HIFI Raises $37M to Expand Stablecoin Payments

HIFI has raised $37 million in a Series A round to expand its stablecoin payments and tokenized markets business, according to CEO Zach Walsh. The company said the financing marks its first priced funding round, but it did not disclose a valuation.

The raise comes as stablecoin infrastructure continues to attract capital from investors looking for exposure to payment rails, settlement tools and tokenized financial products. HIFI’s focus on stablecoin payments places it in a competitive segment that is increasingly tied to broader efforts to modernize cross-border transfers and onchain market infrastructure.

Walsh told Cointelegraph the company plans to use the capital to support expansion across stablecoin payments and tokenized markets. While HIFI did not provide additional terms, the size of the round suggests investor confidence in the company’s product roadmap and the broader commercial case for blockchain-based financial plumbing.

The funding also arrives against a favorable macro backdrop for digital assets, with risk appetite elevated and capital flowing toward infrastructure names that can connect traditional finance with blockchain settlement systems. That said, the absence of a disclosed valuation limits the ability to assess whether the round reflects premium pricing or a more measured entry point.

For market participants, the raise reinforces a clear theme: stablecoin payments remain one of the most investable areas in crypto, especially as firms seek faster settlement, lower transaction costs and tokenized asset distribution.
