Per the press release, an undisclosed portion of the Series B investment was settled using stablecoins. This follows a growing adoption trend with several firms in the digital assets space opting to receive at least partial funding directly onchain.
Cryptocurrency payments firm Mesh, for example, announced the successful closing of its Series C funding round on Jan. 27, with some of its funding also settled via stablecoin. While the exact amount wasn’t disclosed, the shift signals rising trust levels in the use of blockchain rails for funding.
Expanding Core Infrastructure for Digital Assets
Talos initially earmarked the Series B funds to expand its institutional-grade digital asset platform and pursue further expansion into Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
However, the firm has experienced significant growth in the time between the May 2022 funding round and its 2026 extension. After obtaining unicorn status in 2022 with a $1.25 billion valuation, the company reported $27.2 million in revenue in 2023 and $45.5 million in revenue in June 2025, marking an increase of nearly $18 million in just two years.
The successful funding rounds and numerous strategic partnerships have since positioned Talos Trading as a full-service digital assets infrastructure provider focused on developing institutional-grade technology, essentially functioning as an end-to-end operating system supporting the full digital asset investment lifecycle, including liquidity sourcing, price discovery, trading, settlement and portfolio management.
