CEO & Co-Founder of
HIFI (2022)
About

Zach Walsh is Co-Founder and CEO of HIFI (formerly HIFI Bridge), a next-generation stablecoin payments and tokenized capital markets infrastructure platform headquartered in New York City.

Before founding

Zach earned a B.A. in Economics (Cum Laude) from The City University of New York, then built his career across Sony Music, Uber, Quadpay (a Zip company), and Quidd, where he held product and growth leadership roles.

Founder Insights

Inspired by the fragmented state of global payments, Zach co-founded HIFI after recognizing that the infrastructure needed to move money seamlessly across stablecoin and traditional banking rails simply did not exist.

Experience

HIFI raised a $37M Series A in September 2026 led by Left Lane Capital, with Tether and Antler among participating investors, marking the company's first priced equity financing round.

Scale & Impact

HIFI processes approximately $7B in annualized volume across 87 countries, serves 10,000+ businesses and 200,000 end users, and was selected to participate in DTCC's landmark July 2026 tokenized production trades alongside BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Nasdaq.
