CertiK hits $2B valuation by securing over $600B in crypto assets since 2017
CertiK, a blockchain security firm, has reached a $2 billion valuation by expanding its auditing and verification services. The company’s growth follows years of systematic development in protecting digital assets. Its work now underpins over $600 billion in secured crypto assets since 2017.
The origins of CertiK trace back to a 2016 research breakthrough—a hacker-resistant operating system kernel. That same year, the DAO attack on Ethereum pushed the team to focus on blockchain security. They developed a method combining formal verification with proactive risk assessment.
Today, CertiK’s Skynet Enterprise platform helps regulators monitor and reduce Web3 risks. It also serves 1.8 million users through partnerships with CoinMarketCap and Binance Wallet. Beyond technology, the firm actively influences policy by submitting feedback on stablecoin regulations worldwide. An IPO remains a long-term goal, signalling traditional finance’s growing trust in Web3. While no specific investors are publicly named, prior funding rounds support the $2 billion valuation. Recent collaborations include a $1 million security scholarship with YZi Labs and audits for projects like Apertum, scheduled for December 2025.
CertiK’s rise to unicorn status reflects its dual focus on technical security and regulatory engagement. The firm’s methods have secured hundreds of billions in crypto assets, while its platform supports millions of users. A future IPO could further bridge the gap between blockchain innovation and mainstream financial markets.
