Utila Triples Valuation in Six Months as Stablecoin Infrastructure Demand Triggers $22M Extension Round
Utila emerges as the go-to operating system for stablecoins as institutional demand for digital asset infrastructure explodes
NEW YORK CITY and TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Utila has closed a $22 million Series A extension round just six months after announcing its Series A, bringing its total A round to $40 million and nearly tripling the company's valuation. The extension, led by Red Dot Capital Partners with participation from Nyca, Wing VC, DCG, Cerca Partners, FunFair Ventures and SilverCircle, brings the total funding to more than $51 million and reflects the explosive demand for Utila’s digital asset operations platform as organizations worldwide adopt stablecoins for payments, treasury management and operational workflows.
The rapid-fire extension round materialized without Utila actively seeking capital, as the company received multiple inbound investment offers driven by hypergrowth across all key metrics. With almost all of its original Series A funding still in the bank, the company chose to extend the round to accelerate market capture in the exploding digital asset infrastructure sector.
Since its Series A announcement in March, Utila has seen unprecedented growth driven by mainstream adoption of stablecoins across financial services and more than doubled its customer base. The company now processes over $15 billion in monthly volume and has secured more than $90 billion in total transactions. With hundreds of global institutional customers, Utila has rapidly established itself as the operating system for stablecoins, providing the secure, scalable infrastructure that enterprises need to build, manage and scale digital asset operations.
The Stablecoin Infrastructure Imperative
"We're witnessing a fundamental shift in how organizations handle value transfer, with stablecoins at the center of this transformation," said Bentzi Rabi, co-founder and CEO of Utila. "Six months ago, we positioned ourselves for the next wave of digital asset adoption. Today, that wave has arrived, and Utila has become the essential infrastructure layer for any organization working with stablecoins - from global payment providers to stablecoin issuers to financial institutions building next-generation treasury and trading operations."
The rapid extension round underscores the massive market opportunity as stablecoin adoption accelerates across industries. The first half of 2025 pushed stablecoins deeper into the financial mainstream, with aggregate supply climbing to $252 billion and monthly settlement volumes rising 43% to $1.39 trillion. Payment providers, neobanks and financial institutions are increasingly integrating stablecoins into their core operations, creating unprecedented demand for enterprise-grade infrastructure that can handle the complexity, security and compliance requirements of institutional digital asset operations.
“Utila represents exactly the kind of category-defining company we look to back — one that sits at the intersection of a massive technological shift and clear enterprise demand,” said Atad Peled, Partner at Red Dot Capital Partners. “The stablecoin market is exploding, and organizations need enterprise-grade tools to operate safely and efficiently. Utila’s rapid growth and strong customer traction show they’ve built the platform the market truly needs.”
The Complete Digital Asset Operations Platform
Utila’s platform handles four core functions that address the full spectrum of digital asset operations:
- Stablecoin Operations – Complete infrastructure for stablecoin issuers, payment providers and enterprises integrating stablecoin workflows into their business operations
- Treasury Operations – Secure, policy-driven treasury management for digital assets with granular controls and compliance frameworks
- Trading Operations – Institutional-grade trading infrastructure across centralized exchanges and DeFi protocols
- Business Continuity – Seamless wallet environment mirroring capabilities for mission-critical operations
Built by cryptography and cybersecurity experts, Utila combines military-grade security with the operational flexibility that modern institutions require. The platform features secure enterprise-grade MPC wallets, granular policy controls, robust developer APIs, multi-chain support, payments and tokenization engine, comprehensive integrations to AML providers, exchanges, DeFi, and banking rails, and insurance coverage providing additional protection for institutional assets.
"Most institutional wallet providers are still solving yesterday's problems: trading connectivity and exchange integrations," explained Rabi. "The infrastructure requirements for operational use cases are fundamentally different from traditional crypto trading. Organizations need platforms that can handle high-volume transactions, complex compliance workflows and enterprise-grade security - all while maintaining the speed and flexibility that digital assets enable. We provide that complete solution, which is why we are the fastest growing, all-in-one wallet platform in the market today.”
Proven Enterprise Platform with Global Reach
The extension funding will accelerate Utila's global expansion and product development as the company scales to meet surging demand for digital asset infrastructure. Beyond strengthening its presence in North America and Europe, the company plans to expand aggressively in emerging markets where stablecoins play pivotal roles in financial infrastructure - particularly LATAM, APAC and Africa - as regulatory frameworks in these regions continue to mature.
Utila's client roster spans the full digital asset ecosystem: payment service providers integrating USDC rails, neobanks building stablecoin products, institutional trading firms accessing DeFi liquidity, and stablecoin issuers managing minting operations and more. This breadth contrasts with point solutions in the market targeting specific use cases.
Utila's rapid growth trajectory positions the company at the forefront of the institutional digital asset adoption wave. As stablecoins become the backbone of next-generation financial infrastructure, Utila provides the essential operating system that enables organizations to participate securely, efficiently and at scale.
