Elliptic

Elliptic is one of the world's most established digital asset compliance platforms. Founded in London in 2013, it has spent over a decade building a blockchain analytics engine capable of tracing cryptocurrency flows across thousands of protocols, identifying high-risk addresses, and providing real-time intelligence for compliance decisions. The company serves banks, exchanges, fintechs, asset managers, and government agencies that must meet increasingly stringent requirements around anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and international sanctions in the crypto ecosystem. With institutional adoption of digital assets accelerating — spot ETFs, bank custody, real-world asset tokenisation — demand for reliable compliance infrastructure is growing rapidly. In May 2026, Elliptic closed a $120 million Series D led by One Peak, with participation from Nasdaq Ventures, Deutsche Bank, and British Business Bank. The stated valuation is $670 million. The round arrives at a moment of sectoral maturity: digital asset compliance is establishing itself as an indispensable infrastructure layer for mainstream crypto finance adoption — no longer a nice-to-have for exchanges alone, but a requirement for any financial institution seeking to operate in this space.
