Kaiko acquires European DeFi infrastructure firm Cometh

Cryptocurrency market analysis firm Kaiko announced today that it has acquired Cometh, a European decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure company. Cometh holds a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) license under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. The acquisition will integrate Cometh's blockchain engineering and compliance capabilities into Kaiko's existing infrastructure. Kaiko COO Elodie de Marchi-Chouard said the move provides the engineering and regulatory foundation to meet institutional demand for on-chain capital market infrastructure, noting that clients are demanding standards on par with traditional financial markets.
