$10m · Series A · Fintech · London, UK
Velocity, a London stablecoin payments and treasury platform, has added $10m to its Series A, bringing the round's total to $48m. Visa Ventures, Circle Ventures, Ripple, Haun Ventures, Translink Capital and Mirana Ventures participated in the extension. The company says the funding will support infrastructure that lets issuers, acquirers, payment providers, financial institutions and merchants use stablecoins for settlement, liquidity and treasury operations without replacing their existing financial systems.
Integration matters more than asking finance teams to rebuild
Stablecoins can move around the clock, but businesses still run payments, reconciliation and cash management through banks, ERPs and treasury systems. Velocity is positioning its platform between those systems and blockchain rails. That connector role could lower adoption friction because a finance team can add new settlement options without building its own wallets, liquidity routes and compliance stack.
The value proposition depends on operating outcomes, not simply access to stablecoins. Customers need to see less idle prefunding, faster settlement or simpler cross-border liquidity while maintaining controls across regulated partners and multiple markets. Velocity's strategic investors can help open those channels, but the commercial proof will be live transaction volume and measurable treasury savings rather than the size of the Series A.
