HIFI Secures $37 Million Series A to Boost Stablecoin Payments and Tokenized Market Infrastructure

HIFI, a provider of stablecoin payment and tokenized market infrastructure, announced a $37 million Series A funding round led by Left Lane Capital. The round marks the company’s first priced financing, though the valuation was not disclosed.

Funding and Growth Context

The capital will be used to expand HIFI’s product suite, including stablecoin payment solutions and its tokenized capital‑markets infrastructure. HIFI processes roughly $7 billion in annualized volume directly through its platform.

Stablecoin Activity Amid Market Weakness

Cross‑border stablecoin flows grew 77.5% to $220.3 billion in the 12 months ending June 2026, even as the broader crypto market contracted by more than a third over the same period, according to Chainalysis.

Tokenized Capital‑Markets Expansion

HIFI’s infrastructure enables customers to move dollars into and out of stablecoins, settle tokenized repo and Treasury transactions in U.S. dollars, and issue payouts via U.S. banking rails and cards. In July, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) conducted production trades using tokenized securities, with HIFI participating alongside firms such as BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and Nasdaq. The DTCC plans to launch its Tokenization Service in October.

Card‑Based Stablecoin Payouts

HIFI has added Visa Direct support, allowing users to convert USDC and send proceeds to eligible Visa debit and credit cards worldwide. Visa reported that more than 160 stablecoin‑linked card programs were live globally in its most recent quarter, with payment volume rising nearly 200% year‑over‑year and stablecoin settlement volume surpassing a $20 billion annualized run rate.

Industry Momentum

Major payment networks and clearinghouses are increasingly testing blockchain‑based financial infrastructure, reflecting growing demand for solutions that bridge digital assets and traditional banking systems.
