Hercle announced today that it has secured $60 million in new funding to expand its institutional-grade platform that bridges traditional finance with digital assets and stablecoins. The raise includes $10 million in equity financing led by F-Prime Capital, along with a $50 million credit facility to support global expansion. Additional participation came from Fulgur Ventures, Exponential Science, and select angel investors.

Founded by CEO Gabriele Sabbatini, CFO Arturo Schembri, and CTO Marco Levarato, Hercle provides end-to-end infrastructure for brokerages, banks, payment providers, and global businesses to enable seamless trading, faster settlements, and frictionless cross-border money movement. The company leverages stablecoin technology—cryptocurrencies pegged to stable assets like the U.S. dollar—to facilitate near-instant transactions that bypass the delays and costs of traditional systems.

Since its launch, Hercle has processed over $20 billion in transactions, serving more than 200 institutional clients worldwide, with 90% of flows settling in under five minutes. The platform targets two key areas: remittances and payments for payment service providers (PSPs), and trade finance for businesses conducting cross-border deals. For instance, it enables a Swiss company purchasing commodities from Brazil to achieve instant settlement via blockchain, even for large-scale transactions.
