Kaiko’s $110M funding round, led by S&P Global and backed by major financial firms, signals growing institutional demand for always-on digital asset market data and the infrastructure needed to support asset tokenization. For CIOs and technology leaders, this points to a shift toward 24/7 data operations, stronger integration between traditional finance and crypto-native systems, and new requirements for governance, reliability, and compliance in market data platforms. IT organizations should expect increasing pressure to evaluate vendors and architectures that can deliver real-time, continuous data services at institutional scale.
