What to know:

  • RedotPay is pursuing a $4 billion U.S. IPO despite losing at least five senior hires in 12 months and lacking a chief financial officer.
  • The company's internal strain, including reports of required long working hours for staff, overshadows its push for a high-stakes U.S. listing.
  • The stablecoin firm has nevertheless seen strong growth, doubling revenue and passing $10 billion in annualized payment volume.

RedotPay, a Hong Kong-based stablecoin payments startup, is facing internal strain and executive turnover as it seeks up to $150 million in fresh funding and works toward a U.S. IPO that could value the company at more than $4 billion.

Those ambitions are being clouded by executive turnover. At least five senior hires left within 12 months, and the company is pursuing its listing plans without a chief financial officer. Staff, according to a Bloomberg report, have often been asked to work late for extended periods.

The fundraising talks come only months after RedotPay raised more than $150 million across two rounds in September and December. It remains open to strategic investors, but does not face pressure to raise funds because of strong cash flow, Bloomberg said.

The company has grown fast. Investor materials show annualized payment volume passed $10 billion in December, while revenue doubled to $158 million. RedotPay says it now serves more than 6 million users in over 100 countries.

Its main product is a stablecoin payments app linked to a Visa card. Users can store stablecoins in the app and spend them at merchants or online, while the platform also offers remittance services and yield on some holdings.

Mastercard's $1.8 billion deal 'a clear answer' to a massive shift in the global payment war

Analysts say the $1.8 billion acquisition shows stablecoins are moving from niche use to global settlement rails.

What to know:

  • Mastercard’s $1.8 billion deal to buy London-based BVNK signals that stablecoins are shifting from a niche crypto tool to a core layer of global payment infrastructure.
  • Analysts say the acquisition will let Mastercard plug 24/7, blockchain-based stablecoin rails into its existing network, improving cross-border settlement while treating stablecoins as complementary rather than competitive to card payments.
  • While BVNK’s roughly $40 million in revenue means limited near-term earnings impact, Wall Street views the purchase as a strategic bet on a coming stablecoin adoption wave and a defensive move to protect Mastercard’s core payments business.

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
