Kaiko combines its data, analytics, indices and onchain infrastructure with Cometh’s smart contract engineering expertise – becoming the only independent, MiCA regulated provider of end-to-end data infrastructure for digital assets.
Kaiko, the global leader in market data, analytics, indices, and onchain data infrastructure for digital assets, today announced the acquisition of Cometh, a MiCA/CASP-licensed European provider of regulated financial services specialising in decentralised finance infrastructure.
From Market Data to Onchain Execution
As institutional adoption of blockchain-based capital markets moves from proof-of-concept to production at scale, financial institutions operating tokenized products, stablecoin settlement workflows, and derivatives on distributed ledger networks require oracles and execution capabilities that meet the same regulatory standards as in traditional finance. Kaiko’s clients across banks, asset managers, data and index providers, and market infrastructure firms reflect that shift, with demand for oracles built to MiCA, BMR, SOC 1 and SOC 2 standards growing.
The acquisition brings Cometh’s blockchain engineering capabilities and regulatory credentials into Kaiko’s existing stack. Cometh holds a MiCA/CASP license (AMF No. A2025-008, granted December 2025), and ISO 27001:2022 certification. Combined with Kaiko’s BMR authorization, SOC 1 and SOC 2 attestations, and regulated indices offering, this creates an authorization profile that no other data provider currently matches. Oracles sit at the intersection of Kaiko’s data expertise and Cometh’s execution capability; the acquisition reinforces a product already serving institutional clients.
“Institutional clients are moving capital into tokenized markets, and require the same quality and compliance standards they expect from traditional market data. They need seamless, compliant data infrastructure solutions to deploy capital markets applications onchain. With Cometh, Kaiko has the engineering depth and regulatory foundation to meet that demand at scale. No other provider offers this combination of market data, analytics, BMR-authorized indices, and MiCA-licensed products,” said Elodie de Marchi-Chouard, COO at Kaiko.
Production-Grade Data Infrastructure at Institutional Scale
Beyond its regulatory stack, Cometh brings a senior engineering team with deep expertise in onchain execution and scaling across major ecosystems – including Ethereum and its leading Layer-2s, as well as specialized institutional networks like Canton and Stellar. As a pioneer in biometric authentication for blockchain infrastructure, Cometh’s work was funded by the Ethereum Foundation and is now integrated into the Safe ecosystem. The team operates mission-critical systems at scale, ranking among the most active transaction relayers on Gnosis Chain with over 1.3 million transactions executed to date under a non-pooled security architecture. Every client operates through a segregated account with multi-party signing distributed across independent trust domains – the exact posture institutional compliance teams evaluate against.
“Institutions migrating capital markets to distributed ledger infrastructure have one requirement: technology that operates under the same compliance and operational standards as the rest of their stack. That is what we have been building at Cometh, and joining Kaiko puts that work in front of the institutions ready to deploy it,” said Vincent Le Gallic, CTO at Cometh.
This is Kaiko’s fourth acquisition, extending a strategy of building capability ahead of institutional demand. Each move has expanded Kaiko’s global footprint and reinforced its position as the infrastructure layer connecting traditional finance and tokenized capital markets.
