Zerohash, a leading startup specializing in cryptocurrency and stablecoin infrastructure, is set to raise approximately $100 million in a new funding round that values the company near $1 billion, according to multiple industry sources. The financing effort is being led by Interactive Brokers, a publicly traded online brokerage firm, highlighting growing institutional confidence in Zerohash’s technology and the broader stablecoin sector.
Founded in 2017, Zerohash provides critical backend infrastructure that enables banks, brokerages, and fintech companies to offer digital assets such as cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and stablecoins to their clients. The company’s platform facilitates fiat-to-stablecoin exchanges through a network of banking partnerships and regulatory licenses, making it a pivotal player in bridging traditional finance with the crypto ecosystem.
Zerohash has established itself as a trusted infrastructure provider for major financial institutions, including BlackRock and Franklin Templeton, assisting them in tokenization initiatives that convert traditional financial assets into blockchain-based formats. The firm also supports stablecoin exchange services for clients like the prediction market Kalshi and digital bank MoneyLion. Its technology powers payment rails across 22 blockchains and supports multiple stablecoins, enabling seamless, compliant, and real-time transactions.
The upcoming $100 million capital injection will be used to accelerate research and development, enhance Zerohash’s infrastructure, and explore new market opportunities. This funding round follows the company’s successful Series D in 2022, which raised $105 million at a $340 million valuation, underscoring Zerohash’s rapid growth and rising prominence in the crypto infrastructure space.
Industry analysts view Zerohash’s near $1 billion valuation as a strong endorsement of the stablecoin market’s expanding importance. Stablecoins have become essential for crypto transactions, serving as a stable medium of exchange and a bridge between fiat currencies and digital assets. Zerohash’s ability to provide regulated, scalable infrastructure addresses key barriers to institutional adoption, such as compliance and technical complexity.
The surge in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has further boosted demand for Zerohash’s services. The tokenized RWA market has grown significantly, with over $20 billion in assets on-chain as of early 2025, and Zerohash reportedly facilitates around 35% of these flows. This positions the company at the forefront of the emerging on-chain capital markets ecosystem.
