Crypto and blockchain companies announced more than $104.2 million in funding across eight disclosed deals between Sept. 19 and Sept. 25, 2026.
The week’s total included a $25 million public stock offering, while private funding rounds made up most of the activity. HIFI raised the largest venture round at $37 million, followed by Atum with $13.5 million and MeshWallet with $10 million.
HIFI announced a $37 million Series A on Sept. 24, led by Left Lane Capital. The company plans to use the money to expand its stablecoin settlement platform, develop card issuance and tokenized capital market services, hire more employees and strengthen its regulatory operations.
HIFI provides payment infrastructure that connects stablecoins with traditional financial services. The company said its platform handles more than $7 billion in annualized volume. It has also integrated with Visa Direct and the Circle Payments Network.
Forward Industries completed a separate $25 million registered direct stock offering to an institutional investor. The company sold 3.125 million common shares and received about $25 million in gross proceeds before fees and expenses.
The company said the money will be used to expand its Solana treasury strategy. Forward Industries began building its SOL holdings in 2025 and also stakes Solana as part of its digital asset strategy. Because the financing came through a public stock sale, it is included in the overall weekly total but is not considered a private venture round.
Atum also entered the market with $13.5 million in funding as it came out of stealth on Sept. 22.
Its investors include Variant, PayPal Ventures, Abstract Ventures, Road Capital, Mirana Ventures, First Commit and Credibly Neutral.
Atum is developing a payments network that connects stablecoins, blockchains and other payment systems. The company says it does not issue its own currency or hold customer funds. Its services are aimed at financial institutions and stablecoin card issuers.
MeshWallet raised another $10 million in a private round backed by private investors and family offices. The Tallinn-based company plans to use the funding to expand its self-custodial wallet and services for retail and business customers.
Its wallet allows users to send TRC-20 USDT without maintaining a separate TRX balance to pay network fees.
Other deals during the week included an $8 million seed round for CatchBack. Foundation Capital led the round, with participation from Y Combinator, Robinhood Ventures, Coinbase Ventures and the Solana Foundation.
CatchBack operates a collectibles marketplace that connects digital mystery packs with physical trading cards that users can trade or redeem.
Infini also raised $6 million in a seed round. The company is building stablecoin-based financial services covering accounts, payments, cards and treasury management. Investors include Reforge, Enlight Capital, Fortwest Capital, NexGen Capital, SNZ Capital and Vernal Capital.
Below the $5 million mark, infiniFi raised more than $3 million in a round led by Electric Capital. New Form Capital, Generative Ventures and Fasanara Capital also participated. The company said its total outside funding has now passed $6 million, but only the newly announced amount is included in this week’s total.
functionSPACE raised $1.7 million in a pre-seed round led by Maven 11 Capital, with Blockwall and Smape Capital also participating. The company is developing an onchain pricing protocol.
There were also two deals with undisclosed amounts. XStable received investment from YZi Labs, the Sui Foundation, Taisu Ventures and CatcherVC for its onchain trading infrastructure focused on precious metals and foreign exchange.
Travix also announced a seed round led by Amber Group for its onchain perpetuals project, although the amount was not disclosed.
Overall, the week’s disclosed financing reached more than $104.2 million. Stablecoin payments and financial infrastructure were a major part of the activity, with several of the largest private rounds focused on making stablecoins easier to use for payments, cards and financial services.
