VelaFi Secures $20M Series B Funding to Accelerate Stablecoin Payment Infrastructure

Payment infrastructure startup VelaFi has closed a Series B round worth $20 million, positioning itself to scale its blockchain-based stablecoin payment solutions.

The round underscores a broader shift in how institutions view digital currencies. As stablecoins mature from speculative assets into practical settlement tools, traditional finance players and blockchain-native firms alike are betting on infrastructure that makes these payments seamless at scale.

This momentum reflects what we're seeing across the industry: real-world adoption of stablecoins is moving beyond trading speculation. Enterprise demand for fast, cost-effective cross-border payments—powered by blockchain rails rather than correspondent banking networks—continues to accelerate. The institutional vote of confidence matters here, especially as regulatory frameworks around stablecoins solidify globally.

With this capital, VelaFi plans to expand its payment rails and deepen integrations that make stablecoin transactions practical for merchants and enterprises. The funding validates a core thesis: the future of payments runs on stable digital assets.
