About The TIE
The TIE is a digital asset information platform that provides institutional-grade market data, news, and analytics through its Terminal, data APIs, and custom solutions. Its core strength lies in aggregating fragmented crypto information—including market prices, sentiment, on-chain metrics, and news—into a unified, actionable interface for professional investors. The main pain point it addresses is the lack of reliable, comprehensive data tools in crypto, which often forces institutions to rely on scattered sources or build in-house systems. Over the past six months (March to September 2026), The TIE has expanded its service offerings, including the launch of The Tie Capital, a FINRA-member broker-dealer subsidiary focused on investment banking and M&A advisory for crypto protocols and digital asset firms. This move extends its role from data provider to strategic financial advisor, reflecting the growing maturity of the crypto market. No major negative developments were identified in the available information. Please note that this summary is based solely on the provided materials and may not capture all recent updates.
Founded in 2017 and headquartered in New York, The Tie initially built institutional-grade market intelligence and data APIs, establishing itself as a trusted data infrastructure provider for digital assets.
A key milestone was the acquisition of Stakin, which extended The Tie into non-custodial staking infrastructure across 40+ networks with over $1.5B in assets under delegation, marking its transition from pure data services to full-stack infrastructure.
The subsequent acquisitions of StakingRewards.com and Liquidity.Land further deepened its coverage of staking/yield data and on-chain liquidity sourcing, broadening the platform's institutional footprint.
The most significant strategic leap came in August 2026 with the launch of The Tie Capital, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member. This move formalized its entry into investment banking—offering capital raises, M&A advisory, token generation events, and token-to-equity conversions—directly addressing the institutional advisory gap in crypto and signaling the maturation of digital asset capital markets.
Over the past six months, The Tie has accelerated its build-out of an institutional-grade digital asset platform through several key acquisitions. It acquired Stakin, an institutional staking provider with $1.5B in delegated assets, marking entry into infrastructure. It then acquired Staking Rewards, a leading staking and yield data platform with over one million annual users, followed by Liquidity Land, a solution for DeFi protocols to grow liquidity and TVL. Separately, The Tie launched The Tie Capital, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member, focusing on crypto M&A, private capital raises, token-related advisory, and special situations.
Going forward, The Tie plans to integrate Staking Rewards' staking and yield datasets into The Tie Terminal and Data APIs, while expanding coverage to DeFi yields, tokenized yield products, and emerging on-chain income strategies. It will also bring its own intelligence data into the Staking Rewards platform. Liquidity Land and Staking Rewards are expected to create combined distribution channels for protocols and curated institutional opportunities. Stakin will continue to provide staking infrastructure, increasingly integrated with data, communications, and advisory offerings, toward a unified institutional ecosystem spanning market intelligence, infrastructure, liquidity formation, and investment banking.
