Proud to announce that Arf has been featured in the 11th edition of the CV VC Crypto Valley Top 50 & Ecosystem Report. Out of over 1,700 active blockchain entities in Switzerland, Arf has been recognized as one of the Top 25 Private Valuation Leaders.
As a Swiss-regulated global liquidity and settlement platform we’re the main builder of PayFi. By providing blockchain-based working capital credit lines to licensed financial institutions, we are addressing a critical $4 trillion liquidity gap in global cross-border payments.
Also features an article by @alierhat, titled "The $4 Trillion Gap: A New Asset Class For Institutional Capital”. Ali explores how the cross-border payments industry moves $156 trillion per year, yet an estimated $4 trillion in working capital remains frozen in prefunded accounts at any given moment and how address this inefficiency through short-term fixed and on-demand credit lines, creating a new short-duration, receivables-backed asset class for institutional capital.

Davos takeaway: the shift in payments isn’t theoretical anymore.When liquidity, execution, and compliance are embedded inside the transaction, payments can fund, execute, and settle autonomously. That’s PayFi. Thanks to @adeeb_ahamed, @rajachak75, and @elbruzyilmaz and @CV_Labs
“Global payments are being rebuilt around real-time liquidity, agentic execution, and embedded compliance. When these capabilities are natively integrated into the transaction, payments can fund, execute, and settle autonomously. This model is live today through PayFi.”
Today, @alierhat spoke at Davos on the panel we hosted, “The PayFi Shift: Agentic Payments, Compliance & Liquidity,” alongside @adeeb_ahamed (LuLu Financial Holdings) and @rajachak75 (@StellarOrg), with @elbruzyilmaz (Outrun) as moderator.
The discussion focused on how global payments are moving beyond pilots and proofs of concept, with programmable liquidity, embedded compliance, and on-chain settlement already operating inside live payment networks through PayFi—a finance and execution layer co-developed by Arf and its partners.

Yesterday at #CVSummit 2025, the panel “The New Rails: Stablecoins Leading the Next Era of Transactions & PayFi” brought together perspectives from across the stablecoin ecosystem.
The discussion highlighted how stablecoins processed $27.6T in 2024, moving tens of billions daily with over 25M monthly active users. The conversation covered:
- Existing and emerging use cases for stablecoins in payments, liquidity and infrastructure
- The dominance of USD in stablecoin volumes (99%) and what it means for global finance
- Whether this shift represents an evolution or a revolution in payments
Arf has been featured in the Stablecoin Payments From the Ground Up report by @artemis, @CastleIslandVC, and @dragonfly_xyz - a comprehensive look at how stablecoins are being used in real-world financial systems. https://t.co/AxkdMX6WlY
We’ve enabled $4.5B+ in stablecoin-based liquidity for licensed financial institutions — including PSPs, B2B payment providers, OTC desks, and remittance companies — helping eliminate prefunding and enabling same-day settlements in global payments.
Thanks to the Artemis team for the recognition and to our partner @humafinance for powering the PayFi behind it.
