Summary
Infinia, a digital finance infrastructure company connecting conventional banking systems with digital asset rails, raised $13.5 million in an oversubscribed Series A round led by Bain Capital and Variant Fund, with participation from Y Combinator, Lattice, Varrock, Reverie, Decacorn, G2, and Tekton Ventures. The company builds technical and regulatory connections between legacy clearing routes (Brazil's Pix, Mexico's SPEI) and on-chain settlement. Infinia plans to deploy capital toward obtaining further regulatory licenses and accelerating growth in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The platform handles fragmented local KYC/KYB requirements and enables automated settlement across multiple currencies with real-time treasury netting.
Key Facts
- Series A: $13.5M, led by Bain Capital and Variant Fund
- Backers include Y Combinator, Lattice, Varrock, Reverie, Decacorn, G2, Tekton Ventures
- Connects domestic fiat systems (Pix, SPEI) with digital asset rails
- Focus markets: Latin America, Africa, Asia
- Compliance-first architecture: KYC/KYB, automated settlement, real-time treasury netting
- CEO Ianai Urwicz: solving the last-mile problem between on-chain and local fiat
Why It Matters
Infinia addresses the critical infrastructure gap between fast-growing stablecoin adoption in emerging markets and the domestic fiat systems where most commerce still happens. As cross-border trade increasingly uses stablecoins for 24/7 settlement, the ability to seamlessly connect on-chain rails with local payment systems like Pix and SPEI becomes essential infrastructure. The Bain Capital and Variant Fund backing signals institutional confidence in this thesis.
