Digital Asset Infrastructure Firm Talos Raises $45M, Valuation Hits $1.5 Billion

Talos, a provider of institutional digital asset trading infrastructure, raised $45 million in a Series B extension that brings its total Series B funding to $150 million and values the company at approximately $1.5 billion.

The round includes new strategic investors Robinhood Markets, Sony Innovation Fund, trading firms IMC and QCP, and crypto fund Karatage, alongside returning investors Andreessen Horowitz's crypto fund, BNY and Fidelity Investments, the company announced Thursday in a statement.

The platform supports the full trading and portfolio management lifecycle for institutional clients, providing technology that integrates with existing financial market infrastructure while enabling access to digital asset markets. As major banks and asset managers build crypto capabilities, infrastructure providers like Talos have become critical intermediaries connecting traditional finance to blockchain-based systems.

Most of the new investors are existing clients and partners of Talos, which provides trading, portfolio management and data infrastructure for institutional digital asset operations. A portion of the investment was settled using stablecoins, reflecting growing adoption of blockchain-based payment rails in institutional transactions.

"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. "At a time when traditional asset classes are increasingly migrating to digital rails, these partners wanted to be more closely aligned with our growth."

The fundraise follows strong momentum for the New York-based company, which has roughly doubled revenues and client count annually for the past two years. Talos recently launched a request-for-quote platform integrated with BlackRock's Aladdin trading platform and completed four acquisitions: Coin Metrics, Cloudwall, Skolem and D3X Systems, expanding capabilities across data, risk management, decentralized finance infrastructure and portfolio engineering.

Talos said it plans to use the proceeds to expand product development across portfolio construction, risk management, execution, treasury and settlement tools. The company is particularly focused on supporting traditional asset classes as they migrate to digital formats.

XRP’s Biggest Drawback Uncovered by Top Analyst, It Is Not Price

The post XRP’s Biggest Drawback Uncovered by Top Analyst, It Is Not Price appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP, within the week, dipped below the psychological $3 level again and shed 6.21% in the last seven days. This long, drawn-out consolidation has raised concerns among XRP investors. Versan Aljarrah, the founder of Black Swan Capitalist, has shared new insights into the seeming stagnation in the price of the asset. XRP price suppression strategy Aljarrah claims that the low price of XRP is not a weakness in the momentum of the asset. Rather, it is due to major institutions intentionally suppressing it for their own interest. According to him, these powerful traditional institutions are looking to stockpile XRP at this low price, hence the deliberate suppression. We agree, #XRP isn’t stuck, it’s being stalled, the strategic value alone confirms it, If the dollar is overextended and liquidity is strained as a result, XRP is the alternative source and bridge that provides liquidity for institutions, Thats how it becomes the solution. https://t.co/ZadNEIUhhk — Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) September 19, 2025 Aljarrah appears aligned with the views of Jim Willie, who alleged that big banks, including BlackRock, the asset manager, are actively accumulating the asset to have leverage when the price soars to over $7-$8, where it ought to be at this point. Both views imply that there is a deliberate conspiracy going on that involves the manipulation of XRP’s price. Aljarrah and Willie maintain that this is deliberate so that these powerful financial institutions can buy it cheaply before it gains adoption in the traditional finance space. “If the U.S. dollar is overextended and liquidity is strained as a result, XRP is the alternative source and bridge that provides liquidity for institutions,” Aljarrah wrote. The Black Swan Capitalist founder believes XRP could serve as a “bridge currency” that supplies liquidity for global transactions when the U.S. fiat currency faces stress. XRP…
