The startup positions itself as a universal liquidity layer that abstracts away fragmentation across blockchains, token standards and bridging solutions.

Its non-custodial, open-source infrastructure aggregates third-party bridges and decentralized exchanges behind a single integration, allowing applications to route trades and move assets across chains without building that plumbing in-house.

LI.FI CEO and co-founder Philipp Zentner said the company has expanded its product suite over the past year to support a wider range of partners and use cases, with the goal of making composability “invisible and reliable” for developers and end users, in the release.

The firm plans to use the new capital to expand operations, continue hiring and build new features, including infrastructure tailored for AI agents and stablecoin use cases. It is also preparing to launch an open intent and solver marketplace in the first quarter of 2026 to broaden access to third-party liquidity.

The business was founded in 2021, has grown to more than 100 employees and is approaching 1,000 B2B partners globally.

LI.FI’s infrastructure underpins swap and bridging flows for major fintech and crypto platforms including Robinhood (HOOD), Binance, Kraken, MetaMask, Phantom, Ledger, Hyperliquid, Circle (CRCL) and Alipay.

Monthly processed volume rose 595% over the past year, from $1.15 billion in October 2024 to $8 billion in October 2025, the company said, and the protocol has now handled more than $60 billion in lifetime transaction volume.
