Alpaca is a global brokerage infrastructure and wealth-management/foreign-exchange platform company. The August 2026 funding was intended to support that business. Krungsri Finnovate said the 2026 investments were made through its private equity trust vehicle, which has backed startups since 2021 and is part of a portfolio worth about THB 5 billion across more than 30 startups in Thailand, ASEAN, and other markets. Alpaca had previously raised $150 million in January 2026 at a $1.15 billion valuation in a separate financing round, indicating that the August transaction was an additional strategic investment rather than that larger round.
