With 24/7 payment rails, real-time settlement, and enhanced liquidity management, we’re not just modernizing wholesale payments, we’re building a future that fuses Decentralized Finance’s operational optimization with Traditional Finance’s capital efficiency.

Citi joins existing backers to support the white-label ETF platform as assets under management reach record highs.
"Citi’s investment is a landmark moment for HANetf. It demonstrates the strength of our expertise, the growth of ETF white-labelling, and in HANetf’s importance within the European ETF ecosystem. We’ve always believed that ETF white labelling would become a core part of the asset management and servicing ecosystem as it has done so before within the broader funds industry. We’re proud to add Citi to our cap table alongside other high-quality institutional investors such as Point72, Elkstone, and ThirdStream, who have been investors in HANetf since 2017. We are already reinvesting the profits from our growth and this investment will allow us to exponentially grow the capabilities of our own platform sooner, in order to build out HANetf’s capacity as more clients continue to choose HANetf to launch ETFs ahead other ETF launch options."
UBS led the funding round to support the development of the Icon Payments Framework.
"This investment reinforces our partnership with Icon and confirms our commitment to deliver faster to market, future-ready payment solutions for our clients.
