Talos Quietly Powers Institutional Crypto Adoption Amid $18 Trillion AUM Onboarding
Behind the flashy headlines of retail-facing crypto platforms, infrastructure providers like Talos are building the institutional plumbing for digital asset adoption. The Andreessen Horowitz-backed firm has quietly onboarded asset managers overseeing a combined $18 trillion in assets over the past year—a staggering figure that underscores accelerating institutional demand.
"These are some of the largest and most reputable asset managers in the world," says Samar Sen, Talos’s APAC head, during an interview at TOKEN2049 in Dubai. The company’s white-label technology stack, embraced by traditional finance giants from BNY Mellon to Wells Fargo, demonstrates how institutional-grade infrastructure is becoming the hidden backbone of crypto markets.
