Alpaca, a US-based self-clearing broker-dealer and provider of brokerage infrastructure APIs, has raised $52m in a Series C funding round.
The round attracted capital from both new and returning investors, including Derayah Financial, 850 Management, National Investments Company (NIC), Unbound, and Portage Ventures.
Alpaca provides infrastructure that enables companies to offer trading and investing capabilities through APIs. Its services support the management of over 5 million brokerage accounts for more than 200 partners in over 40 countries. The platform allows access to stocks, ETFs, options, and fixed income products, with a roadmap to introduce 24/5 trading to meet growing demand for continuous access to markets.
The latest funding will fuel Alpaca’s continued international expansion, with a particular focus on supporting enterprise institutions and FinTech firms across the US, the Middle East, and Asia. The firm aims to become the global de facto standard for investing infrastructure.
In 2024, Alpaca marked significant growth milestones, including the rollout of US options trading, instant funding support, and the launch of High-Yield Cash and IRA accounts.
Alpaca co-founder and CEO Yoshi Yokokawa said, “We have always been focused on enabling access and opportunity for everyone on the planet. This new chapter allows us to expand our efforts globally, supporting our partners and customers with the tools and infrastructure they need to thrive in modern financial markets.
“This funding round is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and the strong partnerships we have built. We are excited to embark on this next phase of growth and deliver even more value to our customers globally.”
