Kira, a global payments infrastructure platform specialising in embedded financial solutions powered by AI and stablecoins, has closed a $6.7m seed funding round.
The round was led by Blockchange Ventures, Vamos Ventures, Stellar Blockchain, Grit Ventures, Credibly Neutral Ventures, Michael Seibel, and Oso Trava.
Kira provides the infrastructure enabling companies to launch FinTech products quickly and at scale, particularly in emerging markets. Its platform integrates AI-driven payments, treasury automation, compliance workflows, and global payouts, allowing enterprises and startups to deliver modern financial services seamlessly.
The fresh capital will accelerate Kira’s expansion across Latin America, initially focusing on South America. The funds will also support technical team growth, development of new products, and strategic partnerships with regional banks and payment processors to broaden Kira’s reach.
Founded by Edrizio De La Cruz, José Alberto ‘Beto’ Díaz, and Camilo Jiménez, Kira has operated in stealth mode for over a year while building its payments infrastructure. The platform combines stablecoins, AI, and enterprise APIs to simplify the launch of compliant, scalable FinTech solutions for remittances, savings, global payroll, and more.
Edrizio De La Cruz, Kira CEO and co-founder, said, “This funding allows us to accelerate building the infrastructure, starting in Latin America needs to compete in the global digital economy. Our vision is to leverage stablecoins and AI to provide modern financial services to the 1 billion underbanked.”
Rob Schmults, general partner at Blockchange Ventures, added, “Bringing blockchain powered financial services to any enterprise is a potentially massive new category of business. The team at Kira was not only well positioned to have seen this, but bring an ideal combination of experience, expertise, and connections to actually make it happen”
