About Solidus Labs
Solidus Labs is a crypto-native risk monitoring and market surveillance company. Its core product, HALO, is an AI-powered platform that detects market abuse such as wash trading, spoofing, and insider trading across both on-chain and off-chain data.
The company addresses a key pain point: traditional surveillance tools were built for conventional finance and fail to capture the unique risks of digital assets, such as cross-exchange manipulation and smart contract-based abuse. Solidus provides a unified monitoring layer that works across multiple venues, assets, and blockchains, helping exchanges, brokers, and financial institutions meet regulatory expectations and protect market integrity.
In the past six months (March to September 2026), Solidus has expanded its footprint in both crypto and traditional finance. Notably, it extended its partnership with Kalshi to cover Kinetic Markets, Kalshi's CFTC-registered futures commission merchant, providing surveillance across both exchange and brokerage infrastructure. It also partnered with Webull to power digital asset trade monitoring in the US and Canada. These moves reflect growing institutional demand for robust compliance infrastructure in emerging markets like prediction markets and tokenized securities.
One notable negative event within the last two years: in 2023, Solidus Labs laid off a portion of its staff as part of a restructuring, reflecting broader market headwinds in the crypto sector at the time.
Founded in 2017 by Asaf Meir, a former Goldman Sachs executive, Solidus Labs emerged from the need for crypto-native market integrity solutions.
In 2019, the company secured seed funding led by Hanaco Ventures, enabling early development of its trade surveillance technology.
A significant milestone came in May 2021 with a $20 million Series A round, backed by FTX and former CFTC and SEC officials, validating its approach.
Later that year, in November 2021, Solidus raised an additional $15 million in strategic funding, expanding its capacity to address evolving regulatory demands.
The company launched HALO, its flagship platform, in 2022, combining trade surveillance, transaction monitoring, and threat intelligence into a unified system designed for digital assets.
In May 2022, Solidus completed a $45 million Series B round, co-led by Liberty City Ventures and Evolution Equity Partners, with participation from Declaration Partners and industry veterans like Brian Brooks and Christopher Giancarlo.
Beyond funding, Solidus co-founded the Crypto Market Integrity Coalition in 2022, a cross-industry initiative to promote market integrity standards, and established the DACOM Summit to foster dialogue between regulators and the crypto industry.
These milestones underscore Solidus's evolution from a startup to a leading provider of compliance and surveillance infrastructure, shaping the regulatory landscape for digital assets.
In August 2026, Solidus Labs expanded its partnership with Crypto.com, which will deploy Solidus's HALO platform to monitor trading in its prediction markets and tokenized securities, safeguarding market integrity. This marks Solidus's expansion from pure crypto market surveillance to broader digital asset classes.
Going forward, Solidus will focus on developing real-time surveillance capabilities across asset classes, particularly prediction markets and tokenized assets. CEO Asaf Meir noted that future market structures will be more fragmented, necessitating a new generation of compliance infrastructure. Solidus plans to leverage AI-driven data analytics and cross-chain integration to provide unified market surveillance solutions against evolving manipulation risks.
