The Tie, a digital asset market intelligence firm founded in 2017, has launched The Tie Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary registered as a broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of FINRA. The new division will provide investment banking and capital markets advisory services specifically tailored to crypto protocols, onchain businesses, and digital asset service providers.
The Tie Capital will advise clients on private capital raises, mergers and acquisitions on both the buy and sell sides, protocol restructurings, token generation events, token-to-equity conversions, and other special situations. The offering builds on nearly a decade of work at the intersection of traditional finance and cryptocurrency, leveraging The Tie’s proprietary market intelligence, fundraising and M&A datasets, institutional relationships, and deep understanding of tokenized networks and on-chain ecosystems.
The Tie has steadily expanded its platform since its founding, adding market intelligence tools through The Tie Terminal and data APIs, conferences, corporate access programs, communications solutions, and validator infrastructure through Stakin. More recent acquisitions include StakingRewards.com, which broadened data coverage across the staking and digital asset yield space, and Liquidity.Land, which assists protocols in growing liquidity and total value locked. These businesses will continue to operate alongside The Tie Capital as part of the broader platform, while the new advisory unit works closely with clients on transaction preparation, structuring, financial analysis, and execution support.
The Tie has appointed Boomer Saraga as Managing Director of The Tie Capital. Saraga brings experience spanning traditional investment banking and digital assets, having worked at Truist Securities and P2 Corporate Finance, and founded Khelp Financial, a crypto-focused registered investment adviser. His background covers onchain fundamentals, capitalization structures, and institutional transaction execution for emerging protocols and growth companies.
The launch addresses a gap identified by The Tie’s leadership: many founders and management teams in the digital asset space have sought more hands-on advisory support for structuring financings, navigating mergers and acquisitions, and managing broader strategic initiatives. Crypto protocols often operate with nascent capitalization structures and require technical understanding of blockchain infrastructure that traditional bulge-bracket banks have been slow to develop.
By institutionalizing transaction processes commonly used on Wall Street, The Tie Capital aims to provide digital asset companies with strategic advisory services comparable to those available to established corporations. The move reflects the broader maturation of the digital asset industry and the increasing demand for specialized financial infrastructure as institutional participation continues to grow.
