This brings the total raised to over $11 million. The funds will enable Agio Ratings to expand its research and engineering teams, broadening the scope of its risk ratings and supporting major banks as they enter the digital asset market. Founded in 2022, Agio Ratings quantifies the risk of exchanges, custodians, and lenders, helping trading firms, insurance companies, and banks make informed decisions and optimise their risk-adjusted returns. The company uses quantitative methodologies to capture a firm’s default risk as market conditions shift and to identify risk signals that the market underweighs or neglects. Agio Ratings' models identified FTX’s high probability of default four months before the exchange’s bankruptcy and correctly assessed that Bybit had sufficient resilience to survive its $1.5 billion security breach. In early 2025, Agio Ratings partnered with Relm Insurance to power their crypto exchange default product and are now in discussions with the largest banks in the US and Europe to support their entry into crypto trading, lending, and stablecoin orchestration. Ana De Sousa, CEO of Agio Ratings, expressed excitement over the backing from leading investors who understand the massive opportunity in managing crypto risk. Kibriya Rahman, Investor at AlbionVC, highlighted the urgent need for independent, institutional-grade risk management as the digital asset market continues to mature. Agio Ratings aims to become the global category leader in the space, meeting the demand from banks, funds, and insurance companies.

4. https://ventureburn.com/agio-ratings-raises-6m-to-build-moodys-of-crypto/ - Agio Ratings, a London-based startup building institutional-grade risk models for digital assets, has raised $6 million in a funding round led by AlbionVC. The round, which included participation from Portage Ventures and MS&AD, brings the company’s total funding to over $11 million. The new capital will help Agio expand its research and engineering teams and extend the scope of its crypto risk ratings. The firm plans to support major banks and financial institutions as they explore trading, lending, and stablecoin operations in the digital asset market. Founded in 2022, Agio Ratings was created to address the data vacuum in crypto risk management. The company provides quantitative ratings on exchanges, custodians, and lenders, helping trading firms, insurers, and banks make informed decisions and manage exposure in a volatile market. Unlike traditional credit rating agencies, Agio uses real-time quantitative models that adapt as market conditions shift. These models identify early warning signals often overlooked by investors and regulators. Agio’s approach has already proven effective. Its models flagged FTX’s high default probability four months before the exchange collapsed in 2022. It also accurately assessed that Bybit had enough reserves to survive its $1.5 billion security breach, while others predicted failure. Agio Ratings has become a trusted partner for some of the industry’s top players, including Wintermute, Ledn, and Relm Insurance. Early in 2025, Agio partnered with Relm Insurance to power its crypto exchange default insurance product, helping underwriters price digital asset risk with greater accuracy. The company is now in discussions with major banks in the U.S. and Europe to support their entry into crypto trading and lending. According to De Sousa, traditional financial institutions are increasingly aware that entering crypto without a proper risk framework could expose them to serious default and operational risks. As the crypto market matures, the need for credible, independent risk ratings is undeniable. De Sousa added, "We aim to give institutions the same level of confidence they have in traditional markets."
