SignalPlus Completes Series B1 Funding at a $500 Million Valuation, Accelerating Global Expansion and Derivatives Trading Technology Development

SignalPlus, an institutional-grade digital asset options and derivatives trading infrastructure provider, today announced the completion of a $50 million Series B1 funding round, achieving a post-money valuation of $500 million.

This funding round was led by HashKey Capital, with continued participation from BlockBooster and AppWorks.

This fundraise reflects institutional investors' recognition of SignalPlus's strategic transformation—evolving from a specialized service provider focused on the digital asset space into a multi-asset class trading infrastructure provider for institutional clients.

Goldman Sachs served as the exclusive financial advisor for this transaction.

Empowering Institutional-Grade Options and Derivatives Trading with Industry-Leading Technology

Founded by a team with experience in both capital markets and enterprise-level technology development, SignalPlus has established itself as a leading institutional-grade digital asset options trading platform.

The company's flagship trading terminal provides professional traders with a Wall Street-level position management and order execution system, made accessible to sophisticated market participants in a more user-friendly manner.

By leveraging a multi-venue trading network connecting major exchanges in the industry, the platform offers market-leading risk attribution analysis, position analysis, and comprehensive "What-if Analysis" capabilities, with functionalities surpassing most existing market solutions.

Concurrently, the complete risk management and pricing infrastructure built by SignalPlus enables professional clients and centralized exchanges (CEX) to achieve 24/7 automated risk management and structured product pricing.

Widely adopted by top market makers and exchanges in the industry, SignalPlus set a record platform trading volume of $160 billion in Q4 2025, with nearly $70 billion in Block-RFQ trades cleared solely through Deribit.

Since 2023, SignalPlus terminal trading volume has maintained a quarterly compound growth rate (Quarterly CAGR) of 74%, primarily driven by the large-scale onboarding of institutional clients. The platform now services the most influential options trading institutions in the industry, including Cumberland, FalconX, and Galaxy Digital.

Bridging the Technological Gap Between Digital Assets and Traditional Finance

As institutional adoption of digital assets continues to accelerate, SignalPlus has expanded its technology product line into the realm of Structured Commodity Products, bringing crucial modernization to a market long reliant on traditional legacy systems. Proceeds from this funding round will primarily be used to drive product diversification, accelerate global market expansion, and continuously enhance trading infrastructure capabilities. Over the past 18 months, SignalPlus has achieved a 10x increase in market share.

Furthermore, SignalPlus is about to launch a comprehensive platform upgrade, deeply integrating Agentic AI into existing product workflows. Leveraging SignalPlus's proprietary QuantLab engine, users will be able to analyze volatility market structures, conduct strategy backtesting, and build directly executable trading modules. This will represent a significant leap in efficiency compared to the existing workflows of traditional brokerages.

Chris Yu, Co-founder and CEO of SignalPlus, stated: "Since its inception, SignalPlus set an ambitious goal—to become the leading infrastructure bridge connecting digital assets and traditional capital markets. Throughout our journey, regardless of market cycles, we have steadfastly adhered to strict operational discipline. This funding round will propel the company into its next critical development phase: further solidifying our leading position in the crypto market amidst an increasingly mature regulatory environment, extending institutional-grade infrastructure capabilities into traditional finance, and launching the SignalPlus 2.0 platform, bringing Agentic AI capabilities into a secure and open trading environment accessible to all users."

Deng Chao, CEO of HashKey Capital, commented: "The digital asset market is entering a new phase of institutional development, and SignalPlus has grown into a leading infrastructure provider in the crypto options space. The platform it has built meets the highest standards required by top-tier global institutional clients in terms of operational compliance, risk management, and liquidity support. We believe the next phase of digital finance competition will unfold at the infrastructure layer; in the options market, SignalPlus is already defining the industry standard. As major markets' regulatory frameworks gradually become clearer, this partnership will be a key component for the HashKey Group to expand its product matrix and consolidate its leadership in the institutional-grade digital asset ecosystem. We are delighted to lead this funding round and further deepen our long-term partnership with the SignalPlus team."

Samuel Gu, Founder and CEO of BlockBooster, stated: "SignalPlus provides the foundational infrastructure for institutional participation in the digital asset derivatives market. Its capabilities in liquidity, risk management, and operational systems meet the needs of professional institutional investors. Our relationship with the SignalPlus team dates back well before this funding round, and this investment directly validates a core thesis that BlockBooster has long held: future institutional capital entering the digital asset market must necessarily be built upon trustworthy, enterprise-grade infrastructure. As a full-stack alternative asset management institution with both incubation and capital management capabilities, we believe SignalPlus is at the core nexus of this trend. Looking ahead, as its infrastructure capabilities further integrate with our capital strategies and ecosystem resources, both sides will engage in deeper collaboration. We are honored to support this vision as a significant investor as the team enters its next growth cycle."
