Digital asset accounting specialist Cryptio has successfully closed a $45 million Series B financing round. BlackFin Capital Partners and Sentinel Global spearheaded the investment, joined by returning backers 1kx, BlueYard Capital, and Ledger Cathay Capital.
The platform provides financial institutions with comprehensive software solutions for monitoring digital assets across multiple channels, including wallets, custody providers, and trading platforms. Its capabilities extend to cryptocurrency lending operations and preparing information for financial statements and accounting compliance.
The funding round reached completion approximately three weeks prior. Company officials did not reveal Cryptio’s current valuation.
Antoine Scalia launched the venture eight years ago following his graduation from a Paris business school. Initially focusing on cryptocurrency startups and emerging businesses, the company has since grown its workforce to approximately 110 employees.
Cryptio’s customer base has expanded beyond 450 organizations. Notable clients include stablecoin provider Circle Internet and the digital asset arm of France’s Société Générale bank.
According to Scalia, preliminary discussions with banking institutions and payment processors have evolved into structured procurement initiatives. “We started to see what we’ve been promised since day one — that the institutions are coming,” he told CoinDesk.
Updated Regulations Remove Banking Obstacles
Recent regulatory modifications have simplified processes for banks seeking to custody and document cryptocurrency holdings. The Securities and Exchange Commission’s SAB 122 guidance superseded SAB 121, streamlining custody requirements for banking entities.
Updated Financial Accounting Standards Board regulations implemented in 2025 mandate fair value reporting for digital assets. These regulatory shifts have effectively removed compliance hurdles that previously deterred institutional participation.
The Trump administration has advanced pro-cryptocurrency policy initiatives across the United States. The government’s cybersecurity framework explicitly commits to “support the security” of digital currencies and distributed ledger technologies.
Cryptio has broadened its service offerings to encompass accounting operations, transaction reconciliation, cryptocurrency lending infrastructure, and tokenization procedures. Scalia noted that industry standards remain under development.
This capital injection follows a $15 million Series A extension that Cryptio finalized in January of the previous year.
Expanding Demand for Digital Asset Financial Infrastructure
The digital asset accounting sector continues attracting substantial investment capital. Fireblocks’ January acquisition of competitor TRES Finance for $130 million demonstrates strong market demand.
Jeremy Kranz, managing partner at Sentinel Global, credited Cryptio’s success to its collaborative approach with major financial institutions and seamless integration capabilities with established accounting frameworks.
The recent funding strengthens Cryptio’s competitive position as traditional banks and corporations accelerate their digital asset adoption strategies.
