Zero Hash
Founded in Chicago, Zero Hash operates as a B2B embedded infrastructure provider serving brokerages, banks, fintechs, and payment platforms. The firm is backed by a venture syndicate that includes Point72 Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and NYCA. Its core proposition is a fully regulated, turnkey API layer that lets clients offer crypto trading, custody, stablecoin payments, tokenized-asset products, and crypto-backed rewards without building their own licensing or technical stack. The platform spans digital asset trading, real-time stablecoin settlement, staking, and tokenized financial products across more than 200 jurisdictions. Confirmed clients include Interactive Brokers, MoneyLion, Public, Gusto, Republic, Kalshi, and MoonPay. Zero Hash bridges traditional finance and on-chain settlement by managing the regulatory, compliance, liquidity, and custody functions behind each transaction. The firm reports over $65B in total settled volume and seven million end customers served through its B2B channels, supporting more than 100 digital assets with 99.99% uptime. The company maintains its Chicago headquarters with a remote-first operating model. It is not a family office or asset manager; it is a venture-backed technology firm whose investors include Point72 Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and NYCA. Zero Hash operates under a multi-state money transmitter licensing framework and has built an integrated compliance engine that handles sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and identity verification for its institutional clients. Recent momentum includes public partnerships with Interactive Brokers and Public that expanded integrated crypto trading (per the firm, 2025). The structural differentiator is a pure embedded-finance model: Zero Hash never faces the end customer. Every trade, payment rail, and reward program runs under each client's brand, while Zero Hash holds the regulatory perimeter, custody architecture, and settlement stack. This allows a brokerage or neobank to add stablecoin payouts or crypto trading with API calls rather than a multi-year licensing project, making the firm a piece of shared infrastructure across a competitive landscape.

Frequently asked questions
Who are Zero Hash's primary institutional clients?
Publicly confirmed clients include Interactive Brokers, MoneyLion, Public, Gusto, Republic, Kalshi, MoonPay, Transak, Wirex, Deserve, and tastyworks. The firm serves brokerages, banks, fintechs, payment providers, marketplaces, and gaming platforms. Each client integrates Zero Hash's APIs to offer digital asset trading, stablecoin payments, or tokenized products under its own brand.
How does Zero Hash handle the regulatory side for its clients?
Zero Hash operates a multi-state money transmitter licensing framework and embeds compliance directly into its infrastructure. That includes sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and identity verification. Clients avoid the need to obtain their own digital-asset licenses; Zero Hash owns the regulatory perimeter while the client owns the customer relationship.
Is Zero Hash a crypto exchange or a custody provider?
Zero Hash is neither an exchange nor a retail-facing custody provider. It is a B2B embedded infrastructure platform. It supplies the back-end regulatory, custody, liquidity, and settlement functions that allow client platforms — brokerages, neobanks, fintechs — to offer crypto trading, staking, and stablecoin services to their own end users.
What investment stages or asset classes does Zero Hash target?
Zero Hash is not an investment firm; it does not deploy capital into companies or asset classes. It provides the technological and regulatory rails for digital-asset products. The company is venture-backed, with investors including Point72 Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and NYCA, and has raised capital to scale its infrastructure rather than to invest in external assets.
Does Zero Hash itself hold or trade the crypto assets it settles?
Zero Hash acts as the regulated settlement intermediary, not a proprietary trading desk. It provides custody infrastructure and liquidity execution for client transactions, holding assets in custody for the client's end users, but it does not run directional trading strategies or maintain a proprietary book.
