Citi Ventures has made a strategic investment in BVNK, a global stablecoin infrastructure provider that powers digital asset transactions for leading enterprises and payment service providers. The investment underscores Citi’s growing focus on next-generation financial infrastructure built around stablecoins, following recent participation from other major backers including Visa, Haun Ventures, and Tiger Global.
BVNK processes more than $20 billion annually, serving as the stablecoin infrastructure backbone for companies such as Worldpay, Flywire, and dLocal. Its platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools that allow businesses to integrate stablecoins into their operations—from cross-border payments and treasury management to building new digital financial products.
The company’s technology provides enterprise-grade compliance, security, and settlement capabilities that enable faster and more efficient movement of money across global markets. As stablecoin adoption expands, BVNK’s infrastructure is positioned to play a key role in helping businesses and financial institutions modernize payment rails and reduce dependence on legacy systems.
Citi Ventures’ investment comes amid a wave of regulatory progress around stablecoins, including new frameworks such as the GENIUS Act in the United States, which gives banks clearer guidelines for issuing and using digital currencies.
BVNK continues to scale its platform through global partnerships and regulatory licensing, helping enterprises unlock the speed and transparency of blockchain-based payments while maintaining the trust and oversight expected of traditional finance.
