About Amber Group
Amber Group is a digital asset financial services firm offering wealth management, asset management, liquidity provision, and infrastructure solutions for both institutional and individual investors. Its core strength lies in bridging traditional finance with digital assets, providing institutional-grade trading execution, secure custody, and tailored investment strategies.
The company addresses key market pain points such as fragmented liquidity, complex regulatory compliance, and the lack of trusted entry points for traditional capital. By delivering regulated, transparent, and scalable services, it helps clients navigate the digital asset ecosystem with confidence.
In the past six months (February to August 2026), Amber Group hosted its first webinar of the year, "A New Era for Digital Assets: 2026 Macro Outlook & Institutional Strategy," highlighting shifts in market dynamics and the growing role of ETFs and institutional capital. The firm also announced a significant presence at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, with over 12 speaking engagements and two main-stage appearances. Additionally, CEO Michael Wu discussed how permissionless crypto infrastructure could serve as the native rail for AI agent economies, emphasizing the convergence of AI and digital assets.
Amber Group was founded in 2017, headquartered in Hong Kong, with offices in Taipei, Seoul, and Vancouver. In 2019, the company completed a $28 million Series A round led by prominent blockchain investors including Pantera Capital, Paradigm, Polychain, Coinbase, and Dragonfly Capital. In 2021, Amber Group closed a $100 million+ Series B round, achieving a valuation exceeding $1 billion and officially becoming a fintech unicorn. This round saw participation from Tiger Brokers, Tiger Global Management, Arena Holdings, Tru Arrow Partners, A&T Capital, Sky9 Capital, DCM Ventures, and Gobi Partners, with existing investors Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and Blockchain.com also increasing their stakes. The valuation grew 10x in less than two years, marking one of the fastest-growing crypto finance companies globally. In 2026, Amber Group led the seed round for Stockcoin.ai, an AI-native trading platform, expanding into AI-driven financial services. Throughout its journey, Amber Group has evolved from a crypto quantitative trading firm into a comprehensive digital asset financial services provider, obtaining MSB licenses in the US and Canada, and establishing partnerships with custody and security firms like BitGo to strengthen its institutional-grade service infrastructure.
Over the past six months, Amber Group has accelerated its transition into an agent-native organization. In late March 2026, Amber International launched A-MM (Agentic Market Making), the first flagship component of its A-Suite. A-MM is an agent-native liquidity operations and designated market-making infrastructure for token projects, unifying execution workflows, operations, and transparency into a modular layer. The soft launch generated strong early interest, with meaningful revenue expected from Q2 2026 onward.
Concurrently, the company introduced its Crypto-for-AI (C4AI) vision, positioning crypto as the financial and settlement infrastructure for the emerging agent economy. Amber plans to host its inaugural C4AI Investor Day in October 2026 to provide a broader update on the A-Suite roadmap and agent capabilities.
Financially, Q1 2026 platform client assets stood at approximately US$1.0 billion, with average assets per active client around US$1.2 million. Revenue from the Amber Premium business is estimated between US$9.0 million and US$10.0 million.
Additionally, Amber Group joined Forgd's market-maker monitoring platform, enabling standardized, verifiable historical execution data to enhance transparency, shifting competition toward durability and discipline.
Looking ahead, Amber's core focus is building the full-stack operating system for the agent economy, moving beyond the interface layer to autonomously coordinate user intent, liquidity, execution, and compliance.
