What to know:

  • Cryptio raised $45 million in Series B funding from BlackFin Capital Partners and Sentinel Global, reflecting increased institutional demand for digital asset accounting software.
  • The company valuation was not reported.
  • The funding aligns with accelerating U.S. corporate adoption of crypto and recent regulatory changes that have eased barriers for institutions.

Cryptio, a developer of accounting software for digital assets, raised $45 million in a Series B funding round as financial institutions and corporations expand their use of blockchain-based assets.

The round closed about three weeks ago and was led by BlackFin Capital Partners and Sentinel Global. Existing investors 1kx, BlueYard Capital and Ledger Cathay Capital also participated, the firm said. The company’s valuation wasn’t disclosed.

Cryptio’s platform helps companies track the digital assets they hold and where those assets are stored across wallets, custodians and exchanges. In January last year, the firm raised $15 million in an extension to its Series A funding round from mid-2022.

The software also helps firms manage crypto loans and monitor other blockchain-based assets. It also organizes this data so companies can produce accounting records and financial reports.

Cryptio was founded eight years ago by Antoine Scalia, after he graduated from business school in Paris. Early customers were startups and smaller crypto companies.

Now, the wave of institutional demand for digital asset infrastructure has directly benefited Cryptio, Scalia said in an interview with CoinDesk.

"We started to see what we’ve been promised since day one — that the institutions are coming," he said. Conversations with banks and payment companies that had previously stayed exploratory began turning into formal procurement processes, he added.

That shift is shaping Cryptio’s product development as more banks and financial firms enter digital asset markets. The company has expanded its software platform to support workflows around accounting, reconciliation and emerging activities such as digital asset lending and tokenization.

“The standards are being built and designed right now,” he said.

The firm employs about 110 people and serves more than 450 clients. Those clients include stablecoin issuer Circle Internet (CRCL) and the blockchain subsidiary of French bank Société Générale (GLE).

Cryptio operates in a growing market for crypto accounting tools. In January, crypto infrastructure firm Fireblocks acquired competing platform TRES Finance for $130 million.

Sentinel Global managing partner Jeremy Kranz said Cryptio has gained traction by working closely with large financial institutions and explaining how its system integrates with their existing accounting processes.

The fundraise comes as U.S. corporate adoption of the crypto space has accelerated, with the Trump administration pushing policies meant to strengthen the industry in the U.S. His cyber strategy has vowed to “support the security” of cryptocurrencies and blockchain.

Regulatory and accounting changes have also lowered barriers for institutions. Regulators replaced the SEC’s SAB 121 guidance with SAB 122, easing custody rules for banks, while new Financial Accounting Standards Board rules that took effect in 2025 require companies to report crypto assets at fair value.

UPDATE (March 12, 13:45 UTC): Adds interview with CEO starting in sixth paragraph, industry growth starting in ninth. Rewrites headline to add perspective.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
