Kaiko acquires Amberdata in blockchain data consolidation push
Kaiko acquired Amberdata to strengthen its institutional crypto data offering as demand grows for broader market, derivatives, and onchain analytics. The deal adds Amberdata’s derivatives analytics and AI research tools, including the GVOL options platform, which Kaiko says was a top client request. The combined company aims to serve banks, asset managers, hedge funds, exchanges, and trading firms with cleaner data across fragmented crypto markets. Kaiko said the acquisition is its fifth and brings its institutional client base to 250 worldwide. Deal terms were not disclosed. Kaiko’s CEO said crypto data providers must meet TradFi-like standards as institutional participation expands, and described the acquisition as completing a long-running strategy to build a globally regulated, independent institutional data platform.
