HIFI Closes $37M Series A, DTCC Live Trading and Visa Partnership Prove Key Bargaining Chips

A company processing over $7 billion in annual transaction volume across 87 countries landing a spot on DTCC's live trading list and then striking a deal with Visa, all within the same month — that kind of timing makes this funding round look more like a natural next step than a simple cash grab.

HIFI, a New York-based company focused on stablecoin payments and tokenized assets, confirmed to The Block in a statement on Thursday that it has closed a $37 million Series A round led by Left Lane Capital. The funds will go toward expanding its tokenized capital markets infrastructure and its broader product lineup.

HIFI's core product is an API infrastructure that bundles money movement, compliance, and settlement into a single integration, bridging both the banking side and the digital asset side. According to the company, the system now processes over $7 billion annually across 87 countries.

The funding round comes on the heels of HIFI's participation in DTCC's live production trading of tokenized securities on DTC this past July, alongside BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Nasdaq. The statement also noted that earlier this month, HIFI struck a partnership with Visa to extend its stablecoin settlement platform into cross-border remittances and card payments, initially supporting stablecoin disbursements to over 4 billion Visa cards worldwide.

Both partnerships were written into the funding announcement, which speaks to the logic behind investors' bets — not just faith in a startup's technical roadmap, but confirmation that it's already been folded into the actual trading workflows of institutions like DTCC and Visa.

For now, HIFI hasn't disclosed its post-money valuation from this round, nor has it detailed a specific timeline for allocating the funds.
