Crypto.com has secured a US$400 million investment from global market maker Citadel Securities.

The transaction values the company at US$20 billion and marks its first institutional funding round in a decade of operations.

Proceeds from the investment are expected to support Crypto.com’s expansion into new asset classes, including tokenised securities and derivatives.

Crypto.com said the funding will help bridge digital and traditional markets while supporting a 24/7 financial ecosystem.

The deal comes as traditional financial institutions increasingly engage with blockchain infrastructure and digital assets to improve capital market efficiency.
