LI.FI Protocol, a Berlin-based toolkit that helps developers embed on-chain swaps and cross-chain bridging into digital asset applications, has closed a $29 million Series A extension to accelerate product development and scale operations as demand rises for unified liquidity across a fragmented crypto landscape.
The round was led by Multicoin and CoinFund, bringing LI.FI’s total capital raised to $51.7 million. The company said it now has more than 100 employees globally and is continuing to add headcount to support customers across digital assets and integrated finance. LI.FI also said its protocol has surpassed $60 billion in lifetime transaction volume and is approaching 1,000 B2B partners.
LI.FI positions itself as an infrastructure layer that abstracts away the complexity of navigating multiple blockchains, token standards, liquidity venues, and bridging solutions. By offering a single integration point, LI.FI aims to let fintech apps and wallets provide multi-chain trading and asset movement without building and maintaining bespoke routing, bridge selection, and execution logic in-house.
The company said usage has scaled sharply over the past year, citing monthly volume growth of 595% from $1.15 billion in October 2024 to $8 billion in October 2025. LI.FI also said its customer base includes major consumer and institutional platforms such as Robinhood, Binance, Kraken, MetaMask, Phantom, Ledger, Hyperliquid, Circle, and Alipay, among others.
With the new funding, LI.FI said it plans to broaden its infrastructure roadmap, including building capabilities designed for AI agents and stablecoins. The company also said it plans to launch an open intent and solver marketplace in the first quarter of 2026, an initiative intended to expand access to third-party liquidity and improve routing and execution outcomes across chains.
LI.FI’s leadership framed the raise as validation of its strategy to make cross-chain composability reliable and effectively invisible to both developers and end users, allowing applications to offer seamless on-chain functionality while users maintain control of their assets through a non-custodial model.
KEY QUOTES:
“Over the past year, we’ve significantly expanded our product suite to strengthen our position in the market and provide a more seamless experience for both B2B partners and their users. This growth allows LI.FI to continue laying the foundation for the next generation of crypto applications, enabling developers and companies to access liquidity across all blockchain ecosystems in ways that were previously overly complex or inaccessible. The increased funding showcases investor confidence in LI.FI’s growth and vision as our goal remains to make composability invisible and reliable, enabling the entire industry to build on it confidently.”
Philipp Zentner, Co-Founder & CEO of LI.FI
“As crypto trading becomes a core feature inside mainstream fintech apps, the hardest problem is no longer user demand – it’s making fragmented blockchains, liquidity, and execution work seamlessly together,” said Spencer Applebaum, Investment Partner at Multicoin Capital. “LI.FI Protocol gives fintechs and web3 wallets a single API to offer both trading and cross-chain asset movement, handling on-chain routing and execution behind the scenes. By hiding that complexity from both developers and end users, they make it far easier for financial apps to launch truly multi-chain crypto products at scale. This investment reflects our continued conviction in Philipp and his team as long-term category builders in the DeFi space.”

“Crypto adoption is rapidly increasing just as the blockchain infrastructure underneath fragments and proliferates into multiple L1s, L2s, and protocols. LI.FI is a universal layer that solves this fragmentation problem, allowing for true global cross-chain liquidity and asset interoperability,” said David Pakman, Managing Partner and Head of Venture Investments at CoinFund. “Founders like Philipp see fragmentation as an opportunity to build solutions that give developers access to infrastructure without having to choose between networks. This investment reflects our continued conviction in LI.Fi, Philipp, and his extraordinary team, and we believe they are well equipped to dominate the market for cross-chain products.”
