Fasset hits $1 billion valuation after $68 million Series C

Fasset, the AI-powered stablecoin neobanking platform, today announced it has raised $68 million in Series C funding at a $1 billion valuation. The financing was led by SBI Group and follows Fasset’s $51 million Series B earlier this year, which brought Speedinvest onto the cap table alongside a group of strategic investors.

The new capital will support the expansion of Own Network, Fasset’s regulated financial network that connects banks, telcos, payment and liquidity providers to enable settlement across international markets. Fasset will also increase investment in agentic AI-enabled systems supporting corridor banking, stablecoin settlement and tokenised asset infrastructure.

After raising Series B in May, Fasset has now raised a total of $119 million in 2026. The financing marks Fasset’s entry into the global fintech unicorn category.

“Fasset’s vision of a world in which money moves across borders as easily as information does points in the same direction as the on-chain economic zone that the SBI Group seeks to realise through digital finance. Fasset has already built a strong business foundation and a robust regulatory framework in a number of emerging markets with significant long-term growth potential. It was therefore in the conviction that Fasset can serve as an important financial bridge connecting Japan with high-growth markets around the world that we decided to lead this round. Within the SBI Group’s “SBI APAC Digital Economic Zone” concept as well, an international remittance and settlement infrastructure built on stablecoins is a core component. Together with Fasset, we will advance the development of the next generation of on-chain financial systems, extending from the Asia-Pacific region to the Middle East and Africa.” said Yoshitaka Kitao, Representative Director, Chairman, President & CEO, SBI Holdings, Inc.

The investment expands Fasset’s relationship with SBI Group, one of Japan’s leading comprehensive financial groups, spanning banking, securities, asset management, and private equity, with investments in companies including Ripple, Circle, and Morpho and in group companies including B2C2.

“The next phase is about any-to-any banking. Any person to any person. Any asset to any asset. Any rail to any rail, anywhere. We built Fasset to address a simple problem: access to financial opportunity still depends too heavily on where someone lives and the financial system available to them,” said Mohammad Raafi Hossain, Co-Founder and CEO of Fasset. “The banking system is broken. It’s not enough to build another financial front on current rails. We are investing deeper into the stack, from licences in emerging markets to enabling agentic payments, to rebuild the way we do banking from the ground up.”

“Having SBI Group lead this round speeds up our ability to serve the world by having access to the wider SBI financial ecosystem and their partners, including our previously announced partnership with SBI Remit, enabling us to leverage an extensive network that supports bank account remittances to approximately 200 countries.”

“Fasset is building the regulated infrastructure that helps people and businesses in growth markets access stablecoins, global assets and cross-border rails. That access is still too often shaped by geography. Raafi, Daniel and the team are changing that, and we are proud to have continued backing Fasset as it scales globally,” said Stefan Klestil, General Partner at Speedinvest.

Building a Financial System Around Ownership

Fasset provides financial access that allows customers to receive, hold, move, spend and invest across currencies, markets and asset classes.

Underpinning those products is Own Network, Fasset’s financial infrastructure connecting local banking systems, payment providers, financial institutions, telcos, liquidity providers, custody partners and settlement networks across more than 100 banking corridors.

Stablecoins are used within parts of the network as settlement infrastructure, allowing value to move between markets more efficiently where appropriate. Customers interact with Fasset through financial products and accounts rather than needing to manage the underlying settlement infrastructure themselves.

The company uses AI to improve how transactions are routed across payment rails, currencies, liquidity providers, and settlement methods, based on factors including cost, speed, and availability.

Fasset is built around a simple conviction: where someone is born should not determine the quality of money they can hold, the markets they can access or the assets they can own. The company is not building another interface on top of the existing financial system. It is building the infrastructure intended to replace it.

Scaling Global Infrastructure: $40B Annualized Volume

Fasset now processes more than $40 billion in annualised transaction volume, serving more than 3 million wallets across 125 countries and over 1,000 enterprises globally.

Its consumer, business and institutional products are supported by a regulatory footprint across the GCC, Asia, Europe and other international markets.

The Series C will support Fasset’s continued development as a global, AI-powered stablecoin neobanking platform, combining regulated local infrastructure, modern settlement technology and access to global assets through a single financial account.
