U.S. crypto startup Zerohash raised $104 million in a Series D funding round, led by Interactive Brokers. Additionally, investors include financial firms such as Morgan Stanley, SoFi, and Apollo. Zerohash founder and CEO Edward Woodford said the funding values the company at $1 billion. Furthermore, the company plans to use the funds to expand its services.
Woodford explained that the company aimed to secure investments from trusted, large brands. He said this approach would bridge traditional finance with new crypto technology. Consequently, Zerohash funding will accelerate adoption across its three core verticals: crypto trading, stablecoins, and tokenization. In addition, the company expects stronger partnerships with strategic investors.
Interactive Brokers already uses Zerohash for crypto trading and custody services. Moreover, the firm will launch a stablecoin product in partnership with Zerohash. Woodford suggested Morgan Stanley and SoFi may announce collaborations soon. However, he declined to provide specific details. Meanwhile, the startup continues to develop additional products for financial clients.
Zerohash benefits from a favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies in the U.S. As a result, major financial firms now show increased confidence in digital assets. Furthermore, this shift encourages banks and fintech firms to integrate blockchain-based services. For example, some firms plan to expand crypto trading and tokenization options. Additionally, Zerohash is positioned to support these efforts efficiently.
Funds managed by Apollo also participated in the funding round. In addition, strategic investors who are clients of Zerohash joined, enhancing the company’s credibility. Woodford emphasized that the funding will accelerate adoption among a diverse range of customers. Furthermore, the new investment allows Zerohash to expand its technology offerings.
Founded in 2017, Zerohash enables banks and fintech firms to offer blockchain products safely. Its platform supports crypto trading, stablecoins, and tokenization efficiently. As a result, customers can manage digital assets with confidence. Woodford said the new funds will help the startup scale across all these areas. In addition, the company plans to expand market presence nationally.
The Series D round demonstrates strong institutional interest in crypto infrastructure startups. Moreover, Zerohash’s partnerships with financial giants show confidence in its technology. Consequently, the company aims to grow adoption while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards. Additionally, the startup plans new product launches to strengthen its offerings.
Zerohash continues to expand its solutions, bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain innovation. Furthermore, investors see potential in the startup’s ability to streamline crypto services. The company plans to continue partnerships and product launches in the coming months. Thus, ZeroHash remains a key player in the U.S. crypto market.
