Brussels-based digital asset firm Keyrock has reached a valuation of $1.1 billion following its Series C funding round led by SC Ventures, the investment arm of Standard Chartered, marking its entry into the unicorn club in the crypto-finance space. The round also saw continued participation from existing investor Ripple, with the funding expected to reach up to $100 million as the round remains open. Founded in 2017, Keyrock operates as a digital asset investment and trading firm, offering services including market making, asset management, over-the-counter (OTC) trading, and options trading. The company has positioned itself as a bridge between traditional financial institutions and crypto markets, operating across more than 80 trading venues globally with a team of over 200 professionals. The newly raised capital will be used to strengthen its balance sheet, expand service offerings, and pursue strategic acquisitions, as the firm looks to scale its presence in the evolving digital asset ecosystem. Keyrock’s growth reflects increasing institutional interest in crypto market infrastructure, particularly firms that provide liquidity, trading, and financial services as the digital asset industry matures. The funding also highlights the growing role of traditional financial institutions like Standard Chartered in shaping the future of blockchain-based finance.
