Background
One Peak led the $120m Series D for Elliptic in May 2026, the largest disclosed round for a crypto-compliance company to date. Elliptic provides blockchain analytics and financial crime compliance tools to banks, crypto exchanges, and regulators; the round will fund transatlantic expansion as regulators in both the UK and US tighten crypto AML requirements. The British Business Bank's British Growth Partnership Fund also participated, alongside other investors.
One Peak is a London- and Geneva-based growth-equity venture firm founded in 2016. It focuses on B2B software and technology businesses at the Series B through growth stage, typically writing cheques of £20m to £100m. Its portfolio spans legal tech, fintech, compliance software, and enterprise SaaS. One Peak's LPs include European family offices and institutional investors. The firm is known for backing revenue-generating software businesses rather than pre-revenue deep-Science plays.
The Elliptic lead represents One Peak's intersection of fintech and compliance — a sector where regulatory tailwinds are durable. As the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation comes into force across the EU and the UK updates its own crypto AML framework, demand for Elliptic's tools is structurally growing. For One Peak, leading at $120m reflects high conviction that the crypto-compliance category will consolidate around a small number of data-and-analytics platforms.
