Mellon added:
"This is the first investment Kuala has made in a bitcoin-related company; previously it has invested in medical technology."
He said Kuala was "very attracted" to the concept of frictionless micropayments.
Although Mellon declined to divulge specifics, SatoshiPay said in a blog post that Kuala Innovations had invested €160,000 ($179,341) in seed funding.
Kuala's contribution, the post said is part of a larger funding round led by blockchain-focused investment company Coinsilium.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
Lo que debes saber:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
