“The rate of institutional adoption of crypto is truly astounding,” said Shawn Douglass, CEO at Amberdata. “We’ve seen our revenue double in the first quarter of this year as the world’s largest financial institutions come to us for the critical data they need for research, trading, risk, analytics, reporting and compliance as they enter digital assets. Amberdata is poised for massive growth and this financing will allow us to accelerate expansion of our worldwide go-to-market activities, scale our industry-leading data infrastructure, and build out our world-class customer success team. It will also allow us to accelerate new product initiatives including expansion of DeFi depth and coverage, development of digital asset indices, and market intelligence and risk analytics applications. It is our intent to extend our leadership and continue to define the category for institutional digital asset data and research applications.”
