Kaiko’s acquisition of Amberdata is the most significant consolidation in the institutional digital asset data industry, creating an independent provider with the regulatory standing, product depth, and global scale that institutions require.
Kaiko, the global leader in digital asset market data, analytics, pricing, indices, and data infrastructure solutions, today announced the acquisition of Amberdata, a prominient digital assets data provider with a strong presence across North America.
Building on its recent acquisition of Cometh, which strengthened Kaiko’s onchain data infrastructure capabilities, this transaction marks Kaiko’s fifth acquisition and further expands its digital asset market data and analytics business. With this deal, Kaiko solidifies its position as the definitive global provider of institutional digital asset data solutions, with a footprint spanning three continents.
The most significant consolidation in the digital assets data industry
Amberdata, founded in 2017, has built one of the most respected institutional data businesses in the industry. Headquartered in the U.S., its client base includes: major hedge funds, asset managers, banks, and exchanges across North America. Its strengths lie in derivatives analytics, onchain data, and AI-powered market intelligence tools.
“Amberdata has built an exceptional product and a client base that reflects years of focused execution in institutional markets. This acquisition enables Kaiko to bring to the market the unprecedented value of the two strongest data companies in the digital assets space. We’re delivering the coverage, solutions, and scale to be the long-term data partner that institutions need as digital assets become a permanent part of global finance,” said Ambre Soubiran, CEO at Kaiko.
The result is clear: no other company matches Kaiko’s regulatory standing, product depth, and global reach. The company operates 24/7 across three continents, with 260+ institutional clients, scalable infrastructure covering 200+ exchanges, 20+ blockchains, and 20,000+ digital assets.

Five acquisitions, a proven strategy to build the ultimate data partner to financial institutions
Kaiko’s growth and this fifth acquisition reflect the fast-growing demand for digital asset data by financial institutions.

All of it runs on data.
Kaiko’s acquisition of Amberdata marks a significant step in the company’s long-term strategy to build the definitive institutional data and analytics platform for digital assets.
