Company profile

researched Aug 2026

RedotPay is a stablecoin-based payment fintech that connects digital assets with traditional payment and banking infrastructure. Its consumer app lets users hold stablecoins and local currencies in a multi-currency wallet, convert between assets via an in-app Swap function, and spend through virtual and physical cards issued on major global card networks. The company states the cards are accepted at more than 130 million merchants, POS locations and ATMs, support Apple Pay and Google Pay, carry no annual fee, and allow spending of up to $100,000 per transaction [0][3][4].

Beyond card payments, RedotPay offers Send Globally (crypto sent by the user is received as local currency in a recipient's bank account, with Brazilian real cited as an example), free in-app transfers between RedotPay users identified by UID, email or phone, EUR and GBP currency accounts funded by bank transfer, a P2P Marketplace covering 50+ local currencies and 200+ payment methods, an Earn product paying daily rewards, and a crypto-collateralised Credit/loan product accepting BTC, ETH, SOL, TRX, XRP, BNB, TON and stablecoins. Additional features include Scan to Pay, mobile top-up, gifting, a points and rewards program, a RedotPay Pro membership, and a referral program paying up to 40% commission on referred users' transactions. Earn and P2P are available only in selected regions [0][3][4][5].

The company positions compliance and security as core pillars, citing a Virtual Asset Service Provider authorisation in Argentina, Money Services Business registration in Canada, FinCEN MSB registration in the United States (described as supporting internal operations and cross-border processing rather than serving U.S. citizens), and Hong Kong Money Lender and Trust or Company Service Provider licences covering custody and lending. It also reports ISO/IEC 27001 certification, PCI DSS compliance, SOC 2 Type II certification, MPC-based custody infrastructure, third-party audits and institutional-grade insurance on digital assets [2]. RedotPay states it is a fintech service provider and not a bank, with the multi-currency wallet provided by licensed financial institutions [0].

Founding story

RedotPay was founded in April 2023 and is co-founded and led by CEO Michael Gao [6][7].

Business model

RedotPay operates a consumer-facing payments app and card program that monetises transaction flow across card spending, global payouts, swaps and crypto-backed credit. It reported over US$150 million in annualised revenue as of the December 2025 Series B announcement and described itself as delivering profitable growth through an efficient, scalable model [6]. The company also offers a paid-tier membership (RedotPay Pro) and a business offering alongside its personal products [0].

Revenue is generated from payment and card-related services; the company advertises no annual card fee, competitive spending rates, and fee-free in-app transfers and P2P trading, while charging on other card and transaction activity, and it operates a crypto-collateralised lending product under a Hong Kong money lender licence [0][3][4]. Annualised revenue was stated at over US$150 million as of November/December 2025 [6].

Traction

Company materials report 8 million-plus global users, presence in 100-plus countries and US$12 billion annualised payment volume [0][2][3]. The December 2025 Series B release reported over 6 million registered users as of November 2025, over US$10 billion annualised payment volume, over US$150 million annualised revenue, payment volume nearly tripling year-on-year, and more than 3 million new users added in 2025 through November [6]. In March 2025 the company reported over 3 million registered users [7]. Its iOS app holds a 4.8 rating from about 3,900 ratings [4].

Latest developments

In December 2025 RedotPay announced a US$107 million Series B led by Goodwater Capital with Pantera Capital, Blockchain Capital, Circle Ventures and existing investor HSG, stating proceeds would fund strategic acquisitions, licensing and compliance expansion for new markets, and global hiring across engineering, product and compliance [6]. The site also notes Apple Pay support for payments on RedotPay in Safari and a Hong Kong Money Lender's Licence numbered 1715/2025 [0][3].

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies

Market position

RedotPay describes itself as a leading crypto payments fintech and a leading market position in stablecoin applications, citing 8M+ users across 100+ countries and US$12 billion annualised payment volume on its site; its Series B announcement cited over 6 million registered users and over US$10 billion annualised payment volume as of November 2025 [0][2][6].

The company emphasises practical, everyday use of stablecoins — card acceptance at 130M+ merchants and ATMs, near-instant multi-market payouts on proprietary rails, and access to stablecoins for users without traditional banking via multi-currency accounts and a P2P marketplace — combined with a broad multi-jurisdiction licensing and certification footprint (VASP, MSB, Hong Kong money lender/TCSP, ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II) [2][3][4][6].

Technology

The platform uses stablecoin-based blockchain rails integrated with traditional card networks and banking infrastructure, including proprietary payout infrastructure for cross-border transfers. Assets are secured with multi-party computation (MPC) custody, end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, transaction screening and secure custody; account-level protections include 2FA, passkeys, anti-phishing codes and gesture passwords [2][4][6].

Go-to-market

Distribution is direct-to-consumer through iOS and Android apps with identity verification stated to take under five minutes, supported by a referral program paying up to 40% commission on referred users' transactions, vouchers, cashback and promotional giveaways, plus community channels on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Telegram and Discord [4]. The company also markets a business product line and invites partnership enquiries [0][2].

Retail users in over 100 countries, including crypto-native holders seeking to spend digital assets and unbanked or underbanked consumers seeking access to dollar-denominated stablecoins; investors cite users in markets facing inflation and fragile local banking as a core audience. The company also serves business customers [0][2][6][7].

Geography

Headquartered in Hong Kong, with services available in over 100 countries/markets. Licensing spans Argentina (VASP), Canada (MSB), the United States (FinCEN MSB, for internal operations and cross-border processing only) and Hong Kong (Money Lender, TCSP). EUR and GBP currency accounts and local-currency payouts such as BRL are supported; Earn and P2P are limited to selected regions [0][2][4][6][7].

History

Founded in April 2023, RedotPay grew to over 3 million registered users by March 2025, when it closed a $40 million Series A led by Lightspeed following that investor's commitment in December 2024. By November 2025 it reported over 6 million registered users and over US$10 billion annualised payment volume, and in December 2025 it announced an oversubscribed US$107 million Series B led by Goodwater Capital, bringing total capital raised in 2025 to US$194 million [6][7].

Risks & controversies

Company disclosures flag capital-loss risk in Earn products, counterparty default and market volatility risk in P2P trading (where RedotPay acts only as facilitator and disclaims liability for settlement or disputes), and repayment obligations on crypto-backed loans. RedotPay states it is not a bank and that its multi-currency wallet is provided by third-party licensed institutions; its U.S. FinCEN MSB registration does not cover services to U.S. citizens. At least one App Store reviewer reported a frustrating experience with a transfer, alongside predominantly positive ratings [0][2][4].
