> Stablecoin-Powered Global Payments

VelaFi is a stablecoin-powered payments company operating through regulated entities across Latin America, Asia, and the United States. It connects local banking rails, cross-border transfer networks, and stablecoin settlement for global businesses.

VelaFi is a stablecoin-powered financial infrastructure company serving global businesses that move money across Latin America, Asia, and the United States. It connects local banking rails, cross-border transfer networks, and major stablecoin settlement systems into a single platform, letting companies send, receive, and settle funds without relying on fragmented intermediaries in each market.

The company addresses the friction that businesses face when operating across multiple currencies and regulatory regimes by combining licensed local entities with stablecoin rails for settlement. Its infrastructure integrates fiat and digital asset flows so that funds can move between local currencies and stablecoins as part of a single transaction flow, rather than through separate conversion steps. It operates through regulated entities across its core markets and publishes compliance information for its services.

VelaFi's offering spans on and off ramps, pay-ins and pay-outs, cross-border payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, treasury tools, and custody, available through its platform or via developer APIs. Its core products cover global payment infrastructure, LATAM-focused pay-in and pay-out services, and stablecoin payment flows. The platform is used by enterprises and financial institutions that need to move funds between local currencies and stablecoins across multiple regions.
