  • Zero Hash

    Participated · Series D · Sep 2025

    Founded in 2017, Zero Hash offers an on-chain infrastructure platform that functions like the “AWS of crypto,” supplying APIs and developer kits that power trading, payments, remittances, payroll, tokenization and other digital-asset use cases. The company’s regulatory-first model enables clients such as Interactive Brokers, Stripe, Shift4, BlackRock’s BUIDL Fund, Franklin Templeton and DraftKings to embed crypto, stablecoin and tokenized asset services while meeting compliance requirements. Zero Hash supports more than five million end users across 190 countries, illustrating broad adoption of its platform. Management says demand is accelerating as clearer U.S. and EU regulations spur mainstream financial institutions to pursue on-chain strategies. The firm plans to use its newest capital to accelerate product development and grow headcount, further entrenching itself as core infrastructure for banks, brokerages, payment companies and loyalty platforms. Including the latest raise, Zero Hash has secured roughly $275 million in total funding and is now valued at about $1 billion.
