Keyrock, the Brussels-founded neo-investment group, has reached unicorn status after raising a new Series C round, valuing the company at $1.1 billion. The funding marks a major milestone for the digital asset infrastructure provider as it continues to bridge traditional finance and the tokenized economy.
Institutional backing signals market demand
The round was led by SC Ventures, the investment arm of Standard Chartered, with continued participation from Ripple. The involvement of major institutional players highlights the growing demand for advanced liquidity and market-making infrastructure in regulated digital asset markets.
Strategic expansion and acquisition plans
Keyrock plans to use the capital to strengthen its balance sheet and accelerate innovation. The company also indicated plans to pursue strategic acquisitions to expand its presence across the 85 trading venues where it currently operates.
The funding follows a period of diversification, including the launch of Keyrock Asset & Wealth Management, extending its services beyond market making into broader institutional offerings.
Building infrastructure for the tokenized economy
Institutional investors view Keyrock as a key infrastructure provider in digital markets. As asset tokenization accelerates, firms offering liquidity, execution, and market access are becoming critical components of the financial system.
Keyrock’s core services include:
- Market making
- Asset and wealth management
- OTC and options trading
- Market research and analytics
Scaling as a global digital asset platform
Founded in 2017, Keyrock has grown into a team of over 220 employees across 37 countries. With regulated entities in multiple jurisdictions, the company is positioned to operate across complex global markets.
The ongoing “rolling close” of the funding round suggests additional investment may follow as Keyrock continues its expansion throughout 2026.
