Hercle, an institutional infrastructure company bridging stablecoins, digital assets, and cross-border settlement, announced $60 million in new financing. The raise includes a $10 million equity round led by F-Prime with participation from Fulgur Ventures and Exponential Science, alongside a $50 million credit facility to support the company’s rapid global expansion.
Since launching, Hercle’s platform has processed over $20 billion in transactions, enabling institutions to move multi-million-dollar cross-border payments in stablecoins, digital assets, and fiat currencies within minutes. Built to address the growing demand for institutional-grade liquidity and settlement infrastructure, Hercle’s technology provides real-time, FX-level settlement across 30 digital assets and 25 currencies, with 90% of transactions completing in under five minutes.
The platform is already trusted by more than 200 institutional clients globally—including banks, exchanges, and fintechs—and supports high-volume settlement for money transfer operators, brokers, and corporate treasuries.
The new funding will accelerate Hercle’s international growth across South America, the Middle East, and Africa, while advancing its API stack, regulatory licensing, and banking integrations to expand access to institutional-grade stablecoin infrastructure.
KEY QUOTES:
“Settlement should be measured in minutes, not days. We watched institutions try to use stablecoins for large cross-border transactions, only to hit liquidity constraints or get stuck connecting back to traditional banking. We built Hercle with the liquidity depth and the banking infrastructure to handle institutional transaction sizes and settle near-instantly across both digital asset and fiat rails. When you can compress a three-day settlement to just a few minutes, it fundamentally changes the economics of global finance.”
Gabriele Sabbatini, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Hercle
“Stablecoin settlement is becoming the foundation of modern financial infrastructure, but institutional-grade liquidity has been the missing piece. Hercle bridges the gap between fiat and stablecoins with a liquidity engine built to institutional FX standards. It’s positioned to become the core liquidity layer underpinning institutional stablecoin settlement.”
