- Traditional financial institutions are converting exploratory discussions into active procurement processes

Cryptio has successfully secured $45 million through a 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 tools for monitoring digital assets spanning multiple wallets, custody providers, and trading platforms. Cryptio’s solution encompasses crypto lending operations and structures data for accounting compliance and financial disclosure requirements.
The funding round reached completion approximately three weeks prior. The company chose to keep its post-money valuation private.
Antoine Scalia established the company eight years ago following his graduation from a Paris business school. Cryptio initially focused on serving emerging crypto ventures and smaller enterprises. The organization currently maintains a workforce of approximately 110 employees.
The customer base has expanded to exceed 450 organizations. Major clients include stablecoin provider Circle Internet and the digital asset arm of French banking institution Société Générale.
Scalia noted that preliminary discussions with banking institutions and payment processors have evolved into structured purchasing workflows. “We started to see what we’ve been promised since day one — that the institutions are coming,” he told CoinDesk.
Regulatory Shifts Enable Bank Participation
Updated regulations have simplified the path for banking institutions to custody and disclose cryptocurrency holdings. The SEC’s transition from SAB 121 guidance to SAB 122 has streamlined custody requirements for traditional banks.
Revised Financial Accounting Standards Board regulations implemented in 2025 mandate fair value reporting for cryptocurrency holdings. These modifications have directly eliminated obstacles that previously prevented institutional participation.
The Trump administration has advanced policy initiatives favoring domestic cryptocurrency development. The government’s cybersecurity framework specifically commits to “support the security” of digital currencies and distributed ledger systems.
Cryptio has broadened its service portfolio to encompass accounting operations, reconciliation processes, digital asset lending functions, and tokenization infrastructure. Scalia emphasized that industry standards remain in active development.
This capital raise follows a $15 million Series A extension the company completed in January of the previous year.
Expanding Opportunities in Crypto Accounting Infrastructure
The digital asset accounting technology sector continues attracting substantial investment activity. Fireblocks completed its $130 million purchase of rival platform TRES Finance during January.
Jeremy Kranz, managing partner at Sentinel Global, highlighted Cryptio’s success in building relationships with major financial institutions and demonstrating seamless integration with established accounting frameworks.
The fresh capital strengthens Cryptio’s competitive position as traditional banks and corporate entities accelerate their digital asset implementation strategies.
