Limited, the first self-custody stablecoin banking platform offering premium financial services worldwide, announced a $7 million Seed funding round led by North Island Ventures.
Existing investors Third Prime and Arche Capital participated again, joined by new backers Collab+Currency and SevenX Ventures. This latest round brings Limited’s total funding to $10 million since its launch in 2024.
Funding and Growth Plans
The fresh investment will support Limited as it expands its operations and accelerates product development. With stablecoin transaction volumes surpassing $30 trillion each year and global remittance fees averaging over 6%, the company is tackling a major problem.
Limited founder and CEO Hussein Ahmed explained that his team has built a platform that marries the security of self-custody stablecoins with the ease of use and benefits of traditional banking.
Ahmed noted that this new capital will help Limited grow in high-demand markets such as Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. These regions have seen a strong appetite for cross-border financial services.
He added that having experienced investors from both the fintech and crypto worlds will give Limited the guidance it needs to reshape banking on a global scale.
Investor Support and Vision
Travis Scher, co-founder and managing partner at North Island Ventures, praised Limited’s approach. He said that stablecoins are a powerful use case for blockchain, providing access to reliable currencies and fast payment networks around the world.
Scher believes Limited’s solution makes stablecoins practical for everyday banking and commerce, not just trading. By solving the challenge of balancing security with user friendliness, Limited stands out in a crowded field.

Third Prime, which led Limited’s pre-seed round, reiterated its confidence in the startup. Wes Barton, co-founder and general partner at Third Prime, said Limited has delivered on its vision by creating a platform that bridges the gap between traditional finance and crypto.
Barton highlighted the team’s ability to navigate complex regulations and technical hurdles while keeping the user experience smooth.
Stephen McKeon, managing partner at Collab+Currency, shared that the firm backs consumer applications that can drive mass adoption.
He said Limited addresses a core tension that has held back mainstream crypto use. By giving people security controls they rarely see in platforms today, Limited promises to expand financial services to users across the globe.
SevenX Ventures, deeply familiar with Asian markets, also sees a strong opportunity in the region. Jon Liu, founding partner at SevenX Ventures, pointed to the demand for better cross-border payment solutions in APAC.
He said that Limited’s polished and comprehensive platform resonates with both crypto-savvy users and those from traditional finance backgrounds.
Platform Features and Offerings
Limited’s platform offers U.S. and EU bank accounts that convert automatically into self-custodial stablecoins. Customers gain access to tiered Visa and Mastercard programs with premium benefits, similar to what they would expect from a top bank.
The system also supports cross-border payments using over 300 local payment methods in more than 80 currencies. All transactions happen in a user’s own self-custody wallet, ensuring complete control of funds without sacrificing convenience.
Limited has resolved the persistent trade-off between self-custody security and usability by fusing enterprise-grade security with an intuitive UI.
