Kaiko, a leading crypto data provider, has successfully raised $110 million in an extended Series B funding round, led by S&P Global. This round also saw participation from 
Stellar, BNP Paribas, and Nasdaq Ventures, signaling strong institutional interest in the crypto data space.
The funding will support Kaiko's mission to provide comprehensive crypto market data and infrastructure, with a particular focus on supporting institutional adoption. The company's data technology is now live on the Stellar network, where it will facilitate pricing for tokenized assets.
This development comes as major financial institutions increasingly seek to integrate blockchain technology into their operations. The involvement of traditional finance players like BNP Paribas and Nasdaq Ventures underscores the growing legitimacy and demand for reliable crypto data services.
In the current market context, with the total crypto market cap at $2.67 trillion and 
Bitcoin showing a modest 24-hour gain of 0.79%, this funding round highlights the resilience and potential of the crypto sector. Stellar's native token, XLM, has seen a slight 0.90% increase in the past 24 hours, reflecting a positive sentiment around the network's growing utility.
The integration of Kaiko's technology with Stellar's network is a significant step towards providing institutional-grade infrastructure for tokenized assets. This development may encourage further institutional participation in the crypto space, particularly as traditional financial institutions seek to leverage blockchain technology.
Since this brief published about 16 hours ago, Stellar (XLM) has moved from ₹16.11$0.1695 to ₹16.03$0.1686 — -0.52%.
The chart plots XLM's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XLM ≈ ₹17.45 (about $0.1686), down 0.2% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 8.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
