PFI Completes $4 Million Strategic Investment Boosting Valuation to $100 Million

PFI, a global cross-border payments and settlement network platform, has completed a US$4 million strategic investment, bringing its post-money valuation to US$100 million. This move marks a significant step in the company’s expansion and underscores its commitment to building a robust global payments infrastructure.

The investment was secured through a partnership with Alpha Capital and BD Ventures, who together have acquired a combined 4% equity stake in PFI. According to the press release, the first-round investment will provide additional capital support for PFI’s next phase of global market expansion and strengthen its relationships with international investment and ecosystem partners.

Alpha Capital, known for its focus on investments, project incubation, and global ecosystem resource integration across Web3 and emerging technology sectors, and BD Ventures, which brings an extensive global network spanning communities, market promotion, KOLs, and media resources, will collaborate closely with PFI. This partnership aims to leverage the combined expertise and resources of the three parties to support the continued expansion of PFI’s international business footprint.

PFI’s strategy centers on building a cross-border payments and settlement network designed for global markets. The company connects payment channels with local fiat access, foreign exchange, liquidity, clearing, and multi-party settlement infrastructure. By integrating payment and liquidity resources across different markets, PFI aims to shorten cross-border fund-flow pathways and improve coordination across payments, clearing, and settlement.

The press release also mentions that PFI is planning a second-phase strategic investment of US$10 million. This will be part of a broader cooperation plan that will gradually introduce additional international capital and ecosystem resources to further strengthen PFI’s global liquidity foundation and international market expansion capabilities.

In the long term, PFI’s development strategy extends beyond a single payment service. The company plans to continue expanding around the global payments ecosystem, covering areas such as cross-border liquidity, global clearing and settlement, stablecoin aggregation, integrated payment applications, and institutional-grade market services. By continuously connecting different countries, currencies, markets, and financial participants, PFI aims to establish a more comprehensive global payment connectivity infrastructure and provide more efficient foundational support for cross-border transactions by enterprises and institutions.

The completion of this strategic investment represents an important milestone in PFI’s global development journey. With Alpha Capital and BD Ventures officially becoming strategic investors, the three parties are expected to deepen cooperation across capital, market resources, global ecosystems, and business development. PFI will continue to place payments at the center of its strategy while strengthening global liquidity connectivity and cross-border clearing capabilities, and continuing to expand payment networks across international markets.

This strategic move positions PFI to play a significant role in the evolving global payments landscape, connecting communities and businesses across borders and enhancing the efficiency of cross-border transactions.
