JPMorgan Chase has been a global leader in blockchain for the last six years and has scaled the work into its Onyx by J.P. Morgan business unit, which aims to re-architect the way that money, information and assets are moving around the world using blockchain. One example of Onyx’s offerings is Liink, the first blockchain based information exchange network offered by a global bank to support payments transactions.

“Making a strategic investment in Blockdaemon is a logical next step in our multi-layered approach to investing in blockchain technology and we’re pleased to participate in the funding round as they continue to grow and scale their business,” said Umar Farooq, CEO, Onyx by J.P. Morgan.

The company also announced today that it is acquiring German company Anyblock Analytics, an infrastructure platform, providing API, on-chain analytic tools, monitoring, and node hosting services across various blockchain networks. As part of the acquisition, Anyblock’s team will be joining Blockdaemon, continuing Blockdaemon’s expansion in Europe by establishing a local presence in Germany.

“All of us are thrilled to join forces with Blockdaemon as our services and teams supplement each other nicely. We want to thank everyone that has gotten us to this point! Now we are looking forward to helping accelerate Blockdaemon’s growth even further and extending our relationships in the various ecosystems,” said Anyblock CEO Peter Eulberg.

The acquisition significantly strengthens Blockdaemon’s suite of offerings by expanding its Ubiquity data API capabilities in particular. As Blockdaemon also deepens its infrastructure support for the NFT space, the team and tooling from Anyblock will help support powering transactions behind the NFT ecosystem.

“We are also delighted to acquire Anyblock, which will allow us to integrate its Blockchain Data API solution for bridging access to protocols with our suite of APIs —while further expanding our footprint in Germany and Europe,” said Konstantin Richter.

Galaxy Digital Partners is serving as the exclusive financial advisor, and Cooley LLP and Bird & Bird LLP are acting as legal advisors to Blockdaemon on its acquisition of Anyblock Analytics.
