Talos secured fresh backing in an extended Series B round that lifted its valuation to $1.5 billion.

The extension highlighted sustained demand for platforms that support large trading operations.

The firm offered a platform that linked multiple liquidity venues and streamlined trade execution for professional users. The latest capital allowed the company to scale its technology and improve service depth.

Robinhood Expands Its Crypto Scope Through Talos

Robinhood advanced its digital asset plans by joining the new Talos funding round. The company expanded into blockchain infrastructure while reinforcing its ambition to support advanced trading tools. Moreover, the partnership strengthened Robinhood’s reach across global crypto markets.

Robinhood continued to build products that connected trading, settlement and on-chain activity across multiple regions. The firm introduced new crypto services in Europe and added tokenized stock trading for broader market access. In addition, Robinhood reported rising activity across its crypto business as it expanded product coverage.

Robinhood integrated Talos technology to support deeper liquidity and more efficient execution for its user base. The company benefited from stronger infrastructure as it explored areas such as staking and perpetual futures. Furthermore, the collaboration positioned Robinhood to compete more effectively in complex digital asset markets.

Talos Strengthens Capabilities With Data and M&A Growth

Talos broadened its platform through several acquisitions that expanded its data and risk capabilities. The company recently bought Coin Metrics for over $100 million to strengthen analytics and market intelligence.  The deal enhanced its ability to support institutions with high-grade data tools.

Talos also acquired Cloudwall, Skolem and D3X Systems to expand risk management, DeFi connectivity and portfolio solutions. These additions enabled the company to build a full suite for trade execution and post-trade operations. Furthermore, the expanded stack positioned Talos as a core infrastructure provider for banks and asset managers.

Talos supported hundreds of clients in more than 35 countries as adoption increased across traditional finance. The firm recorded strong growth as asset managers sought consolidated tools to run digital asset portfolios at scale. In addition, Talos prepared to support traditional assets as they shift toward tokenized markets.
