Analytics firm TRM Labs has hit a $1 billion valuation after closing a $70 million Series C funding round led by Blockchain Capital.
The round was supported by a group of old and new strategic investors, including Goldman Sachs, Bessemer Venture Partners, Brevan Howard Digital, Thoma Bravo, Citi Ventures, Galaxy Ventures and DRW Venture Capital. Blockchain Capital led the round again, after leading the pre-seed round in 2018.

The San Francisco-based company provides blockchain analytics software used to track illicit cryptocurrency activity and support compliance and anti-money laundering processes in the public and private sectors.
Its client list includes law enforcement and national security agencies in more than 50 countries, as well as private clients such as Circle, Coinbase, PayPal, Visa, Stripe, Robinhood and Cross River Bank. Ari Redbord, head of global policy at TRM, confirmed the funding round to CryptoNews.
TRM announced that the new capital will support its mission to provide organizations with AI solutions designed to combat ransomware groups, terrorist financing, transnational criminal organizations and fraudulent operators who are increasingly exploiting automation and AI.
“As global economic activity shifts toward blockchain, the need for solutions that can scale an effective response to these threats has never been greater,” TRM said in a statement.
Extending AI to Compliance and Investigations
TRM Labs announced that proceeds from its Series C round will accelerate investments in three key areas: expanding the talent base, developing AI-driven compliance tools, and enhancing AI-driven investigative capabilities.
The company is focused on improving financial crime risk management, including processing alerts more quickly, assessing exposure more effectively, and strengthening connections between on-chain and off-chain criminal activity.
“AI is one of the most important technologies of our generation, and what matters is where it is applied,” said Esteban Castaño, co-founder and CEO of TRM Labs. “At TRM, we develop AI to solve problems that have real consequences for public safety, financial integrity, and national security. »
Matthew McDermott, global head of digital assets at Goldman Sachs, added that TRM provides “the underlying infrastructure that enables institutions to operate distributed ledger technologies securely and efficiently.”
Growing demand for blockchain intelligence
TRM’s valuation reflects broader dynamics in the blockchain analytics sector, as governments and regulated financial firms increase oversight of digital asset markets.
The company’s leadership team includes Ari Redbord, head of global policy at TRM, who previously served as a senior attorney at the U.S. Department of the Treasury and an assistant attorney general in Washington, DC, where he worked on terrorism financing and cryptocurrency investigations.
TRM announced that it is also hiring in applied artificial intelligence, machine learning, engineering, data science, marketing, sales and business development positions as it expands its global presence, with centers in New York, Washington, DC, London, Singapore and Los Angeles.
