Velocity, a stablecoin treasury and settlement platform founded in 2025, has raised $38 million in Series A funding to expand its enterprise-focused financial infrastructure. The round was led by Dragonfly and FirstMark, with participation from Capital One Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, QED Investors, Activant Capital, Ripple, and Wintermute Ventures.

The funding brings Velocity’s total capital raised to nearly $50 million since its launch. The company plans to use the investment to grow its global banking and payments network, accelerate product development, strengthen regulatory capabilities, and support increasing demand from enterprise customers.

Bridging Traditional Treasury Operations and Stablecoin Infrastructure

Unlike many crypto-focused platforms, Velocity is targeting CFOs and corporate treasury teams. Its platform combines stablecoin technology with banking connectivity, compliance tools, custody solutions, liquidity management, and settlement orchestration.

The company’s goal is to help businesses improve cross-border payment processes by enabling faster settlement and reducing the need for large amounts of prefunded capital. Velocity aims to integrate with existing treasury workflows rather than requiring companies to completely redesign their financial operations.

Stablecoins Move Toward Enterprise Financial Use Cases

Velocity’s funding round highlights growing interest in stablecoins as potential infrastructure for global financial operations. Founder and CEO Eric Queathem said the company believes stablecoins will become an important part of how businesses manage and move money internationally.

The participation of investors from both fintech and financial services backgrounds reflects broader attention toward stablecoin-based solutions. However, Velocity enters a competitive market where established payment providers and emerging infrastructure companies are also working to solve challenges around cross-border transactions and liquidity.

Key takeaways for fintech startups

The stablecoin sector is moving beyond consumer crypto applications toward enterprise financial infrastructure. Key lessons include:

• Enterprise adoption depends on solving real operational challenges, not only introducing new technology.
  
  
• Regulatory readiness and compliance capabilities are becoming essential competitive advantages.
  
  
• Financial infrastructure startups need clear value propositions around cost, speed, and workflow improvements.

As financial services continue to evolve, companies building the next generation of payment and treasury infrastructure need strong strategy, market positioning, and execution. Contact us to explore how Your Fintech Story can support your fintech growth journey.
