The data problem every crypto institution faces

As crypto businesses scale, their data stack fragments. Exchanges, banks, asset managers, payment providers, brokers, custodians, and fintech platforms all rely on multiple internal systems to run their operations - from trading engines and custody infrastructure to treasury tools, payment rails, and proprietary databases.

At the same time, crypto accounting and reporting demands complete, accurate, and normalized data across all of these sources.

Just as importantly, this data must be handled in a controlled, auditable environment. Cryptio’s data platform is SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliant, with controls audited by PwC, giving institutions confidence that their most sensitive financial data is managed to enterprise-grade standards.

That’s where most teams struggle. In practice, the problem isn’t that data doesn’t exist. It’s that data doesn’t line up.

When critical data lives outside standard blockchain data or third-party connectors, finance and operations teams are forced into manual workarounds - CSV uploads, brittle scripts, and one-off transformations that don’t scale. Internal trade IDs don’t match exchange references. Payment records don’t align with on-chain transactions. Wallet and account identifiers differ across systems.

Reconciliation breaks become harder to investigate, data gaps harder to explain, and confidence in reporting starts to break down.

Ultimately, this introduces real risk in financial reporting, audits, and regulatory compliance.

Why standard connectors aren’t enough

Most crypto accounting tools rely heavily on third-party explorers and prebuilt connectors to blockchains, exchanges, custodians, and DeFi protocols. These are essential, but they only solve part of the problem.

For many institutions, the most critical data is generated internally, stored in proprietary systems, and tailored to highly specific business logic. This includes internal trade allocations, off-chain settlement instructions, payment processor records, and issuance activity managed outside of public blockchains.

Even when this data can be imported, teams often hit the same blocker: the data cannot be meaningfully reconciled. Fields, schemas, and identifiers don’t align with on-chain or exchange data, which means balances still don’t tie out and exceptions still require manual investigation.

Without a way to normalize data across systems, ingestion alone doesn’t solve the problem.

Introducing Cryptio Data Bridge: One unified data engine for crypto back‑office reporting

Data Bridge is Cryptio’s flexible ingestion and normalization layer that allows institutions to bring any internal or custom data into Cryptio and translate it into a standard, reconcilable format.

With Data Bridge, Cryptio becomes the single aggregation and normalization layer for all crypto back-office data, regardless of source.

Whether data comes from a custom database, an internal ledger, a proprietary trading or payments system, or a source Cryptio doesn’t yet have a native connector for, Data Bridge allows teams to define how that data maps to Cryptio’s standardized data model. Once mapped, internal fields, identifiers, and references are consistently aligned with on-chain and exchange data.

This means data from different systems doesn’t just coexist - it means the same thing, so it can be reconciled, explained, and audited.

All of this happens within a controlled and auditable environment. Cryptio’s data platform is SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliant, with controls audited by PwC, giving institutions confidence that their most sensitive financial data is handled to enterprise-grade standards.

Built for real institutional workflows

Data Bridge is designed specifically for institutional and enterprise use cases, where data complexity is the norm.

For exchanges, brokers, and banks

• Normalize internal trade records and allocations against exchange activity
• Align omnibus activity with internal client or house logic
• Reconcile internal books deterministically against on-chain and exchange data
• Ensure balances and P&L tie out across systems

For asset managers and funds

• Map internal PMS or OMS data to standardized portfolio and transaction models
• Normalize off-chain NAV, fees, and adjustments across custodians and wallets
• Maintain consistent identifiers across strategies and entities
• Produce audit-ready records without manual intervention

For payment providers and fintechs

• Normalize transaction-level payment data with on-chain settlement flows
• Align internal payment references with blockchain transaction hashes
• Track treasury movements across fiat and crypto rails using consistent identifiers
• Maintain clean separation between operational and client funds

Normalization that works once and keeps working

At the core of Data Bridge is normalization.

Incoming data is translated into Cryptio’s standardized data model, allowing it to interact seamlessly with on-chain and exchange data. Once mappings are defined, data remains consistently normalized going forward, removing the need for repeated manual fixes or ad hoc reconciliation logic.

This enables deterministic reconciliation, accurate cost basis and P&L calculations, inventory and wallet-level reporting, and robust audit trails and compliance outputs.

Once data is ingested via Data Bridge, it behaves like native blockchain or exchange data – fully integrated and explainable.

The foundation for accurate crypto financial reporting

Accurate crypto reporting does not start at the balance sheet. It starts with complete data.

On the on-chain side, Cryptio relies on its proprietary data indexers. Cryptio runs its own nodes and builds blockchain-specific indexers to extract complete and accurate data directly from the chain, ensuring full transaction coverage, traceability, and auditability across supported blockchains.

When this high-fidelity on-chain data is combined with powerful ingestion of internal and off-chain data through Data Bridge, Cryptio provides the essential data engine institutions need for reliable crypto financial reporting.

Cryptio ensures that all relevant activity - on‑chain, off‑chain, internal, and proprietary - is captured in one system, under one consistent accounting framework.

For institutions operating in increasingly regulated and audited environments, this isn’t optional. It’s foundational.

One platform. Any data.

With Data Bridge, Cryptio becomes the universal data backbone for crypto back‑office operations - capable of aggregating, normalizing, and reconciling any data required for institutional‑grade financial reporting.

If your crypto data lives outside standard connectors, Data Bridge ensures it no longer lives outside your accounting system.
