HIFI

Connects stablecoin payments to banking rails

Overview

HIFI builds stablecoin and tokenized-markets infrastructure that links blockchain settlement to U.S. banking rails, cards, and capital-markets workflows. Its platform lets customers move dollars into and out of stablecoins, make payouts through traditional banking rails and Visa Direct cards, and settle the cash side of tokenized repo and Treasury trades. The company has processed billions in annualized volume on its platform and has participated in DTCC production trades using tokenized securities alongside major firms like BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Nasdaq. Its goal is to scale tokenized-capital-markets infrastructure and expand stablecoin payments products for institutional use, leveraging direct connections to banks, card networks, and capital markets workflows to enable smoother, faster settlement of digital-asset transactions.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • September 2026 Series A raised $37 million from Left Lane Capital.
  • HIFI said annualized volume exceeded $7 billion, with usage up fourfold in six months.
  • Visa Direct, Circle Payments Network, and 10,000 businesses expand distribution and network effects.

What critics are saying

  • Cross River provides HIFI's banking services, so partner dependence threatens margins and continuity.
  • Stripe's Bridge bundle and zerohash attack HIFI's core workflow from adjacent platforms.
  • If licensing stalls past 2027, HIFI remains a dependent MSB, not essential infrastructure.

What makes HIFI unique

  • HIFI bridges stablecoins to ACH, FedNow, Fedwire, SWIFT, and Visa Direct.
  • In July 2026, HIFI joined DTCC tokenized-asset production trades with BlackRock and Goldman Sachs.
  • Its single API spans compliance, bank accounts, payouts, and tokenized repo settlement.
