Fasset Hits $1B Valuation as SBI Group Leads $68M Series C to Scale AI-Powered Stablecoin Neobanking
The stablecoin neobank said the new capital will expand its payment network and AI routing systems across emerging markets.
On Monday, Fasset, a stablecoin neobank, raised $68 million in a Series C funding round led by Japan's SBI Group, reaching a $1 billion private valuation.
This financing follows Fasset's $51 million Series B round in May, bringing total 2026 funding to $119 million as the company expands stablecoin services across emerging markets.
CEO Mohammad Raafi Hossain reported that revenue has grown approximately sixfold year-over-year, with the company remaining profitable for 12 consecutive months while operating Own Network.
Fasset plans to develop artificial intelligence routing systems and expand Own Network across more than 100 banking corridors, leveraging access to roughly 470,000 remittance locations globally.
Together with SBI Group, Fasset intends to connect additional financial corridors across Japan and Asia, though stablecoin providers face competition from banks and card networks seeking to reduce remittance costs.
