Bastion Raises $14.6M Led by Coinbase Ventures for Stablecoin Tech

Bastion Raises $14.6M Led by Coinbase Ventures to Meet Growing Demand for Regulated Stablecoin Infrastructure

  • Bastion raised $14.6 million in a new funding round led by Coinbase Ventures.
  • Investors include Sony, Samsung’s investment subsidiary, Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto arm, and Hashed.
  • Bastion allows companies to issue stablecoins without needing their own licenses or infrastructure.
  • The latest funding follows a recent $25 million round led by Andreessen Horowitz.
  • Strong corporate demand for regulated stablecoin solutions is driving investment in Bastion and similar platforms.

Bastion, a platform focused on stablecoin infrastructure, announced on Wednesday that it secured $14.6 million in funding. Coinbase Ventures led the investment round, which also included participation from technology companies such as Sony and the investment arm of Samsung, as well as venture capital firms Andreessen Horowitz and Hashed.

The company’s platform helps other businesses issue stablecoins—digital currencies tied to traditional assets like the U.S. dollar—without requiring them to obtain their own licenses or build complicated systems.

According to Bastion’s recent announcement, this funding round arrives shortly after Bastion closed a $25 million raise led by Andreessen Horowitz. The company noted it had spent months in “stealth mode” prior to announcing these investments.

Beyond stablecoin creation, Bastion provides businesses with access to Web3 technology—tools that let organizations upgrade regular internet services with blockchain features. These include custodial wallets for safely holding digital assets, systems that guide transactions efficiently, and analytics tools. In a recent statement on X (formerly Twitter), Bastion said its services help clients build “Web3 products with the cost-efficiency, compliance, and security they expect from a Web2 technology stack.” The company added, “organizations of any size can now seamlessly integrate Web3 infrastructure into existing technologies through a compliant, white-label platform and API that includes custodial wallets, smart transaction routing, and data analytics.”

Bastion’s CEO, Nassim Eddequiouaq, said demand for regulated stablecoin infrastructure is high among global enterprises. He stated, “The evolution of our financial system will continue to accelerate as digital assets and stablecoin adoption proliferates, and Bastion is positioned to help businesses build world-changing financial products.”

The announcement highlights recent corporate momentum in the stablecoin sector. For example, earlier this week, Bullish Europe introduced a stablecoin supported by Société Générale. Other international projects include a new stablecoin pilot by Kazakhstan‘s central bank with support from Solana and Mastercard, as well as Paypal expanding its own stablecoin offering to additional blockchains.

Bastion has not provided additional comments as of publication.
