"Coin Metrics serves as a critical nexus for institutions in the digital asset space and has the potential to scale much further," said Tim Rice, co-founder and CEO of Coin Metrics. "This financing will enable us to accelerate both our business and product roadmap, including through continued investment in new novel risk, DeFi and other Dapp metrics, and in our world-class infrastructure. The quality of our crypto data and intelligence has generated tremendous interest from the growing number of premier financial institutions engaging in cryptoassets, prompting us to expand our customer success and growth efforts globally. We have assembled an experienced team of top crypto, data and financial services experts, and I am proud of the industry-leading work they continue to produce."

Following the completion of the company's $15 million Series B in 2021, Coin Metrics received SOC 2 Type 1 accreditation from Deloitte. Setting itself apart from other crypto data providers, Coin Metrics has emerged as the clear market leader in the institutional space because it offers a comprehensive suite of services – including on-chain data, a universal block explorer, market data and metrics, indexes and network risk management – while maintaining our core values of open, pioneering, elucidating and neutral.

"Our strengthened alignment with Coin Metrics is another example of how we are leveraging leading technology solutions to develop this critical capability. With Coin Metrics, we have the opportunity to advance the capabilities and conversation, and ultimately raise the bar on risk management for digital assets as an industry."

"Coin Metrics provides critical intelligence and superior crypto data insights to facilitate the path towards mainstream adoption of cryptoassets as more financial services firms and traditional investors look to enter this space.
