About Kaiko
Kaiko is a provider of institutional-grade digital asset market data, offering granular order book, trade, and derivatives feeds spanning 150+ venues, along with reference rates, indices, and analytics. Its core value lies in transforming fragmented raw crypto data into clean, auditable, and regulatory-compliant datasets, certified under SOC 2 and aligned with the EU's BMR framework.
The market pain point Kaiko addresses is the extreme fragmentation and inconsistent quality of crypto pricing data across hundreds of exchanges, which creates significant operational risk for institutional participants. By standardizing data collection, cleaning, and distribution, Kaiko enables funds, exchanges, regulators, and brokers to reliably price assets, monitor markets, and build compliant financial products.
In the past six months (2026-03-12 to 2026-09-12), Kaiko has made notable progress. It partnered with S&P Dow Jones Indices to launch the co-branded S&P Kaiko Digital Asset Indices suite, covering over 4,000 rates and indices. It also acquired Cometh, a French MiCA/CASP-licensed DeFi infrastructure firm, becoming the first oracle provider with both BMR authorization and MiCA licensing. Additionally, Kaiko deployed its Data On-Ramp on the Stellar network, bringing signed institutional-grade pricing data onchain for 16 assets, and was selected as a finalist in the Swift Hackathon 2026 for its work on standardizing tokenized asset transaction roles.
In Kaiko's development history, key milestones with long-term significance include several strategic acquisitions and partnerships.
First, acquiring European crypto index provider Vinter expanded regulated index services and solidified its data position in the institutional market.
Second, acquiring MiCA-compliant DeFi infrastructure provider Cometh integrated on-chain data capabilities and strengthened compliant infrastructure.
Additionally, partnering with S&P Dow Jones Indices to launch the S&P Kaiko Digital Asset Indices enhanced data standardization and credibility.
These initiatives collectively build a complete ecosystem from data collection to index compilation, providing reliable market benchmarks for institutional investors.
Major progress in the past six months:
Partnering with S&P Dow Jones Indices, Kaiko tokenized the iBoxx U.S. Treasuries Index on the Canton Network, marking the first time a major index provider made a financial benchmark available as a native digital asset with embedded data distribution and compliance licensing.
Launched the S&P Kaiko Digital Asset Indices suite, consolidating index offerings with over 4,000 rates and indices, powered by Kaiko's technology platform with S&P handling benchmark administration and global distribution.
Completed acquisitions of Amberdata and Cometh, strengthening on-chain data infrastructure and derivatives analytics, further cementing Kaiko's position as a global institutional digital asset data provider.
Expanded Reference Rates for equities and ETFs to the U.S., South Korea, and Hong Kong, with on-chain distribution via the Data On-Ramp oracle.
Future development focus:
Building an institutional-grade on-chain data layer that brings compliant market data (equities, ETFs, commodities, FX, crypto, etc.) onto DLT networks via oracles to support the scaling of on-chain capital markets.
Continuing to launch more tokenized index products with S&P, reinforcing its role as the data infrastructure bridging traditional finance and DeFi.
Kaiko co-founders: Pascal Gauthier (Founder), Ambre Soubiran (Co-founder & CEO). Core executives: Elodie de Marchi-Chouard (COO), Tongtong Gong (Honorary COO).
In June 2026, Kaiko acquired Amberdata, a landmark consolidation in digital asset data. As part of this move, Tongtong Gong, co-founder and former COO of Amberdata, joined Kaiko as COO Emeritus. She brings over 9 years of experience building Amberdata into a leading provider of market data, derivatives analytics, and on-chain intelligence across 20+ blockchains. Her appointment strengthens Kaiko's leadership as it expands its regulated, independent data and analytics platform.
