The latest investment, an extension to the company's $60 million Series B round in December, was led by Thoma Bravo, with participation from first-time investor Goldman Sachs and previous TRM investors including PayPal Ventures, Amex Ventures, Citi Ventures.

Other big ticket investors in previous rounds include Visa and JPMorgan.

TRM Labs' platform combines cross-chain data with threat intelligence, advanced analytics, and intuitive visualisations to help organisations - including FIs, crypto firms and regulators - detect crypto fraud and financial crime.

Since the initial Series B round in December 2021, the company has acquired the UK-based investigations and training firm CSITech, and launched Chainabuse, a free community-powered scam reporting platform that empowers anyone in the crypto economy to warn others about scams, hacks or other fraudulent activity as they encounter it.

"Demand has never been stronger for solutions that help protect crypto users, impede illicit actors, and support blockchain-based innovation," said Esteban Castaño, co-founder and CEO of TRM. "As the industry continues to mature, TRM is setting the standard for data, products, and training that equip enterprises and governments to combat fraud and financial crime, even as new threats emerge."
