The San Francisco-based company offers blockchain intelligence software utilized to trace illicit cryptocurrency activities and assist compliance operations in both public and private sectors.

Its clientele includes law enforcement and national security agencies in over 50 countries, along with private-sector partners such as Circle, Coinbase, PayPal, Visa, Stripe, Robinhood, and Cross River Bank. Ari Redbord, TRM’s global head of policy, confirmed the funding round to CryptoNews.

TRM stated that the new funds will aid its mission to provide institutions with AI solutions aimed at addressing ransomware groups, terrorist financing networks, transnational criminal organizations, and scam operators who are increasingly utilizing automation and artificial intelligence.

“As a growing share of global economic activity transitions on-chain, the demand for solutions that can effectively respond to these threats has never been more critical,” TRM noted in a statement.

AI Expansion Across Compliance and Investigations

TRM Labs indicated that the proceeds from the Series C will expedite investment in three primary areas: expanding its talent pool, enhancing AI compliance tools, and bolstering AI-driven investigative capabilities.

The firm is concentrating on improving financial crime risk management, which includes quicker alert processing, more effective exposure assessments, and stronger connections between on-chain and off-chain criminal activities.

“AI is one of the most significant technologies of our time, and its application is crucial,” stated Esteban Castaño, co-founder and CEO of TRM Labs. “At TRM, we’re developing AI for issues that have tangible implications for public safety, financial integrity, and national security.”

Mathew McDermott, global head of digital assets at Goldman Sachs, remarked that TRM provides “foundational infrastructure that allows institutions to operate distributed ledger technologies securely and efficiently.”

Growing Demand for Blockchain Intelligence

TRM’s valuation mirrors the increasing momentum in the blockchain analytics industry, as governments and regulated financial institutions enhance oversight of digital asset markets.

The firm’s leadership includes Ari Redbord, TRM’s global head of policy, who previously held the position of senior advisor at the U.S. Treasury and served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C., focusing on terrorism finance and cryptocurrency-related investigations.

TRM also mentioned that it is hiring across applied AI, machine learning, engineering, data science, and go-to-market roles as it broadens its global presence, with offices in New York, Washington D.C., London, Singapore, and Los Angeles.
