Hello Fintech Friends,
Today’s newsletter is brought to you by our friends at Stablecon.
India's CRED led the week with a $900 million Series H from Meta, while global payments platform Airwallex closed out a $320 million Series H of its own. Tokenization and on-chain infrastructure plays also drew heavy interest, with Allium, Cambrian, Ground, and Libeara all landing fresh rounds aimed at bringing institutional finance further on-chain, alongside a string of smaller seed and pre-seed checks for AI underwriting and embedded insurance startups.
Elsewhere, AI-native platforms targeting banks, insurers, and wealth managers pulled in some of the week's largest checks, with Taktile's $110 million Series C and Arca's $48.5 million Series A among the standouts. European fintechs were also active, led by Alan's €480 million round and a handful of smaller raises spanning pensions tech, business-equipment financing, and creator payouts.
