Kaiko, a leading provider of crypto market data, has successfully raised $110 million in an extended Series B funding round, according to TronWeekly. The round was led by S&P Global, with participation from 
Stellar, BNP Paribas, and Nasdaq Ventures.
The investment underscores the increasing demand for robust crypto data infrastructure among traditional financial institutions. Kaiko's technology, now operational on the Stellar network, is expected to play a crucial role in providing institutional-grade pricing for tokenized assets.
This development comes as major banks and financial firms seek to integrate blockchain technology into their operations, indicating a shift towards more sophisticated and reliable data solutions in the crypto space.
The funding round's timing aligns with a period of relative stability in the broader crypto market, with the total market cap hovering around $2.67 trillion. 
Bitcoin has seen a modest 24-hour gain of 0.79%, while Stellar (XLM), which is directly involved in the partnership, is trading at $0.169481, up 0.90% in the last 24 hours.
The involvement of prominent financial institutions like BNP Paribas and Nasdaq Ventures suggests a growing acceptance of crypto as a legitimate asset class. As these institutions invest in the infrastructure, it could pave the way for more widespread adoption and integration of digital assets into traditional finance.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, Stellar (XLM) has moved from $0.1695 to $0.1705 — +0.61%.
The chart plots XLM's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XLM ≈ ₦234.67 (about $0.1705), up 1.0% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
