Kaiko – Institutional Crypto Data, Indices & Market Surveillance | Quasa.io

#Quasa #QUA #Kaiko

Kaiko is an institutional crypto data firm. It sells market feeds, indices, analytics, and monitoring, not a retail charting app. Founded in 2014, it covers centralized and on-chain markets for banks, exchanges, funds, and regulators. The stack is Data Feeds, Analytics, Monitoring, and Kaiko Data Services, including centralized oracles that push capital-markets prices on-chain. Indices and a BMR-registered calculation agent support derivatives settlement, NAV, and ETF benchmarks. Delivery is API, cloud, and on-site, with 24/7 support. The company cites SOC 2 Type II and EU BMR alignment. S&P Global led a strategic investment that extended the Series B to $110 million.

𝐂𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗛𝗦
• Independent prices, so an exchange is not marking its own derivatives
• Tick-level feeds plus fair-value and risk analytics
• Surveillance and AML/CFT monitoring across markets and chains
• Indices and calculation-agent work for listed products
• On-chain oracle path for tokenized assets and post-trade marks  

𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗙𝗢𝗥
Banks, exchanges, ETF issuers, custodians, and regulators that need auditable crypto prices, not a dashboard for traders.

𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦
• Kaiko 10 and custom benchmarks used in product settlement
• Level 1 and Level 2 data in one normalized API
• Research and market-abuse guides sit next to the data
• Clients cited include large exchanges for index settlement
• Oracle live on institutional chains such as Canton/Zenith  

𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦
• Enterprise pricing is not public; this is a contract sale
• Coverage quality still depends on venue and asset liquidity
• Not a substitute for your own market-abuse judgment
• On-chain oracle is new relative to the off-chain feed business
• A clean index can still lag a thin market
