Stablecoin infrastructure company HIFI has raised $37 million in a Series A funding round led by Left Lane Capital, as demand for stablecoin payments and blockchain-based financial markets continues to grow. HIFI plans to use the funding to expand its stablecoin payments products and tokenized capital-markets infrastructure.
The company says it is already processing about $7 billion in annualised volume through its platform. The funding comes as cross-border stablecoin flows rose 77.5% to $220.3 billion in the 12 months to June 2026, even as the broader crypto market contracted.
Money is becoming software. HIFI is the infrastructure it runs on.

The Series A is HIFI’s first priced funding round, according to CEO Zach Walsh, who told Cointelegraph that the company has not disclosed its valuation.
HIFI provides infrastructure that connects stablecoins and blockchain networks with traditional financial systems. Its platform allows customers to move dollars into and out of stablecoins, make payouts through U.S. banking rails and cards, and settle the cash side of tokenized repo and Treasury transactions in U.S. dollars.
The company plans to use the new capital to scale this infrastructure and expand its wider product range. The move comes as more financial institutions explore ways to put payments and traditional financial assets on blockchain networks.
Major financial companies are also moving in this direction. Visa and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), for example, have been developing and testing blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
In July, DTCC conducted production trades involving tokenized securities across several financial-market functions. The tests covered U.S. Treasury and repo settlement, equity transactions, securities lending and collateral workflows.
HIFI was among more than 30 firms involved in those transactions, alongside companies including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and Nasdaq. The transactions used tokenized representations of assets held at the Depository Trust Company.
DTCC plans to launch its Tokenization Service in October, potentially creating another piece of infrastructure for institutions moving traditional securities onto blockchain networks.
HIFI has also been expanding its stablecoin payment capabilities beyond traditional bank transfers. Through an integration with Visa Direct, the company’s platform allows customers to convert USDC and send the proceeds to eligible Visa debit and credit cards globally.
The development comes as Visa reports growing stablecoin activity across its payments network. On September 9, Visa said more than 160 stablecoin-linked card programmes were live globally during its fiscal second quarter. Payment volume through those programmes had increased by nearly 200% year over year.
Visa also said its stablecoin settlement volume had crossed a $20 billion annualised run rate, more than 15 times its level a year earlier.
For HIFI, the latest funding round comes at a time when stablecoins are increasingly being used not only for crypto trading, but also for payments, cross-border transfers and financial-market settlement. The company is positioning its infrastructure to connect these blockchain-based activities with the banking and payments systems that businesses already use.
