Surf, a San Francisco-based AI research platform for digital assets, raised $15 million in a funding round led by Pantera Capital, with Coinbase Ventures and Digital Currency Group also participating. The funds will support the development of Surf 2.0, the company’s next-generation AI model, and the expansion of its enterprise product for institutional users.
The platform differentiates itself from general-purpose AI models by training proprietary systems specifically for crypto markets, integrating on-chain data, social sentiment, and token activity. Surf 2.0 will include advanced models, multi-agent workflows, expanded datasets, and tools to automate tasks traditionally performed by human analysts. Enterprise clients will also benefit from dedicated infrastructure and enhanced security features designed for institutional requirements.
Since its July launch, Surf has generated over 1 million research reports and achieved 50% month-over-month growth. The platform is reportedly used by 80% of top exchanges and crypto research firms, reflecting its increasing adoption among professional market participants.
