Hong Kong, June 1, 2026 - SignalPlus, a digital asset options and derivatives trading infrastructure provider for institutional clients, announced today that it has completed a $50 million Series B1 funding round, bringing its post-money valuation to $5 billion. The round was led by HashKey Capital, with BlockBooster and AppWorks participating as follow-on investors.

This investment demonstrates institutional investors' confidence in SignalPlus as it transitions from a specialized service provider in the digital asset space to a multi-asset trading infrastructure provider for institutional clients.

Empowering Institutional-Grade Options and Derivatives Trading with Cutting-Edge Technology

Founded by a team with capital markets expertise and enterprise technology background, SignalPlus has quickly become the leading options trading platform used by institutional traders in the digital asset space.

The company's flagship trading terminal offers Wall Street-level portfolio and order execution management to professional traders. This system supports connections to major exchanges in the industry, providing risk attribution, portfolio analysis, and full 'what-if' scenario analysis capabilities that surpass most alternative solutions currently available in the market.

Additionally, SignalPlus' risk management and pricing infrastructure also support professional clients and centralized exchanges in running automated risk management and structured product pricing in a 24/7 environment.

SignalPlus has gained the trust of large-scale market makers and centralized exchanges in the industry. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the platform set a record trading volume of $160 billion, with nearly $70 billion in Block-RFQ trades cleared through Deribit alone. Meanwhile, since 2023, with a significant increase in institutional clients, SignalPlus' trading terminal volume has grown at a 74% quarterly compound growth rate. Currently, the SignalPlus platform caters to key options players in the industry, including Cumberland, FalconX, and Galaxy Digital.

Bridging the Technology Gap Between Digital Assets and Traditional Finance

As institutional adoption of digital assets accelerates, SignalPlus has extended its technology suite into the structured commodities product space, bringing a crucial modernization upgrade to a market that has long relied on outdated legacy systems.

The funds raised in this financing round will be used to drive product diversification and global market expansion. Over the past 18 months, SignalPlus has seen its market share grow tenfold, and this financing round will further support this growth trajectory.

Furthermore, SignalPlus will launch a comprehensive platform upgrade, integrating Agentic AI into existing product workflows. Leveraging the company's in-house QuantLab engine, users will be able to analyze volatility market structures, conduct strategy backtesting, and create executable trading modules in the future. This will significantly enhance the workflow experience beyond what traditional brokers currently offer.

SignalPlus Co-founder and CEO Chris Yu stated:

"From its inception, SignalPlus has harbored a clear and ambitious goal: to become a leading infrastructure bridge connecting digital assets to the traditional capital markets. Throughout this journey, we have maintained strict operational discipline. This financing round will propel the company into the next crucial inflection point—continuing to expand our leading edge in the crypto field in the backdrop of a maturing regulatory environment, extending institutional-grade infrastructure to traditional finance, and launching the SignalPlus 2.0 platform, allowing every user to access Agentic AI capabilities in a secure trading environment."

HashKey Capital CEO Deng Chao commented:

"The digital asset market is entering a new stage of institutional maturity. SignalPlus has become a leading infrastructure provider in the crypto options space, with its platform meeting the high standards of global top-tier institutions in operational rigor, risk management, and liquidity. We believe that the next wave of digital financial competition will unfold at the infrastructure layer, and in the options space, SignalPlus has already set the standard. With increasing regulatory clarity in major markets, this collaboration will be a key part of HashKey Group's expansion of product services and consolidation of its leadership position in the institutional digital asset ecosystem. We are pleased to lead this financing round and further deepen our long-term partnership with the SignalPlus team."

BlockBooster Co-founder and CEO Samuel Gu said:

"SignalPlus has provided the underlying infrastructure for institutional participation in the digital asset derivatives market, combining the liquidity, risk management capabilities, and operational rigor required by sophisticated participants. Our relationship with the SignalPlus team was established long before this financing round, and this investment directly aligns with BlockBooster's longstanding core thesis: institutional capital will enter the digital asset market through trusted, enterprise-grade infrastructure. As a full-stack alternative asset management firm that combines an incubation engine with capital management, we believe SignalPlus is at this intersection. As its infrastructure intersects with our capital strategy and broader ecosystem, we look forward to deep collaboration between both parties, and we are honored to provide significant investment to support SignalPlus in its next stage of growth."
