Keyrock, a digital asset firm based in Belgium, has secured Series C funding led by SC Ventures. This investment values the company at USD 1.1 billion.

The funds raised will be used to bolster Keyrock’s financial position, expand its service offerings, and consider further acquisitions.

SC Ventures’ participation indicates increasing institutional interest in comprehensive digital asset infrastructure providers. Ripple, a provider of blockchain-based solutions for traditional and digital finance, has also supported Keyrock in this funding round.

A representative from SC Ventures emphasized that the investment underscores confidence in liquidity infrastructure as essential to the development of digital asset markets, with full-service providers expected to play pivotal roles as tokenized assets gain scale.

Services and Strategic Direction

Currently, Keyrock offers a variety of services aimed at digital asset markets, including market making, asset management, over-the-counter trading, and options trading. The company positions itself as a connection between traditional financial institutions and the tokenized economy. In 2025, Keyrock introduced Keyrock Asset & Wealth Management, which broadened its service scope to include client-facing financial services.

Keyrock plans to prioritize expanding its customer base, extending its geographic reach, and increasing market share across various service lines in 2026. The acquisition focus mentioned suggests a strategy of consolidating within the digital asset space, though specific targets have not been disclosed.

Industry Context

This funding round aligns with a broader trend of institutional investment flowing into digital asset infrastructure businesses that serve as intermediaries between traditional financial systems and blockchain-based markets. Standard Chartered’s involvement through SC Ventures highlights the bank’s ongoing commitment to the sector.
