Zaria Raises $5.2M in Seed Funding to Scale Fiduciary Infrastructure for Structured Finance
Zaria Systems, Inc., which develops real-time infrastructure for mark-to-market credit and structured finance, has raised $5.2 million in seed funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners. The investment will support Zaria's pending application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to charter a national trust bank focused on structured finance operations. The company aims to modernize traditional batch-based collateral monitoring systems, which are becoming outdated as digital asset-backed and tokenized lending grow. If approved, Zaria National Trust Bank would offer consolidated services under one federally regulated entity for the first time in this sector. The funding will also help expand its team and technology. Zaria's platform is already live with partners such as Ledn, Maple, Galaxy, Kraken, and Figure, providing backup servicing, agency, collateral management, and node services across various financial products.
