Stablecoin infrastructure company Velocity has expanded its Series A funding round to $48 million<\/strong> after securing another $10 million from investors including Visa Ventures, Circle Ventures and Ripple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest financing values the London-based company at approximately $200 million post-money<\/strong>, according to CEO Eric Queathem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Velocity plans to use the new capital to expand its stablecoin payment, settlement and treasury infrastructure as demand for blockchain-based financial services continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Velocity Series A reaches $48 million<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Velocity announced on Sept. 15 that it had raised an additional $10 million<\/strong>, bringing its total Series A financing to $48 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extension round included participation from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Visa Ventures<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Circle Ventures<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ripple<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Haun Ventures<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Translink Capital<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Mirana Ventures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The financing follows Velocity’s original $38 million Series A<\/strong>, which was announced on July 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That earlier round was led by Dragonfly and FirstMark, with participation from Activant Capital, Capital One Ventures, QED Investors, Coinbase Ventures, Wintermute Ventures and Ripple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ripple therefore participated in both the original round and the latest extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to Queathem, the new investment gives Velocity a $200 million post-money valuation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He also said the original Series A had been oversubscribed, highlighting investor interest in stablecoin payment infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Velocity focuses on stablecoin payment infrastructure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Velocity builds infrastructure designed to help companies use stablecoins without replacing their existing financial systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its platform connects stablecoin networks with traditional banking rails, custody services, liquidity providers, compliance systems and settlement tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The company works with several types of financial businesses, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Banks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Payment companies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Merchants<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Acquirers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Fintech companies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Stablecoin issuers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Velocity’s approach is to place stablecoin technology behind existing payment and treasury systems rather than requiring companies to operate a completely separate crypto infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This means businesses can potentially benefit from blockchain-based settlement while keeping much of their existing financial workflow unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Visa investment highlights growing stablecoin demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Visa Ventures’ participation in the funding round comes as Visa continues expanding its own stablecoin capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Visa has increasingly explored how stablecoins can be used for settlement, cross-border payments and other financial services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Rubail Birwadker, Visa’s global head of growth products and strategic partnerships, said stablecoins are becoming an increasingly important part of Visa’s ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He described Velocity as infrastructure that could help bring stablecoin-based money movement to more businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The investment also follows previous operational work between Visa and Velocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      On Sept. 9, MVB Financial and Velocity announced their participation in a Visa Direct pilot involving stablecoin settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The program allows eligible participants to use stablecoins for certain funding and settlement obligations linked to Visa Direct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Stablecoin settlement can operate through a single API<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Velocity said the MVB arrangement uses a single API<\/strong> combined with regulated wallet infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Digital asset conversion, wallet connectivity and blockchain controls are handled through licensed partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This allows stablecoins to be integrated into existing payment systems without requiring customers to build and maintain their own blockchain infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The availability of the service still depends on customer eligibility and geographic restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The model reflects Velocity’s broader strategy of making blockchain settlement largely invisible to the end user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Businesses can continue using familiar financial systems while stablecoins operate behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Visa expands its stablecoin ecosystem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Visa’s interest in Velocity comes amid broader growth in its stablecoin-related payment activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The company recently reported that more than 160 stablecoin-linked card programs<\/strong> were operating globally during its fiscal second quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Payment volume across these programs had increased by nearly 200% year over year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Visa also said stablecoin settlement volume had exceeded a $20 billion annualized rate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      These figures show how stablecoins are increasingly moving beyond crypto-native applications and into mainstream financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Velocity targets settlement and treasury operations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Founded in 2025, Velocity focuses on companies that want to use stablecoins for payments and treasury management without rebuilding their existing financial systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Its platform combines stablecoin infrastructure with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Local banking services<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Custody<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Liquidity management<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Foreign exchange connectivity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Compliance tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Regulated wallets<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Treasury automation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Payment settlement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        One of the potential advantages is reducing reliance on prefunded accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Traditional international payment systems often require companies to keep money in multiple bank accounts around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Stablecoin-based settlement can potentially reduce that requirement by allowing funds to move more quickly between markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Velocity also argues that blockchain settlement can operate outside traditional banking hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Stablecoins could reshape corporate treasury operations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Queathem previously worked at Worldpay, where he gained experience with large payment networks and settlement infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        His strategy for Velocity is based on the idea that stablecoins will increasingly operate behind existing financial products rather than forcing businesses and consumers to interact directly with blockchain technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        He believes corporate adoption of onchain assets will expand significantly over the next several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Queathem has said that he expects every global business to eventually hold some form of value onchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        That forecast remains the company’s view rather than a confirmed market outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        However, the growing number of stablecoin investments from banks, payment networks and venture capital firms shows that the sector is attracting significant institutional attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Stablecoin infrastructure funding grows in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Velocity is not the only stablecoin infrastructure company attracting major investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Several companies in the sector have raised significant funding during 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Tazapay, for example, increased its Series B funding to $36 million<\/strong>, with backing from Circle Ventures, Coinbase Ventures and Ripple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Another infrastructure provider, Checker, raised $8 million<\/strong> to develop a single API that allows banks and fintech companies to launch stablecoin services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Checker said it had processed more than $3 billion in transactions<\/strong> during the previous 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        These funding rounds suggest investors increasingly view stablecoin infrastructure as an important part of future payment systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Visa previously backed BVNK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Visa Ventures has also invested in other stablecoin infrastructure companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In 2025, Visa took a strategic stake in BVNK following the company’s $50 million Series B<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        BVNK provides infrastructure connecting traditional currencies with blockchain-based payment systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Its services include payments, payouts, treasury management and settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Mastercard later completed its acquisition of BVNK in August 2026 in a transaction reportedly worth up to $1.8 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The deal highlighted the growing interest from major payment networks in companies building stablecoin infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Visa’s investment in Velocity therefore fits into a broader industry trend in which traditional payment companies are building exposure to blockchain-based settlement technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Velocity operates within a developing UK stablecoin regime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Velocity is headquartered in London, where the regulatory environment for stablecoins is continuing to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        UK regulators finalized new rules covering qualifying stablecoins and crypto custody on June 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The framework is expected to apply to companies authorized under the new regime beginning Oct. 25, 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The application gateway is scheduled to open on Sept. 30, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Velocity says its infrastructure connects customers with licensed banks, foreign exchange providers and digital asset partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The company’s public materials do not suggest that every regulated activity is performed directly by Velocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Instead, certain activities, including digital asset conversion and blockchain controls, are handled by licensed partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Circle investment strengthens Velocity’s stablecoin connections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Circle Ventures’ participation in the funding round also strengthens Velocity’s connections to the broader stablecoin ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Circle is the issuer of USDC, one of the largest dollar-backed stablecoins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The company reported approximately $74.1 billion of USDC in circulation<\/strong> as of Sept. 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Circle also said USDC was available through more than 1,000 banks, blockchains, distributors and other partners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Circle’s investment in Velocity reflects the growing effort among stablecoin issuers to expand the infrastructure that connects digital dollars with businesses and traditional financial institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What comes next for Velocity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Velocity says the expanded $48 million Series A<\/strong> will support further development of its platform and partnerships with banks, merchants, payment providers, issuers and other financial institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The company has not disclosed a separate timeline for spending the additional $10 million raised in the extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Its growth strategy centers on making stablecoin infrastructure easier to integrate into existing financial systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Rather than asking companies to replace their current treasury and payment operations, Velocity wants stablecoins to function as an underlying settlement layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Backing from Visa Ventures, Circle Ventures, Ripple and other major investors suggests that institutional interest in stablecoin infrastructure remains strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        As stablecoin adoption expands across payments, treasury management and settlement, companies such as Velocity could play an increasingly important role in connecting blockchain networks with traditional finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
