What Seed Futures LLC does

Seed Futures LLC, doing business as zerohash, is a digital asset infrastructure platform that provides regulated APIs and developer tools enabling enterprises to embed crypto trading, stablecoin payments, custody, and tokenization into their products. Headquartered in Chicago and founded in 2017 (the firmographics year 2015 reflects an earlier Seed CX Ltd. entity), the company operates as a B2B infrastructure layer—its services are not visible to end users but are integrated directly into partner platforms via APIs and SDKs, reaching 7M+ end customers through enterprise clients.

The platform is organized into three product suites: Trade (buy/sell, staking, qualified custody, incentives/rewards, lending, on-chain authentication), Transact (stablecoin account funding, payins, payouts, on/off-ramps between fiat and crypto, remittances), and Tokenize (payment rails and an institutional tokenization engine for funds, securities, and deposits). Underlying capabilities include embedded compliance and transaction monitoring, smart-routed liquidity, multi-chain orchestration, configurable custody controls, and SOC 1, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and GDPR-aligned controls. zerohash holds a New York BitLicense, is FinCEN-registered as a Money Service Business operating in 51 U.S. jurisdictions, is FINTRAC-registered in Canada, and secured an EMI license under Europe's MiCA in 2025; the platform supports 100+ assets across 200 jurisdictions with a stated 99.99% uptime SLA and $65B+ in cumulative settled volume.

zerohash generates revenue primarily through transaction-based and recurring fees (transaction, custody, and settlement fees, plus API/SDK subscription or usage-based pricing) under multi-year enterprise contracts with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by an API-first developer portal; the customer base spans investment banking (Morgan Stanley), investment management (BlackRock), brokerages (Interactive Brokers, tastytrade, IG Group), payments (Stripe, WorldPay, Nuvei, Bolt), fintechs (Public, MoneyLion, Ramp), digital banking (Current, OnePay), payroll (Gusto), HR/payments for distributed workforces (Remote), prediction markets (Kalshi), gaming (DraftKings), tokenization (Securitize), and remittances (Fèlix Pago).
