About us:
Velocity is revolutionising the global financial landscape by unifying fiat and digital assets through regulated stablecoin technology. We are tackling some of the most significant inefficiencies in global payments - from the limitations of SWIFT to the cost and delays of cross-border transactions.
Founded by seasoned operators Tom Greenwood and Eric Queathem, with decades of experience founding, scaling, and leading payments businesses, Velocity combines deep expertise in regulated financial systems with a fast-growing team of around 15 people across London and Warsaw.
Our platform enables businesses to manage payments, treasury functions, and liquidity in real time, operating 24/7/365. We remove friction in global payouts, cross-border settlements, and treasury operations - seamlessly integrating stablecoin-powered speed with the reliability of traditional finance.
Backed by robust partnerships, including strategic collaborations with Fireblocks and other leading technology providers, we are building trusted infrastructure for scalable global growth.
In May 2025, we announced a $10m pre-seed round led by Activant Capital, with participation from Fuel Ventures, Triton Capital, Fabric Ventures, Commerce Ventures, Digital Space Ventures, and Preface Ventures - alongside strategic shareholders from Stripe, Worldpay, Visa, Circle, PayPal, and Google.
