S&P Global led Kaiko's Series B extension to $110 million. The firms closed the deal on September 14, 2026. This move strengthens their partnership on data infrastructure for tokenized assets.

Tokenized securities are gaining ground fast.

Context

Tokenization of real-world assets needs nonstop market data. Traditional vendors often fell short. Kaiko stepped in with coverage across spot, derivatives, and on-chain venues.

sp-global already supplies index and credit data to banks and asset managers. The new round extends that reach into crypto without building a separate platform from scratch.

Details

The co-branded digital asset index suite launched by S&P DJI and Kaiko in early September 2026 combines benchmark construction with granular trade data. Kaiko's client base of more than 250 financial firms gains access to these indices for portfolio construction and risk models.

The funding round highlights rising demand for tokenization infrastructure. sp-global's capital and distribution network give Kaiko scale to add new venues and asset classes while maintaining regulatory-grade transparency.

Outlook

Kaiko will use the proceeds to expand coverage ahead of expected growth in tokenized securities issuance. Market participants will watch whether the new indices attract assets under management and whether additional traditional data providers follow sp-global into the space.
