Kira, an innovative fintech infrastructure platform, has announced the closing of a $6.7 million seed funding round, led by Blockchange Ventures, Vamos Ventures, Stellar Blockchain, Grit Ventures, Credibly Neutral Ventures, Michael Seibel, and Oso Trava.

The company’s unique approach leverages blockchain technology — particularly Stellar’s fast, low-cost network — to eliminate technical friction and foster compliant, scalable financial solutions.
The involvement of influential investors, such as the Stellar Development Foundation and Oso Trava, underscores confidence in Kira’s mission to deliver modern financial tools to the underbanked. As Kira accelerates the rollout of its next-generation platform, this funding will drive technical innovation and increase its impact, positioning Kira as a catalyst for digital transformation in Latin America’s rapidly evolving fintech ecosystem.
