Berlin-based LI.FI has closed a $29 million Series A extension round led by Multicoin and CoinFund, bringing its total funding to $51.7 million. The company has hit impressive milestones, surpassing $60 billion in lifetime transaction volume while growing its team to over 100 employees worldwide.
So what exactly does LI.FI do? Imagine trying to move money between different banks, each speaking a different language and using different systems. That's essentially the problem in crypto today, where hundreds of separate blockchains exist. LI.FI acts as a universal translator and connector, allowing developers to build apps that seamlessly swap tokens and move assets across different blockchain networks without getting bogged down in technical complexity.
According to the company's press release, LI.FI's growth has been explosive. Monthly transaction volume jumped 595% from $1.15 billion in October 2024 to $8 billion in October 2025. The protocol now serves nearly 1,000 business partners, including household names like Robinhood, Binance, Kraken, MetaMask, Phantom, Ledger, and even Alipay.
The fresh capital will fund further expansion and product development, including infrastructure for AI agents and stablecoins. LI.FI also plans to launch an open intent and solver marketplace in Q1 2026, which will broaden access to third-party liquidity.
"This growth allows LI.FI to continue laying the foundation for the next generation of crypto applications," said Philipp Zentner, Co-Founder and CEO, in the press release. The goal is making blockchain composability invisible and reliable, so developers can focus on building great products instead of wrestling with infrastructure.
As crypto adoption accelerates and blockchain infrastructure continues to fragment, LI.FI's unified approach is positioning the Berlin company as essential infrastructure for the next wave of Web3 applications.
