What Provenance Technologies does

Provenance Technologies, Inc. operates the Fiant brand, a regulated financial infrastructure platform purpose-built for digital economies. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company delivers a secure plug-in that enables businesses — including gaming platforms, social networking apps, and virtual reality environments — to facilitate fiat and cryptocurrency transactions, store digital assets, and conduct NFT transactions on behalf of digital creators, gamers, and entrepreneurs. The underlying technology combines fiat/crypto transaction rails, digital asset custody, NFT transaction support, and an integrated compliance engine designed to minimize fraud and money laundering risk.

The company holds a New York BitLicense and money transmitter licenses across the U.S. and Canada, making it among the first financial institutions purpose-built for new economies with full regulatory clearance in its operating jurisdictions. It also operates a direct-to-consumer crypto on/off-ramp at ramp.fiant.io, extending its monetization surface beyond B2B integrations. Named clients visible on its website include RoughHouse, N3twork, Fynbox, Hypermarket, Kudos, and Forte. Founded and led by Scott F. Butler (Founder, CEO, and Chief Compliance Officer), the company remains privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or revenue, and reports 11-50 employees.

Its business model is B2B platform infrastructure, monetizing transaction volume processed through the plug-in for client platforms; pricing is sales-led and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is anchored on regulatory credibility and compliance-native design as the core differentiator versus unregulated crypto payment processors. The company claims global connectivity via partnerships with financial institutions worldwide, though its licensed footprint is currently limited to the U.S. and Canada.

Broad incumbents

• Circle: Circle issues USDC and operates regulated digital asset infrastructure including fiat on/off-ramps. It is a broader incumbent that competes with Fiant on regulated fiat-crypto conversion and digital asset infrastructure for platform partners.
• Fireblocks: Fireblocks provides institutional digital asset custody, transfer, and settlement infrastructure. While broader in scope than Fiant, it overlaps on the secure digital asset storage and institutional compliance functionality that Fiant bundles for gaming and creator platforms.
• Stripe (with crypto): Stripe's crypto and Web3 initiatives (including stablecoin payouts and on-ramp partnerships) put it in adjacent competition with Fiant for fiat-crypto infrastructure serving platforms. It is a much larger incumbent with broader merchant rails.

Direct peers

• Ramp Network: Ramp Network provides a non-custodial fiat-to-crypto on-ramp for businesses and Web3 applications, including NFT and gaming integrations. It is a direct peer to Fiant's on-ramp and embedded payment infrastructure for digital economy platforms.
• MoonPay: MoonPay provides fiat-to-crypto on-ramp infrastructure for businesses and consumers, including NFT marketplace integrations. It competes directly with Fiant's ramp.fiant.io consumer ramp and embedded B2B on-ramp offerings.
• Transak: Transak is a global crypto on/off-ramp and KYC infrastructure provider embedded in wallets, dApps, and NFT platforms. It is a direct peer to Fiant in providing compliant fiat-to-crypto rails to digital economy platforms.
• BitPay: BitPay is one of the largest crypto payment processors for merchants, enabling businesses to accept and settle in both crypto and fiat. It competes directly with Fiant on fiat/crypto transaction infrastructure for digital and traditional businesses.
• Coinbase Commerce: Coinbase Commerce provides crypto payment infrastructure for online merchants and platforms, including NFT and Web3 integrations. It is a direct competitor to Fiant's plug-in for fiat/crypto transactions targeting digital creators and gaming platforms.
• Triple-A: Triple-A is a licensed crypto payment gateway that enables businesses to accept and settle in crypto with fiat conversion, holding regulatory licenses. It is a direct peer to Fiant in regulated crypto payments infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Forte: Forte provides Web3 gaming infrastructure including wallet, token, and compliance tooling for game publishers. It appears on Fiant's customer roster but is also an adjacent infrastructure player whose own payments and compliance capabilities could eventually overlap with Fiant's offering.
