HIFI Raises $37M Series A to Grow Stablecoin and Tokenized Markets
HIFI closed a $37M Series A, its first priced funding round, to expand stablecoin payments and tokenized market infrastructure.
HIFI, a fintech firm focused on stablecoin payments and tokenized markets, announced a $37 million Series A funding round — the company's first priced raise — according to CEO Zach Walsh, who confirmed the deal to Cointelegraph. The company did not disclose its post-money valuation alongside the announcement.
The fundraise signals growing institutional appetite for blockchain-native financial infrastructure, particularly in the stablecoin payments corridor and asset tokenization sectors, two areas that have drawn intensifying regulatory and investor attention in 2024 and into 2025. HIFI's decision to pursue a priced round — rather than a token sale or convertible note — reflects a broader trend among crypto-adjacent startups seeking credibility with traditional venture capital.

Walsh's confirmation that this marks HIFI's first priced funding round suggests the company has previously relied on earlier-stage or non-equity financing structures, a common path for blockchain startups navigating uncertain regulatory environments. The Series A positions HIFI to scale operations at a moment when demand for programmable payment rails and tokenized real-world assets is accelerating across both retail and institutional channels.
