HIFI raises $37M Series A to expand tokenized capital markets infrastructure

Tokenized capital markets got another vote of confidence this week. HIFI, a two-year-old infrastructure company based in Jersey City, closed a $37 million Series A round led by Left Lane Capital, with participation from Antler, Arcanum Capital, Exitfund, and Side Door Ventures.

What HIFI actually does

HIFI offers a composable API platform that lets businesses move, convert, route, and orchestrate value across stablecoins and conventional bank systems simultaneously. The platform handles inflows and outflows, programmable workflows and controls, and real-world asset tokenization. HIFI is registered as a money services business and works alongside existing banking partners rather than trying to replace them.

Since January 2025, the platform has processed more than $227 million in stablecoin payments across over 6 million transactions on Polygon. For a 35-person company, that throughput is meaningful.

The repo trades that matter

In June 2026, HIFI executed a live onchain repo trade involving tokenized U.S. Treasuries. The transaction used atomic delivery-versus-payment settlement on the Canton Network, Digital Asset’s private distributed ledger platform, with DRW, Marex, and Tradeweb as counterparties. Atomic DvP means both legs of the trade, the asset transfer and the cash payment, settle simultaneously with no gap between them.

HIFI also participated in the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation’s first production trades of tokenized U.S. securities.

CEO Zach Walsh is leading the company, which has positioned itself at the intersection of real-world asset tokenization and the digitization of settlement workflows in capital markets.

The $27.3 million tranche of the round closed around September 3, 2026, with the remainder of the $37 million total coming from earlier closes.
