HIFI raises $37M in Series A as eight crypto financings total $104.2M in a week
Crypto.News reported more than $104.2 million in eight disclosed crypto financings from Sep. 19 to Sep. 25, 2026, led by HIFI's $37 million Series A and Atum's $13.5 million launch round.
Why it matters
The capital in this week went to payment and stablecoin infrastructure, with HIFI, Atum and MeshWallet accounting for most of the private rounds, rather than to exchange listings or token launches. Crypto.News's $104.2 million total is not a settled figure, since infiniFi's round is described only as more than $3 million and two tracked investments have no disclosed amount.

What happened
Crypto.News tallied more than $104.2 million across eight disclosed crypto and blockchain financings announced between Sep. 19 and Sep. 25, 2026. HIFI, which Crypto.News writes about as stablecoin infrastructure, announced a $37 million Series A on Sep. 24 led by Left Lane Capital, the largest venture round of that week on Crypto.News's count. Atum launched with $13.5 million from investors including Variant and PayPal Ventures, and MeshWallet raised $10 million in a private round, which Crypto.News groups with stablecoin payments as the period's largest private financings. Forward Industries completed a $25 million registered direct stock offering for its Solana treasury strategy, a public-company transaction that Crypto.News counts separately from venture capital. The stated total is a floor: infiniFi described its new round as more than $3 million and two other tracked investments had no disclosed amount, so the week's real figure sits above $104.2 million.
