RedotPay secures $40 million Series A funding, marking a major milestone for the crypto payment platform. The announcement came on 14 March 2025, highlighting the company’s growth and future plans.
Venture capital firm Lightspeed led the round, with additional participation from HSG, Galaxy Ventures, DST Global Partners, Accel, and Vertex Ventures, a VC backed by Temasek.
The funding will support RedotPay’s efforts to expand its payment ecosystem, enhance product offerings, and strengthen regulatory compliance frameworks while growing its licensing footprint across different jurisdictions.
Founded in April 2023, RedotPay provides an alternative to traditional banking, particularly for the unbanked population. The platform has since registered over 3 million users globally and offers a crypto card and payment platform designed to integrate cryptocurrency into everyday transactions.
RedotPay aims to create a borderless payment ecosystem that connects fiat currencies and digital assets. Its users will be able to spend on digital assets easily while maintaining the familiarity of regular payment methods.
