Elliptic Raises Series D to Build AI-First Risk Infrastructure for Digital Asset Finance
Elliptic announced its Series D funding round, signaling a shift in digital asset finance risk management. The company argues that the volume of risk decisions—driven by stablecoin volumes reaching $33 trillion in 2025 and projected $100 trillion by 2030—will surpass human capacity. Elliptic is building an 'AI-first' operating model where systems handle routine cases, reserving human judgment for ambiguous and novel scenarios. Its copilot reduces analyst research time from five minutes to under one minute per alert, saving teams roughly three hours daily. However, the key is not just speed but defensibility: every decision includes reasoning, evidence, and policy citations for regulatory compliance. Elliptic leverages its curated dataset across 65+ blockchains and deep understanding of risk teams (processing most screening volume in the market). The funding will expand presence in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, and focus on making intelligence consumable by both humans and machines, enabling machine-to-machine risk decisions, privacy-preserving on-chain finance, and customer-controlled intelligence flywheels. The company emphasizes that customers own policies while Elliptic powers decisions with transparent primitives.
