Exclusive: Crypto Startup LI.FI Raises $29 Million for Cross-Blockchain Price Discovery Tool

Crypto infrastructure player LI.FI has secured a fresh $29 million funding round, and the timing couldn’t be more significant. As liquidity fragments across dozens of chains and thousands of tokens, one of crypto’s biggest problems is simple: nobody knows where the “real” price is anymore. LI.FI wants to fix that — and investors clearly think the solution is worth betting on.

The new capital will accelerate development of LI.FI’s cross-blockchain price discovery engine, a tool designed to pull real-time liquidity, pricing, and routing data from multiple networks. Think of it as the “Google Maps of crypto transactions” — showing users the most efficient path to move assets, no matter which chain they sit on.

This isn’t just about convenience. As DeFi spreads across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, and emerging L2 ecosystems, traders often face delays, bad quotes, or outright price manipulation because liquidity is scattered. LI.FI’s system aims to create a unified pricing layer that DeFi apps, wallets, and exchanges can plug into.

Investors are framing it as a missing piece of infrastructure — the kind that quietly becomes indispensable in every user’s toolkit.

If LI.FI delivers, it could reshape how money moves across chains, making swaps faster, fairer, and friction-free. In a market desperate for efficiency, this raise signals that interoperability is no longer a narrative — it’s becoming a necessity.
