HIFI Raises $37M Series A for Stablecoin and Tokenized-Market Infrastructure

HIFI has raised $37 million in Series A financing to expand the infrastructure connecting stablecoin payments, bank rails, cards and tokenized financial assets.

Left Lane Capital led the round. HIFI did not disclose a valuation.

HIFI's Series A at a glance

• Round: Series A
• Amount: $37 million
• Lead investor: Left Lane Capital
• Valuation: Undisclosed
• Headquarters: New York
• Use of proceeds: Tokenized capital-markets infrastructure, stablecoin payments and card products

HIFI presents a single API for moving and settling value across stablecoins, conventional bank rails and payment networks. The company says its platform now processes more than $7 billion in annualized volume, supports payouts across 87 countries, and serves more than 10,000 businesses and 200,000 end users.

Those operating figures are company-reported and are not independently audited in the financing announcement.

From stablecoin payments to capital markets

The round is notable because HIFI is extending beyond cross-border payments. The company participated in July production trades involving DTC-tokenized assets alongside institutions including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and Nasdaq.

It has also announced a Visa partnership intended to support stablecoin-funded payouts to eligible Visa cards. HIFI says the first phase can reach more than four billion cards worldwide; availability will still depend on participating programs, markets and compliance requirements.

The common technical problem is settlement. A stablecoin payment, a tokenized security and a card-funded receivable use different products, but all require identity checks, compliance, routing, liquidity and final movement of value.

HIFI's investment thesis is that financial companies will prefer one programmable layer instead of building separate integrations for every network and jurisdiction.

Competition is moving quickly

The stablecoin-infrastructure market includes specialist payment platforms, custody providers, banks and card networks. Bridge, BVNK and Fireblocks approach parts of the same stack from different starting points, while incumbent processors are adding their own stablecoin capabilities.

That makes distribution and regulatory execution at least as important as software. HIFI must maintain banking relationships, licensing coverage and compliance controls while supporting more assets and countries.

The company's differentiation claim is breadth: payments, card products and tokenized capital markets on one settlement layer. The Series A will test whether that architecture can scale without turning into a complicated collection of market-specific integrations.

Why the timing matters

Institutional stablecoin use is moving from pilots toward production systems, while tokenized securities remain early but increasingly connected to established market infrastructure.

Competitor coverage emphasized the broader “stablecoin surge.” The stronger editorial question is whether HIFI can capture infrastructure economics across three adjacent markets—payments, spending and securities settlement—without taking balance-sheet or regulatory risk that overwhelms a Series A company.

What to watch next

The next useful disclosures would be the share of HIFI's $7 billion annualized volume that is recurring, the mix between payment and capital-markets customers, and how revenue scales relative to compliance costs.

For the funding record, the facts are straightforward: $37 million of Series A equity, led by Left Lane Capital, with no disclosed valuation. The larger bet is that tokenized money will require a new connective layer rather than a separate stack for every product.
