TRM Labs announces a $70M Series C to scale AI and blockchain intelligence solutions supporting law enforcement, national security, and financial institutions worldwide.
TRM Labs, a San Francisco-based blockchain analytics startup, has raised $70 million in a Series C round led by Blockchain Capital, achieving a $1 billion valuation. Goldman Sachs, Bessemer, Brevan Howard, Thoma Bravo and Citi Ventures participated in the funding. Founded in 2018 by Esteban Castaño and Rahul Raina, TRM provides blockchain analytics software to law enforcement agencies and private companies managing cryptocurrency transactions. The startup differentiated itself from competitor Chainalysis by tracking multiple cryptocurrencies and blockchains early on, whilst building a team of former government investigators. TRM now serves both government agencies, including the FBI and IRS, and private sector clients, which comprise 40% of its customer base. The company has maintained 50% annual revenue growth for four years and employs 350 people. The funding will support expansion as tokenisation and AI-enabled fraud increase.
Alfred, a B2B payments infrastructure platform, has closed a $15 million Series A funding round led by F-Prime Capital, with participation from Brevan Howard Digital and WhiteStar Capital. The Mexico City-based startup is valued at $1.45 billion following the raise. The company has developed a unified API that integrates local banking rails, real-time payment systems and stablecoins to facilitate cross-border payments across Latin America. Operating in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina, alfred has processed nearly four million transactions affecting over 2.5 million users. The platform enables international settlements in minutes across currencies including MXN, BRL, COP, ARS and USD. Alfred will use the funding to strengthen its technological, regulatory and operational infrastructure across the region, including strategic corridors like Asia-Latin America.
