According to Fortune, blockchain forensics startup TRM Labs announced a new follow-on funding round led by existing investors, with the amount undisclosed. Driven by rapid growth in its AI business, the company’s valuation has doubled to $2 billion from $1 billion six months ago. CEO Esteban Castano stated that the company expects to reach the milestone of $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) soon, and will officially launch in November a new AI-powered criminal investigation platform tailored for law enforcement, focusing on AI-driven crimes such as financial fraud, deepfakes, and child sexual exploitation. Castano emphasized that AI is a second growth engine, not a business transformation, with blockchain intelligence remaining the core pillar of the business. The company currently employs approximately 500 people and has offices in London, Singapore, and Washington, D.C.
