SignalPlus Secures 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 financing round, achieving a post-investment valuation of $500 million.

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

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

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

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

Founded by a team with combined experience in capital markets and enterprise-level technology R&D, SignalPlus has become a leading institutional-grade digital asset options trading platform.

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

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

Meanwhile, the comprehensive 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.

Backed by widespread adoption from top-tier market makers and exchanges, SignalPlus set a platform trading volume record of $160 billion in Q4 2025, with Block-RFQ trades cleared through Deribit alone approaching $70 billion.

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 serves the industry's most influential options trading institutions, including Cumberland, FalconX, Galaxy Digital, and others.

Bridging the Technology Gap Between Digital Assets and Traditional Finance

As institutional adoption of digital assets continues to accelerate, SignalPlus has expanded its technology product line to include Structured Commodity Products, bringing critical modernization to a market long reliant on 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's market share has achieved 10x growth.

Additionally, SignalPlus is set to launch a comprehensive platform upgrade that deeply integrates 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 executable trading modules. This represents a significant leap in efficiency compared to the existing workflows of traditional brokerage firms.

Chris Yu, Co-founder and CEO of SignalPlus, stated: "From its inception, SignalPlus set an ambitious goal—to become the leading infrastructure bridge connecting digital assets with traditional capital markets. Throughout our journey, regardless of market cycles, we have adhered to strict operational discipline. This funding will propel the company into its next critical development phase: further consolidating 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 accessible trading environment for 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. It has built a platform that meets the highest standards of operational rigor, risk management, and liquidity support demanded by the world's top institutional clients. We believe the next phase of competition in digital finance will center on the infrastructure layer; in the options market, SignalPlus is already defining this industry standard. As major markets' regulatory frameworks gradually become clear, this collaboration will be a key component of HashKey Group's strategy to expand its product matrix and solidify its leadership in the institutional-grade digital asset ecosystem. We are delighted to lead this financing round and further deepen our long-term partnership with the SignalPlus team."

Samuel Gu, Founder and CEO of BlockBooster, stated: "SignalPlus provides the underlying 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 predates this financing round, and this investment directly validates a core thesis BlockBooster has long held: future institutional capital entering the digital asset market will necessarily be built upon trusted, enterprise-grade infrastructure. As a full-stack alternative asset management institution with both incubation capabilities and capital management, we believe SignalPlus is at the core intersection of this trend. Looking ahead, as its infrastructure capabilities further integrate with our capital strategies and ecosystem resources, we will engage in deeper collaboration. As the team enters its next phase of growth, we are honored to support this vision as a key investor."
