- Pantera Capital leads $17M Series A raise, joined by Sequoia and Samsung Next.

Fin, a next-generation payments company enabling instant, high-value, global transactions, today announced it has raised a $17 million Series A led by Pantera Capital, with participation from top-tier investors including Sequoia Capital and Samsung Next. The Series A will fund team expansion and bring Fin’s stablecoin‑powered payments product to market, launching soon with early users including global enterprises, financial institutions, and crypto-native businesses seeking faster, more reliable payment rails.
Today, moving millions across borders means delays, opaque fees, and operational complexity. By pairing stablecoin speed with bank‑grade reliability, Fin offers a simple, trusted, borderless way to move money. Users and businesses can send instant, large‑value payments to other Fin users, directly into bank accounts, or across crypto rails.
“It’s difficult for incumbents to rip out their whole infrastructure and build a proper payments product in the new global stablecoin regime,” said Ian Krotinsky, co-founder of Fin. “That difficulty is our opportunity.”
“This team has repeatedly shown they can build crypto products that don’t feel like crypto—simple, intuitive, and ready for real-world users,” said Ryan Barney, Partner at Pantera Capital. “Fin brings that same product DNA to high-value global payments, stepping into a massive global opportunity.”
