Stablecoins for payments are growing rapidly, with various estimates about the potential market size for blockchain rails and dollar-pegged tokens. Circle, issuer of the second-largest stablecoin, USDC, introduced the CPN in April, to capture some of the cross-border payments and remittances space.
RedotPay, which recently raised a $40 million funding round, says it’s on a mission to make global payments more accessible for underbanked populations by reducing transaction costs, as well as eliminating the traditional one to five business day settlement period typically associated with international transfers.
RedotPay is addressing two major pain points that have historically hindered cross-border payments in emerging markets, according to Michael Gao, CEO & Co-Founder of RedotPay.
“For users, the process has been slow and costly with high foreign exchange rates and handling fees,” Gao said in a statement. “Transaction success rates have also been inconsistent. For Payment Service Providers (PSPs), capital has often been trapped in prefunded accounts with different PSPs or banks across multiple countries.”
