Robinhood Backs Talos at $1.5B Valuation in $45M Series B Extension

Published at 2026-01-29 14:00:19

Robinhood has backed crypto trading infrastructure firm Talos in a funding round that sets the company’s valuation at $1.5 billion. The deal includes a $45 million Series B extension that brings in strategic investors Sony Innovation Fund, IMC, QCP, and Karatage alongside existing backers. The move reinforces Talos’s position as a provider of institutional-grade trading, custody, and settlement technology.

The investment matters because it signals sustained institutional appetite for crypto infrastructure and gives Talos fresh capital to scale product development and market reach. For Robinhood, the stake could deepen ties to backend trading technology and support expansion into more institutional offerings. New strategic partners also offer distribution and market expertise that could accelerate Talos’s growth amid rising competition among crypto infrastructure providers.
