In a significant move to enhance its operations, Utila has finalized a $22 million Series A extension, just six months after its initial Series A announcement. This increase in funding elevates the company's total Series A round to $40 million, almost tripling its valuation.
With the recent round led by Red Dot Capital Partners, the extension also saw participation from organizations such as Nyca, Wing VC, DCG, Cerca Partners, Funfair Ventures, and SilverCircle. This new influx brings Utila's total funding to over $51 million, signaling a substantial demand for its digital asset operations platform as global entities increasingly adopt stablecoins for various financial transactions.
Remarkably, Utila did not actively pursue this capital; instead, it received numerous inbound investment offers spurred by impressive growth metrics. With substantial original funding remaining, the company opted to extend its round in order to expedite market capture in the booming digital asset infrastructure sector.
"We're witnessing a fundamental shift in how organizations handle value transfer, with stablecoins at the center of this transformation," explained Bentzi Rabi, Co-founder and CEO of Utila. "Six months ago, we positioned ourselves for the next wave of digital asset adoption. Today, that wave has arrived, and Utila has become the essential infrastructure layer for any organization working with stablecoins."
Utila's growth trajectory has been remarkable since its initial funding announcement in March. The company has experienced a doubling in its customer base and now processes more than $15 billion in monthly transactions, with total transaction volumes exceeding $90 billion. This rapid expansion underscores Utila's commitment to fulfilling the needs of institutional customers, positioning it as the operating system for stablecoins, providing the secure and scalable infrastructure necessary for effective digital asset operations.
The demand for stablecoin infrastructure is underscored by market trends, as highlighted by Rabi. The early months of 2025 have seen stablecoins gain further traction in financial services, with aggregate supply climbing to $252 billion and monthly settlement volumes increasing by 43% to $1.39 trillion.
"Utila represents exactly the kind of category-defining company we look to back — one that sits at the intersection of a massive technological shift and clear enterprise demand," stated Atad Peled, Partner at Red Dot Capital Partners. "The stablecoin market is exploding, and organizations need enterprise-grade tools to operate safely and efficiently. Utila’s rapid growth and strong customer traction show they’ve built the platform the market truly needs."
