Talos’ Series B extension follows a 2022 round that had General Atlantic leading with participation from banks and fintechs, signaling enduring institutional backing and patterns of strategic investor involvement.

The original May 2022 Series B raised $105 million at a post-money valuation of about $1.25 billion, with investors including General Atlantic, Stripe, BNY Mellon, Citi, Wells Fargo, Voyager, Andreessen Horowitz, PayPal Ventures, and Fidelity.

As part of the extension, Talos notes the use of stablecoins for settlement, underscoring a trend toward on-chain settlement in institutional crypto infrastructure.

Robinhood and Sony’s Innovation Fund participate in the extension, underscoring growing corporate backing for Talos’ front-, middle-, and back-office capabilities and for broader crypto infrastructure.

The broader market context shows renewed corporate and investor interest in crypto infrastructure, with notable moves like Stripe’s $500 million blockchain initiative and Mesh’s $75 million Series C for crypto payments infrastructure.

Despite subdued retail activity, the deal reflects persistent institutional demand and confidence in Talos and the crypto ecosystem’s infrastructure needs.

The investment reinforces Talos’ status as a central bridge between traditional finance and crypto, with backers including Robinhood and Sony signaling continued sector confidence.

Talos CEO Anton Katz says the extension is driven by strategic partner interest and will fund expanded product development across trading, portfolio management, execution, treasury, settlement tools, and tokenized traditional assets.

Talos has pursued acquisitions, such as Coin Metrics in a $100 million deal in 2023, highlighting its growth strategy.

Talos, a New York-based digital asset infrastructure provider founded in 2018, has extended its Series B to bring in $45 million more, bringing the total round to about $150 million and valuing the company at roughly $1.5 billion as of late January 2026.

The extended round reflects strong institutional demand for Talos’ unified platform that covers trading, risk management, portfolio construction, treasury, and settlement across exchanges, OTC desks, custodians, and liquidity providers.

The new capital will fund platform upgrades, regulatory compliance efforts toward SEC and MiCA standards, and expansion of institutional trading infrastructure.
