Kaiko Continues on Crypto Data Acquisition Path

Following its recent acquisition of onchain data infrastructure provider Cometh, digital asset market data, analytics, pricing, indices, and data infrastructure solutions provider Kaiko has moved into the market again to acquire rival firm Amberdata.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and Kaiko says it creates “the only regulated and independent data and analytics, indices and data infrastructure for digital assets”.

Combined with Amberdata’s products, Kaiko says it will be able to provide the entire range of digital asset data and onchain infrastructure needed by its customer base. It also claims, “No other company matches Kaiko’s regulatory standing, product depth, and international reach: operating 24/7 across three continents, with scalable infrastructure covering 100+ exchanges, 20+ blockchains, and 12,000+ digital assets.”

This is the fifth acquisition by Kaiko, as the firm seeks to provide banks, asset managers, hedge funds, and trading firms with reliable data to price portfolios, execute across fragmented venues, and manage derivatives risk.

“Amberdata has built an exceptional data & analytics product, and serves a client base that

reflects years of focused execution, and is highly complementary to Kaiko,” says Ambre Soubiran, CEO of Kaiko. “With this acquisition, Kaiko is the only global independent data and analytics, indices, and data infrastructure regulated company for digital assets, as they scale from crypto to all tokenised assets.”

Shawn Douglas, CEO of Amberdata, adds, “Kaiko and Amberdata have become the undisputed leaders in digital asset data, each with our own focus and strengths. Through this acquisition, Kaiko will now deliver the most complete data and analytics solutions to institutions participating in digital assets. By consolidating resources and solution sets, we’ll more efficiently and effectively serve our clients, expanding our leadership position in delivering mission critical data and actionable insights to the industry.”
