Kira, a global payments infrastructure platform specialising in embedded financial solutions powered by AI and stablecoins, has secured $6.7 million in seed funding.
The round drew backing from Blockchange Ventures, Vamos Ventures, Stellar Blockchain, Grit Ventures, Credibly Neutral Ventures, Michael Seibel, and Oso Trava.
Kira’s platform provides enterprises and startups with the tools to rapidly launch and scale FinTech products, particularly in emerging markets. Its technology integrates AI-driven payments, treasury automation, compliance workflows, and cross-border payouts, enabling seamless delivery of modern financial services.
The fresh capital will accelerate Kira’s expansion in Latin America, with an initial focus on South America. The company plans to grow its technical team, roll out new products, and establish strategic partnerships with regional banks and payment processors to expand its market reach.
Founded by Edrizio De La Cruz, José Alberto “Beto” Díaz, and Camilo Jiménez, Kira has been operating in stealth for more than a year while building its payments infrastructure. Its platform combines stablecoins, AI, and enterprise APIs to simplify the launch of compliant, scalable FinTech solutions for remittances, savings, payroll, and other financial services.
Rob Schmults, general partner at Blockchange Ventures, said: “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 brings an ideal combination of experience, expertise, and connections to actually make it happen.”
