.5 billion on a post-money basis.
Strategic Investors Join Talos Series B Extension
Talos said the extension was driven by interest from partners and clients seeking closer alignment with the firm’s role in building core trading and portfolio infrastructure for digital assets.
“We extended our Series B round to accommodate interest from strategic partners who recognize Talos’s role in providing core institutional infrastructure for digital assets,” said Anton Katz, CEO and co-founder of Talos.
Katz added that as traditional asset classes increasingly migrate to digital rails, investors are looking to support platforms that can underpin the next generation of financial markets.
What Talos Provides for Institutions
Talos positions itself as a full-stack institutional digital asset technology provider, offering infrastructure, data, and tools that support the complete trading and portfolio management lifecycle.
The platform delivers front-, middle-, and back-office functionality, allowing institutions to execute trades, manage liquidity, monitor risk, and support settlement and treasury operations across crypto markets.
Sony Ventures CEO Kazuhito Hadano said Talos has evolved beyond order execution into a comprehensive institutional solution supported by robust analytics and data services.
Robinhood’s Johann Kerbrat, senior vice president and general manager of crypto, said Talos’s flexibility allows Robinhood to deepen liquidity and deliver advanced features for its crypto customers.
Stablecoin Settlement and Product Expansion Plans
Talos said a portion of the investment was settled using stablecoins, reflecting the growing use of blockchain-based payment rails in institutional transactions.
The company plans to use proceeds to expand product development across its platform, including portfolio construction, risk management, execution, treasury, and settlement tools.
Talos also intends to broaden support for traditional asset classes as they increasingly become tokenized or migrate onto digital infrastructure.
Momentum and Recent Acquisitions
The fundraising follows what Talos described as strong momentum, with the company roughly doubling revenues and its client base each year over the past two years.
Talos recently launched its request-for-quote (RFQ) platform with BlackRock traders on the Aladdin platform, signaling deeper integration between digital asset markets and traditional finance workflows.
The company has also completed acquisitions of several digital asset firms, including Coin Metrics, Cloudwall, Skolem, and D3X Systems, expanding its capabilities across data services, risk management, DeFi infrastructure, and portfolio engineering.
Investor commentary pointed out Talos’s positioning as institutional adoption accelerates. IMC’s Jae Park said Talos’s focus on performance, safety, and reliability makes it a preferred gateway for institutions entering digital asset markets.
QCP founder Darius Sit added that digital assets are increasingly becoming the rails for broader capital markets, with Talos building the infrastructure to support that transition.
