Haruko has secured £7.6m in seed funding to expand its digital assets platform for institutional investors. Portage Ventures and White Star Capital co-led the round, which will support the company as it develops tools for connecting traditional capital to decentralized and centralized crypto markets.
The London-based business provides risk metrics, pricing analytics, and portfolio management systems tailored for hedge funds, banks, and fund administrators. The fresh capital follows the commercial rollout of its technology layer for digital asset markets.
From the founder
"We have successfully brought our platform to market, providing the technology layer that brings institutional capital to the digital-assets ecosystem. We are grateful to our team of incredibly hard-working and dedicated engineers and to our strategic partners for their immense support."

CEO at Haruko
Investor perspective
"Many current solutions require a level of trust that institutions can’t afford to give. We believe Haruko has successfully combined financial and technology expertise to engineer institutional-grade services that put crypto trading on par with other asset classes. We conducted extensive research for a portfolio management system alongside several crypto-hedge funds and found Haruko to be the best product for CeFi and DeFi valuations in one fully integrated platform."
