May 1, 2025: As global demand for compliant digital asset infrastructure rises, Fuze is positioning itself to become the backbone for traditional institutions entering the crypto economy. It’s growth vision got a big boost with the closing of $12.2 Million funding.
In a world where digital currencies are no longer fringe but fast becoming foundational to the future of finance, Fuze’s mission is simple yet bold: enable banks, fintechs, and traditional enterprises to integrate regulated digital assets into their core operations—with ease, compliance, and scalability.
Founded in 2023 by Arpit Mehta, Srijan R Shetty, and Mo Ali Yusuf, Fuze is tackling one of the most critical challenges in the digital assets space: infrastructure. Its platform, which offers digital-assets-as-a-service, allows institutions to securely offer crypto, stablecoin, and payment services to their customers within regulatory boundaries.
Fuze to Expand Regulated Digital Asset Services
Fuze has already built momentum across MENA and Turkey, but its ambition goes far beyond. The startup is now eyeing India, a market that presents both massive opportunity and regulatory complexity. Fuze is actively engaging with Indian policymakers and regulators, signalling a strategic, compliance-first approach to entering one of the world’s most rapidly digitising economies.
In addition to expansion, the new funds will also support product innovation, compliance scaling, and hiring top-tier global talent, helping the company stay ahead of shifting digital asset regulations and user expectations.
Backing this growth story is a $12.2 million Series A round, led by Galaxy, a global leader in digital asset and blockchain investment, and UAE-based telecom and tech giant e&.
The involvement of these investors not only brings capital but strategic leverage—Galaxy’s deep industry expertise combined with e&’s extensive regional network will likely accelerate Fuze’s roadmap across emerging and regulated markets alike.
As Leon Marshall, CEO of Galaxy Europe, put it:
“The region is poised to become a major hub for innovation, with the UAE demonstrating a willingness to develop comprehensive regulatory frameworks. Fuze is rapidly building the rails needed to drive that shift.”
