TRM Labs, a RegTech company focused on using artificial intelligence to disrupt criminal networks and counter national security threats, has announced the close of a $70m Series C funding round.
The round was led by Blockchain Capital, which previously backed the company at pre-seed stage in 2018, alongside returning investors CMT Digital, Goldman Sachs, Bessemer Venture Partners, DRW Venture Capital, Y Combinator, Thoma Bravo, Alumni Ventures, Citi Ventures and Brevan Howard Digital, with participation from new strategic investor Galaxy Ventures.
Founded to help public- and private-sector institutions address the growing risks associated with blockchain-based activity, TRM Labs provides an intelligence platform designed to identify, track and disrupt illicit behaviour across digital asset ecosystems. Its tools are used by law enforcement agencies and national security bodies in more than 50 countries, as well as by private-sector firms including Circle, Coinbase, Cross River Bank, PayPal, Robinhood, Stripe and Visa.
As economic activity increasingly shifts on-chain, the company positions its technology as a foundational layer of defence against threats such as ransomware groups, terrorist financing, transnational organised crime and large-scale scams. These actors are making growing use of automation, programmatic money laundering and AI-driven social engineering techniques, raising the stakes for institutions operating in high-consequence environments.
The fresh capital will be used to deepen investment across three core areas, including expanding its global workforce of AI researchers, data scientists, engineers and financial crime specialists. TRM also plans to advance AI-enabled compliance tools aimed at improving efficiency in areas such as alert handling and risk exposure assessment, alongside enhanced investigative capabilities that strengthen links between on-chain and off-chain intelligence.
The funding follows a period of rapid expansion, with the company reporting average annual revenue growth of more than 150% over the past five years, reflecting heightened regulatory and enforcement scrutiny of digital asset markets.
TRM Labs CEO Esteban Castaño said, “AI is one of the most important technologies of our generation, and where it’s applied matters. At TRM, we’re building AI for problems that have real consequences for public safety, financial integrity, and national security. This funding allows our world-class team — and the people who will join us next — to innovate alongside institutions on the front lines of the most consequential threats, and expand the potential of AI to meaningfully improve how our critical systems are protected.”
