Kira, a global payment infrastructure platform, raised $6.7M in a seed round led by Blockchange Ventures, with participation from Stellar Development Foundation, Vamos Ventures, Grit Ventures, Michael Seibel, and Oso Trava. The investment follows Kira’s pre-seed round in July 2025.
Founded in 2024 by Edrizio De La Cruz, Alberto Díaz, and Camilo Jiménez, Kira builds financial infrastructure that combines stablecoins, AI-powered compliance, and plug-and-play APIs. The platform allows any company to launch global fintech products such as international payments, payroll, or USD digital accounts without blockchain expertise or lengthy regulatory processes.
The funding will support Kira’s expansion in Latin America, beginning with Colombia, where it is implementing automated compliance processes tailored to local regulations. Kira will also grow its technical teams in Mexico, Colombia, and Miami, and develop new products, including yield-bearing business accounts and international credit services.
“This round will allow us to accelerate the construction of the infrastructure Latin America needs to compete in the global digital economy. Our vision is that a company in Mexico City, Bogotá, or Lima can move money as easily and quickly as in New York or London,” said Edrizio De La Cruz, CEO and co-founder of Kira.
Kira has generated $3M in revenue and plans to expand into five Latin American countries within the next 18 months. Its strategy includes strengthening partnerships with regional banks and payment processors to scale its reach.
