LI.FI, the Berlin-based startup building infrastructure for seamless movement of digital assets across blockchains, has secured a $29 million extension to its Series A round. The fresh capital brings the company’s total funding to $51.7 million, with Multicoin Capital joining as a lead investor alongside earlier backers such as CoinFund.

Co-founder and CEO Philipp Zentner said the raise reflects growing confidence in the company’s role within the evolving crypto ecosystem.
“Our goal remains to make composability invisible and reliable, enabling the entire industry to build on it confidently,” he noted in the announcement.
A Rising Player in Cross-Chain Infrastructure
LI.FI describes itself as a universal liquidity layer—a bridge between decentralized exchanges, cross-chain protocols, and the applications that rely on them. Developers use LI.FI’s toolkits to route swaps and move tokens across networks without managing the complexity behind the scenes.
That demand has accelerated quickly. The company reports more than $60 billion in lifetime transaction volume, with monthly volume jumping from $1.15 billion in October 2024 to $8 billion in October 2025—a 595% increase year over year.
Its technology is used by nearly 1,000 B2B customers, including major crypto wallets like MetaMask and Phantom, trading platforms such as Binance and Robinhood, and an expanding list of payments companies, hardware makers, and stablecoin issuers.
Multicoin investment partner Spencer Applebaum said LI.FI’s infrastructure simplifies a major pain point for developers.
“They give fintechs and web3 wallets a single API to offer both trading and cross-chain asset movement,” he said, adding that LI.FI handles routing and execution so apps can scale without managing multi-chain complexity directly.
Funding to Fuel New Tools and AI-Driven Features
The company plans to put the new capital toward product expansion, including tools designed for AI agents, features for stablecoins, and the rollout of its open intent and solver marketplace slated for early 2026. The initiative aims to streamline how applications request and fulfill on-chain actions, potentially broadening LI.FI’s role in how decentralized services communicate.
This extension follows a steady fundraising history: a $5.5 million seed round led by 1kx in 2022, and the first $17.5 million tranche of its Series A in March 2023 co-led by CoinFund and Superscrypt.
A Note on Security
LI.FI faced a setback in July 2024 when a smart contract update exposed roughly 153 user wallets, leading to $12 million in losses. The company has since worked to tighten its security processes, and the latest investment suggests continued confidence from major players in the sector.
