HIFI screens every external wallet so funds don’t reach addresses linked to hacks, scams, or sanctions. Every external wallet is screened for links to illicit or sanctioned activity at registration, then rescreened on an ongoing basis. When one is flagged, HIFI’s in-house compliance team reviews it, so your users’ funds and your business stay protected without a screening program of your own. → Docs:

73% of stablecoin transfer volume in the past year moved outside US banking hours. An agent buying data or compute pays whenever its task runs. The business receiving that payment may need dollars in a bank account, and ACH and wire transfers wait for the next business day.

AI agents can now ask to pay, prove they’re authorized, and check out using new protocols. The protocols cover the request, but settling the payment is left to whoever processes it. Before a merchant has the funds, five questions need answers: who the agent is and who it acts for, whether the payment is within its limits, which asset and rail carry the value, which compliance checks apply, and how the outcome is recorded so finance can reconcile it. We wrote The Execution Gap on what happens after an agent decides to pay. It walks through four transaction flows, from a pay-per-call API to an enterprise agent spending against a budget, and what has to happen at each step. → Read the report:

Proud to triple down on @hifiHQ’s $37M Series A, led by @leftlanecap! We first backed @ZachaWalsh and Mo Afifi at pre-seed in 2024. Everyone was chasing stablecoin buzz. HiFi was heads-down on the hard part: the infrastructure companies actually launch products on. Two years later they process $7B+ a year for 50+ fintechs. They powered @The_DTCC ‘s tokenized repo pilot, and they settle stablecoins alongside @Visa Direct. Along the way, we've connected them with corporates across the @PlugandPlayTC ecosystem. Several became investors, and some became customers. Video below👇

A tokenized US Treasury can settle onchain while the institution financing it keeps its cash in a bank account. In @The_DTCC's first production trades using tokenized U.S. securities, HIFI moved the cash leg of two Treasury repo transactions, from bank dollars into USDC and USDCx on @CantonNetwork for settlement, then back to the bank at maturity. HIFI CEO @ZachaWalsh on why the cash leg is what lets tokenized markets run at institutional scale.

Money is becoming software. HIFI is the infrastructure it runs on. We've raised a $37 million Series A led by @leftlanecap. Thank you to the customers who run on HIFI, the team that builds it, and the investors who back it. Demand is accelerating. We now process more than $7 billion a year, and existing customers have grown their usage more than 400% in the past six months. Together, they've onboarded more than 10,000 businesses and 200,000 individuals through HIFI. Our technology runs from Wall Street to everyday payments.
