Citi Ventures Invests in BVNK as Wall Street Accelerates Stablecoin Adoption
Citi Ventures invests in BVNK, signaling Wall Street’s accelerating embrace of global stablecoins.
BVNK processes $20B annually, powering instant low-cost cross-border stablecoin payments worldwide.
Citi forecasts stablecoin market reaching $4 trillion by 2030, showing rising institutional confidence.
The rise of stablecoins has been one of the strongest signals that traditional finance and blockchain technology are no longer moving on separate tracks. On 9th Oct 2025, Citi Ventures announced a strategic investment in BVNK, a London-based company that builds global stablecoin infrastructure.
Here’s why Citi Ventures invested in a stablecoin infrastructure platform.
Why Citi Invested In BVNK?
For years, banks were cautious about stablecoins, seeing them as risky and unregulated. But things are changing fast. Citi’s recent move shows that Wall Street is starting to embrace stablecoins as a key part of the future financial system.
BVNK is leading this change.
The company processes over $20 billion a year, working with big names like Worldpay, Flywire, and dLocal. Its platform allows instant, low-cost, 24/7 cross-border payments, fixing many problems of traditional transfers.
By supporting regulated stablecoins like USDC, USDT, and GUSD, BVNK offers businesses a safe and compliant way to move money globally, bridging the gap between banks and digital finance.
Why Citi Is Diving Into Stablecoins Now?
Citi’s investment comes at the perfect time. New U.S. laws, like the GENIUS Act, now allow big banks to issue or work with stablecoins. With this legal clarity, major financial players are moving fast to secure their spot in a market that could reach $4 trillion by 2030.
The new rules have opened the door for large-scale adoption. Citi CEO Jane Fraser has already shared plans to launch a Citi-backed stablecoin, aiming to lead this shift.
With stablecoin settlement volumes expected to reach nearly $10 trillion next year, Citi’s move shows how serious Wall Street is about taking charge in this rapidly growing market.
Global Banks Race to Embrace Stablecoins
Citi joins top BVNK investors like Visa, Haun Ventures, Tiger Global, and Coinbase. This shows how both Wall Street and fintech giants now see stablecoins as a key part of global payments.
As more banks enter the space, competition is rising. The U.S. is moving fast, while the UK and others race to keep up.
If this growth continues, stablecoins could soon make money transfers faster, cheaper, and easier worldwide.
