VelaFi
VelaFi is a stablecoin-powered financial infrastructure platform that helps enterprises move money across borders quickly and at lower cost. Built out of TruBit Business, the B2B unit of Galactic Holdings, VelaFi connects local banking rails, cross-border networks and major stablecoin protocols to offer on/off-ramps, pay-ins and pay-outs, multi-currency accounts, FX and treasury tools - delivered directly or through developer-first APIs. With roots in Latin America and operations across the U.S., Hong Kong and Singapore, the company says it has served hundreds of institutional clients and processed billions of dollars in payment volume. In January 2026 it raised a $20M Series B led by XVC and Ikuyo.
