We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Presto Research, a research unit of Presto, a leading algorithmic trading and financial services firm with expertise in Asian digital assets markets.


This partnership marks a significant step in our mission to provide comprehensive, data-driven insights into cryptocurrency markets worldwide.

Through this joint effort, Presto Research will leverage Kaiko’s high-quality market data to produce co-branded research reports focused on Asian crypto markets. These reports will offer in-depth analyses of various Asian regions, starting with “The State of the Japanese Crypto Market” and “The State of the Korean Crypto Market.” This research initiative will provide an in-depth, data-driven analysis of Asian crypto markets, meeting the rising demand for region-specific insights.

By combining Presto Research’s regional expertise with Kaiko’s Industry-leading crypto data, we aim to deliver valuable intelligence to market participants, investors, and researchers interested in the Asian crypto ecosystem. This collaboration will enhance visibility for both parties: Kaiko will gain increased exposure in Korea and Japan, while Presto Research will benefit from access to Kaiko’s comprehensive and high-quality global market data for their analyses.
