Keyrock

To empower tokenized economies by providing deep liquidity and excellent pricing.

Founded in 2017, Keyrock has grown into a global digital asset investment firm with over 250 team members across 42 nationalities. The company operates as a market maker and liquidity provider across more than 80 trading venues, serving institutions, foundations, and token projects with algorithmic market making, OTC trading, options desks, and high-frequency trading services. Beyond traditional market making, Keyrock runs an accelerator program for Web3 startups and injects liquidity into DeFi, RWA, and NFT protocols. The team is predominantly remote with hubs in London, Brussels, and Singapore, connecting through regular online and offline events to maintain a tight-knit culture despite the global distribution.

Products

Market making forms the core of Keyrock's business, connecting to over 85 exchanges to provide liquidity across centralized and decentralized venues. The company offers OTC trading for large-volume transactions, options desk services, and treasury management for institutional clients. Following the Turing Capital acquisition, Keyrock launched Asset & Wealth Management with quantitative strategies like Absolute Alpha and Smart Beta funds. Additional services include validator operations for blockchain networks, onchain liquidity solutions for DeFi protocols, and ecosystem development support through strategic partnerships and technical guidance.

Keyrock reached unicorn status with a $1.1 billion valuation in its Series C round in March 2026, led by SC Ventures with participation from Ripple. The company previously raised $72 million in Series B funding in November 2022 from Ripple, SIX Fintech Ventures, and Middlegame Ventures. Earlier rounds included Series A funding from SIX, Middlegame, and Volta Ventures in 2021, and seed financing from Volta Ventures in 2018. Total funding has reached approximately $180 million. Keyrock has also pursued strategic acquisitions, purchasing Turing Capital for $27.8 million in 2025 to expand into wealth management and acquiring Fija Finance in early 2026.
