I'm thrilled to announce that BVNK has secured a strategic investment from Citi Ventures, the venture arm of one of the world's largest global banks.

This investment reinforces our mission to accelerate the global movement of money. Our platform enables companies to harness stablecoins to move money quickly across borders and launch innovative financial products with enterprise-ready security and compliance.

This funding follows recent backing from Visa, Tiger Global, and Haun Ventures, and comes as stablecoins shift from the edges of crypto into regulated finance. Recent Citi research projects stablecoins could reach a multi-trillion-dollar payments market in the years ahead.

BVNK currently processes over $20 billion annually for global enterprises and payment service providers including Worldpay, Flywire, and dLocal – enabling them to solve real-world payments and treasury challenges.

The strategic investment comes as regulatory clarity emerges globally, with frameworks like the GENIUS Act in the United States enabling banks to issue stablecoins.

I'm excited about this new chapter as we work with Citi Ventures to build the bridge between traditional finance and the more flexible, digital financial system of tomorrow.

“Stablecoins are seeing increased interest in use for settlement of on-chain and crypto asset transactions. We were impressed by BVNK's enterprise-grade infrastructure and their proven track record.”
