Stablecoin Infrastructure Boom Drives Utila's Tripled Valuation in Half a Year

Utila has raised $22 million in a Series A extension round, bringing its total A-round funding to $40 million and nearly tripling the company’s valuation in six months. The round was led by Red Dot Capital Partners, with additional participation from Nyca, Wing VC, DCG, Cerca Partners, FunFair Ventures, and SilverCircle. The total funding now exceeds $51 million, reflecting the growing demand for Utila’s digital asset operations platform as stablecoins gain traction in financial services, treasury management, and operational workflows [1].

The extension round was driven by strong inbound interest from investors, despite the company not actively seeking additional capital. Utila has experienced significant growth, nearly doubling its customer base and processing over $15 billion in monthly volume, with more than $90 billion in total transactions secured to date. The company now serves hundreds of institutional clients globally, offering a comprehensive platform for managing stablecoin operations at scale [1].

Bentzi Rabi, co-founder and CEO of Utila, highlighted the transformative role of stablecoins in value transfer and digital asset infrastructure. He emphasized that Utila has positioned itself as the essential infrastructure layer for institutions operating with stablecoins, including payment providers, stablecoin issuers, and financial institutions building next-generation treasury systems. The company’s rapid growth aligns with the broader trend of stablecoin adoption, which saw aggregate supply reach $252 billion and monthly settlement volumes increase by 43% in the first half of 2025 [1].

The extension underscores the strong market demand for enterprise-grade stablecoin infrastructure as organizations seek secure, scalable tools to manage digital assets. Atad Peled, Partner at Red Dot Capital Partners, noted that Utila is a category-defining company that sits at the intersection of technological innovation and enterprise need. The stablecoin market's expansion has created a demand for infrastructure that can meet the security, compliance, and operational complexity requirements of institutional users [1].

Utila’s platform offers four core functions: stablecoin operations, treasury operations, trading operations, and business continuity. These capabilities address the full spectrum of digital asset management, from minting and minting operations to secure, policy-driven treasury management and institutional-grade trading infrastructure across centralized exchanges and DeFi protocols. The platform is built with military-grade security, multi-chain support, and comprehensive integrations with AML providers and exchanges, ensuring compliance and operational resilience [1].

The additional funding will accelerate Utila’s global expansion and product development. The company plans to strengthen its presence in North America and Europe while aggressively expanding into emerging markets such as LATAM, APAC, and Africa, where stablecoins play a key role in financial infrastructure. As regulatory frameworks in these regions continue to mature, Utila is well positioned to support institutions in leveraging stablecoins for scalable, secure, and compliant digital asset operations [1].
