NEW YORK - Tuesday, 12. May 2026
The institutions building the future of finance are choosing Elliptic as the standard on-chain analytics for digital assets
(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Elliptic, the global leader in digital asset decisioning, today
announced the closing of a $120 million Series D fundraise led by One
Peak, with participation from Nasdaq Ventures, Deutsche Bank and the
British Business Bank. The round values Elliptic at $670 million.
These
investors are among the most consequential institutions in global
finance, together responsible for trillions in daily market activity,
and they have placed their confidence in Elliptic. It is a signal about
where the financial system is heading and who is trusted to underpin it,
with Elliptic screening more of the global on-chain economy than any
other private sector provider.
The fundraise will accelerate
Elliptic's mission to deliver the enterprise-grade on-chain analytics
for the world's largest and most demanding banks, fintechs, government
agencies and crypto and payments companies in the world.
“As
digital assets become more embedded in the global financial system,
institutions need trusted infrastructure to manage compliance and risk
at scale. Elliptic’s platform plays an important role in providing that
infrastructure, helping firms navigate digital asset adoption with
confidence and integrity,” said Gary Offner, Senior Vice President, Head
of Nasdaq Ventures.
“The sustainable growth of digital assets
depends on strong, institutional-grade risk and compliance foundations.
For Deutsche Bank, these frameworks are critical to supporting the
responsible development of the digital asset ecosystem and reinforcing
trust as the market evolves. Our investment in Elliptic reflects our
focus on strengthening these foundations,” said Sabih Behzad, Global
Head of Digital Assets & Currencies Transformation, Deutsche Bank.
Over a decade of proprietary data, built for the AI-native age
Elliptic
was first to bring AI-native compliance to enterprise scale in 2025,
not as a feature, but as a fundamentally different way to run compliance
operations. Today's Series D funding will extend that lead. Elliptic
has a structural advantage because of its data: founded in 2013, the
company has spent over a decade building the deepest, most comprehensive
proprietary dataset in the industry, spanning 65+ blockchains and
refined through continuous collection and labelling of assets and
entities.
Built on that foundation, Elliptic’s data and
intelligence platform processes more contextual information per
transaction than any competitor, enabling automated triage, faster
decisions and significantly lower cost per investigation. The result is a
compliance operation that can do more with less: alerts resolved in
minutes not hours, human judgement reserved for where it genuinely
matters, and the cost of compliance that falls as volume grows. This is
what compliance teams at the world's largest exchanges and financial
institutions are up against. The promise of AI only holds if the data
underneath it does too. Elliptic has spent thirteen years making sure it
does.
Charlotte Lawrence, Managing Director of Direct Equity,
British Business Bank said, “As institutional adoption of digital assets
accelerates, the demand for scalable compliance solutions has never
been higher. Elliptic pioneered the use of blockchain analytics to meet
this challenge and has cemented its status as a global leader, screening
over 1 billion transactions a week for 700+ customers in 30 countries.
This investment also proves the British Growth Partnership is doing
exactly what it was built to do: unlocking the explosive growth of UK
technology scale-ups to deliver long term value for our pension funds.”
Stablecoins and tokenized assets are becoming foundational to global finance
Stablecoins
and tokenized assets are no longer at the periphery of financial
innovation. They are becoming the infrastructure through which value
moves globally. In 2025, stablecoins processed $33 trillion in
transactions1, for the exchanges and crypto-native businesses that
process the majority of this volume, real-time compliance at scale is
not a future requirement, it is an operational necessity today.
Now
we are seeing structural adoption driven by institutions, payments
firms and corporate treasury operations building directly on digital
asset rails. Elliptic provides the intelligence infrastructure to do so
safely, at speed and ahead of regulatory expectations.
"One Peak
invests in category leaders and the signal we trust most is what
customers say. We spoke to leading institutions from across all segments
of the market, and they spoke with one voice: Elliptic is the leader in
digital asset compliance, built on the industry’s most robust
proprietary data, and it’s that data advantage that makes their AI
genuinely market leading. Elliptic is the essential infrastructure for
how stablecoins and tokenized assets move through the global financial
system. That customer verdict is what drove our investment," commented
Humbert de Liedekerke Beaufort, Founding Partner, One Peak.
Real-time compliance for the future of on-chain finance
Two
thirds of global crypto volume is transacted on exchanges that already
rely on Elliptic, a foundation that now serves as the compliance
backbone as those same assets move into traditional finance. Compliance
at enterprise scale is an infrastructure problem for the exchanges
handling billions in daily crypto volume and the financial institutions
moving on chain alike. Elliptic is built to address this at every point
of that journey. By powering Elliptic’s data and intelligence platform
and AI-native compliance solutions with the industry's deepest data
layer, Elliptic enables institutions to monitor continuously and in real
time, catching risk before it crystallises and directs human judgement
only where it is genuinely needed. Elliptic is the compliance layer that
scales without scaling cost, built to grow with the on-chain financial
system itself.
"Financial systems are being rebuilt on-chain,"
said Simone Maini, CEO of Elliptic. "The institutions leading that
transition need an on-chain analytics partner that matches their scale,
their sophistication, and their ambition. The participation of Nasdaq
Ventures, Deutsche Bank, One Peak and the British Business Bank, and the
continued confidence of AlbionVC, Evolution Equity Partners and J.P.
Morgan is a clear signal of their belief in us as market leaders. We
built Elliptic for exactly this moment, and this funding lets us move
faster to meet it."
