S&P Global Leads $110M Strategic Investment in Crypto Data Firm Kaiko
SPGI sits 16% above its 52-week low of $360.945.
Summary
S&P Global led a strategic investment in Kaiko, a provider of institutional-grade data for 24/7 onchain finance, extending Kaiko's Series B to $110M. The round includes BNP Paribas, Nasdaq Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, and others, signaling broad institutional backing for tokenized market infrastructure. This follows S&P Global's recent acquisitions of DatacenterHawk and Agusto & Company, reinforcing its push into digital and emerging market data. The investment positions S&P Global to capitalize on the shift toward 24-hour trading, as evidenced by CME's strong demand for 24/7 gold futures. While the deal size is modest relative to S&P Global's market cap, it is strategically significant for its data and index business.
