Alpaca operates a brokerage infrastructure API that powers fintechs, banks, broker-dealers, wealth managers, algorithmic trading firms, active traders, and crypto-native financial platforms. The company supports over 10 million brokerage accounts across hundreds of fintechs and institutions in more than 40 countries. Alpaca has expanded its regulated footprint through acquisitions, including an IFSCA-regulated broker-dealer and payment service provider in GIFT City and UK/European entities with passporting across the EEA, and has launched global equities access beginning with European equities. It has onboarded major global crypto exchanges and tokenization platforms, reported doubling revenue year-over-year for three consecutive years, and surpassed $1.5 billion in assets under custody for underlying stocks backing tokenized equities. Alpaca plans to use the new financing to accelerate its agent-first brokerage and API-first prime brokerage infrastructure to support tokenized markets and AI-native financial services.
