Kaiko has broadened its crypto data ecosystem by acquiring Amberdata, a U.S.-based provider known for digital asset market and derivatives analytics. This acquisition enhances Kaiko’s service portfolio, catering to institutional investors such as banks, hedge funds, and trading platforms that require comprehensive, clean data in increasingly fragmented crypto markets.
The deal adds Amberdata’s advanced derivatives analytics and artificial intelligence research tools, including the GVOL options analytics platform, identified as a key demand from Kaiko’s institutional clients. Although the financial terms remain undisclosed, the acquisition marks Kaiko’s fifth strategic purchase, strengthening its position as a leading consolidator of institutional-grade crypto market, derivatives, and onchain data.
Previously, Kaiko acquired Cometh, an onchain data infrastructure provider licensed under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), reinforcing its compliance and regulatory standing. The combined Kaiko-Amberdata platform now serves approximately 250 institutional customers worldwide, expanding its reach significantly.
Kaiko’s CEO emphasized the growing need for regulated, trustworthy crypto data to meet standards aligned with traditional finance. The company believes that as banks, asset managers, and hedge funds increase their involvement in digital assets, the demand for reliable, integrated datasets will continue to accelerate. Amberdata’s addition reportedly completes a long-term strategic roadmap aimed at meeting every institutional data requirement across the global crypto ecosystem.
Beyond data analytics, Kaiko recently partnered with Bloomberg to integrate licensed financial data directly into blockchain-native environments. This collaboration addresses widespread challenges related to inconsistent offchain and onchain data, especially for tokenized real-world assets where accurate pricing synchronization is critical.
