The acquisition positions Kaiko as the sole independent, globally regulated provider of comprehensive onchain and offchain market data for institutions.
Blockchain data provider Kaiko has acquired Amberdata, consolidating its position as a key supplier of institutional-grade market data for digital assets. The deal aims to address inconsistencies in tokenized markets by offering reliable pricing data for onchain assets linked to traditional financial instruments.
Kaiko previously partnered with Bloomberg to integrate licensed financial data into blockchain environments, reflecting growing demand from banks, asset managers, and hedge funds. The acquisition enables Kaiko to serve all institutional data needs, including LIT trading prices, listing times, and minute-by-minute market tracking.
Recent data from Kaiko highlighted potential frontrunning of crypto listing announcements on Robinhood, raising concerns about non-public information access among market participants.
