\nCrypto.com Secures $400M Investment From Citadel Securities at $20B Valuation<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Global market maker Citadel Securities has invested $400 million in crypto exchange Crypto.com, giving the platform a $20 billion valuation, according to a Thursday announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crypto.com, which has a number of digital asset products, said the cash would help the Singapore-based company expand its services to assets such as blockchain-based securities and derivatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cash will help bridge the gap \u201cbetween digital asset and traditional markets to create a more efficient 24\/7 financial ecosystem,\u201d a Thursday announcement<\/a> read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe size of the opportunity in front of us is staggering, as crypto increasingly becomes the rails for finance,\u201d Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving built the right regulatory and tech infrastructure over the last decade, Crypto.com is now perfectly positioned to capture this new wave of growth across all asset classes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe convergence of traditional financial markets and digital asset infrastructure is an exciting evolution with the potential to further improve market efficiency,\u201d added Jim Esposito, President of Citadel Securities.<\/p>\n

Wall Street\u2019s interest in tokenization<\/h2>\n

Esposito\u2019s comment comes as Wall Street interest in blockchain technology piques \u2014 despite a market slump.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back in February, BlackRock, the world\u2019s biggest asset manager, announced<\/a> that it was working with decentralised exchange Uniswap to bring one of its funds on-chain.<\/p>\n

Before that, in January, the New York Stock Exchange said<\/a> it was building a platform allowing traders to buy and sell tokenised versions of US-listed equities and exchange-traded funds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And most recently, the S&P 500 gave crypto platform Trade[XYZ] the green light to debut a new derivative contract on decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, allowing traders to gain leveraged exposure to the top index.<\/p>\n

Citadel\u2019s crypto interest\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Miami, Florida-based Citadel, has for some time been interested in digital assets: Back in 2023, the company helped debut EDX Markets, a \u201cfirst-of-its-kind exchange\u201d giving investors \u201csafer, faster and more efficient cryptocurrency trading.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exchange this year applied<\/a> for a national trust bank charter with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, marking a step toward deeper integration between digital asset firms and the US banking system.<\/p>\n

Citadel last year also pumped $200 million into crypto exchange Kraken to help accelerate the company\u2019s strategy of bringing traditional financial products on-chain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
