Led by Left Lane Capital, the round will extend HIFI’s stablecoin settlement platform into tokenized capital markets and card issuance.
HIFI, the financial infrastructure company for stablecoin payments and tokenized assets, today announced $37 million in Series A funding led by Left Lane Capital. The financing will support the scaling of HIFI’s tokenized capital markets infrastructure and the expansion of its broader product suite, including stablecoin payments and card products.
HIFI was selected as a participant in DTCC’s July production trades using DTC-tokenized assets, alongside BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and Nasdaq. In September, the company announced a partnership with Visa to expand money movement and card capabilities using its stablecoin settlement platform, beginning with stablecoin-funded payouts to over 4 billion Visa cards worldwide.
HIFI’s infrastructure moves over $7 billion in annualized volume and has onboarded more than 10,000 businesses and 200,000 end users while its payment capabilities reach across 87 countries. Sumitomo, a Fortune Global 500 conglomerate, is rebuilding its cash management and trading operations on HIFI’s rails; Dapper is building new digital marketplaces on the platform; and Arival Bank is powering stablecoin payment experiences for its customers.
Citi projects the stablecoin market could reach $1.9 trillion by 2030, up from roughly $300 billion today, underpinning as much as $100 trillion in annual onchain settlement volume. Public equities are expected to lead capital markets onto that infrastructure, with Citi estimating approximately 3% of the U.S. equity market will be tokenized by the end of the decade. Rules for digital assets are arriving market by market rather than all at once, and each new jurisdiction adds its own banking partners, stablecoin issuers, payment networks and compliance requirements. HIFI absorbs that coordination so its customers can build once and operate across every rail and jurisdiction it supports.
“We think of settlement as one problem, not three,” said Zach Walsh, CEO of HIFI. “Whether it’s a stablecoin settling a payment, a tokenized receivable funding a card, or a tokenized security clearing a trade, the underlying event is identical: value moves and settles at the same instant, instead of moving now and settling days later. Payments, spending, and capital markets have historically needed separate infrastructure. We built one layer that solves it for all three.”
“The growth HIFI has demonstrated reflects both the strength of the team and the speed at which stablecoins have become a core part of global financial infrastructure,” said Matthew Miller, Managing Partner at Left Lane Capital, which led HIFI’s Series A. “HIFI is building an important layer in that market, giving developers the infrastructure to create products that can operate across networks and borders. We believe HIFI will become a foundational platform for the next generation of financial applications.”
