Most businesses still find it difficult to send money with stablecoins. Banks, cards, and blockchains do not relate well with each other. However, there’s a company building the pipes that connect them. That company is HIFI.
To guarantee that nothing goes wrong with the connection, HIFI raises $37 million so the pipes can be bigger and, therefore, reach more countries.
HIFI Raises $37M
HIFI announced $37 million in a Series A funding round led by Left Lane Capital. Other backers include Antler, Arcanum Capital, Exitfund, and Side Door Ventures. This is HIFI’s first priced funding round.
The company is two years old and has a team of about 35 people. The latest tranche of $27.3 million closed on September 3, with the rest from earlier closes to reach the $37 million total.

How HIFI’s Platform Works
HIFI offers an API platform. It lets businesses move value across different systems, including stablecoins, bank rails, and card networks. All these work using one integration.
The platform handles stablecoin payments, tokenization of real-world assets, and routing across different networks. It is registered as a money services business and works with existing banking partners instead of trying to replace them.
Since January 2025, it has processed over $227 million in stablecoin payments across 6 million transactions on Polygon alone.
Why Investors Are Betting on HIFI
Cross-border stablecoin flows grew fast. They jumped by 77.5% to $220.3 billion in one year. This happened even as the wider crypto market shrank. The growth is driven by businesses.
Most headlines focus on token prices. This bet is about settlement architecture. HIFI already executed a live on-chain repo trade using tokenized U.S. Treasuries. The trade used atomic delivery-versus-payment on the Canton Network with DRW, Marex, and Tradeweb. Both sides of the trade settled at the same time.
HIFI also joined DTCC’s first production trades of tokenized U.S. securities in July. It was selected alongside BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Nasdaq. That puts it in the middle of how Wall Street is testing tokenized cash, securities, and collateral.

What The New Capital Will Be Used For
HIFI will use the funds to scale its tokenized capital markets infrastructure. It will expand its broader product suite. That includes stablecoin payments and card products.
It also plans to add more regulatory licenses. And it will grow its team in New York and select international markets. In September, HIFI announced a partnership with Visa.
The goal is to expand money movement and card capabilities using its stablecoin settlement platform. It starts with payouts to over 4 billion Visa cards worldwide, all funded by a stablecoin.
Customers are already building on the rails. Sumitomo is a Fortune Global 500 company. It is rebuilding its cash management and trading operations on HIFI’s rails.
Dapper is also building on HIFI. It is using the platform to create new digital marketplaces. Arival Bank uses it to power stablecoin payment experiences.
Today, HIFI’s infrastructure can handle over $7 billion in volume per annum. Its payment capabilities reach across 87 countries.
