Velocity has raised $38 million in a Series A funding round to expand infrastructure that connects stablecoin networks with the banking, custody, treasury, and settlement systems used by large companies. Cointelegraph reported that the round included Dragonfly, FirstMark, Coinbase Ventures, Ripple, and several other financial technology investors.
The financing brings Velocity’s total capital raised to nearly $50 million since its launch in 2025. The company is building a platform that allows enterprises, payment providers, banks, and fintech firms to hold, move, convert, and reconcile stablecoins without assembling separate infrastructure for every blockchain, custodian, exchange, and banking partner.
Stablecoins have become increasingly important for cross-border payments and corporate treasury operations because they can move around the clock and settle more quickly than many bank transfers. However, the operational systems surrounding them remain fragmented. Companies must manage wallet security, liquidity, compliance, fiat conversion, accounting, and connectivity across multiple networks.
Velocity Targets the Enterprise Integration Gap
Velocity’s platform is designed to sit between blockchain-based money and conventional financial infrastructure. It provides a unified layer for routing transactions, managing liquidity, connecting custodians, and coordinating settlement across stablecoins and bank accounts.
For a corporate treasury team, the value lies in reducing the number of direct integrations required to use stablecoins at scale. A company may need access to USDC, USDT, or other regulated tokens across several blockchains while still maintaining relationships with banks in different countries. Velocity aims to manage those connections through a single operational system.
The company is also targeting payment processors and financial institutions that want to offer stablecoin services to their own clients. These businesses often require transaction monitoring, policy controls, audit trails, and dependable liquidity before they can move beyond limited pilots.
Investors Bet on Stablecoins as Financial Infrastructure
The participation of Coinbase Ventures and Ripple highlights the strategic importance of enterprise stablecoin adoption to major crypto companies. Coinbase is closely linked to USDC distribution and blockchain infrastructure, while Ripple has expanded its payments, custody, prime brokerage, and RLUSD stablecoin businesses.
Dragonfly and FirstMark led the round, with additional participation from Activant Capital, Capital One Ventures, QED Investors, Wintermute Ventures, and others. The investor group spans crypto-native funds, traditional venture capital, payments, banking, and market-making expertise.
Velocity enters a competitive market that includes stablecoin issuers, custody providers, payment processors, orchestration platforms, and banking-as-a-service companies. Its ability to remain neutral across tokens, chains, and financial partners may become an advantage, particularly for enterprises that do not want to depend on a single stablecoin ecosystem.
Regulation will remain central to the company’s growth. Stablecoin rules are becoming clearer in the United States and other major markets, but enterprises still need systems capable of meeting local licensing, reserve, sanctions, and anti-money-laundering requirements.
The funding reflects a broader shift in crypto investment from speculative consumer applications toward financial infrastructure. As more companies use stablecoins for treasury management and payments, demand is growing for the operational layer that connects blockchain settlement with existing accounting, banking, and compliance systems. Velocity is betting that this connective infrastructure will become a core component of global corporate finance.
