A big day for @walapay_io! Congrats to the team on the raise!
Definitely a company to keep an eye on and if you need support in cross-border payments in emerging markets, Walapay is the company to reach out to.
Definitely a company to keep an eye on and if you need support in cross-border payments in emerging markets, Walapay is the company to reach out to.
Big news: we've raised $4.6M in seed funding, led by @genventurecap, with participation from @CommerceVC, @0xPolygon, @AAF_Management, @VerdaVentures @NGC_Ventures, @FGVCapital, @JSquare_co, @reflexivexyz, @BigBrainVC, and others.
We're building global payments infrastructure integration to issue accounts, collect funds, convert currencies and pay out globally with the licensing, banking relationships, and local rails underneath it all.
That depth matters most in emerging markets. Moving money into Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Global by default. Local to the last mile.
This round takes us further: more licenses, more banking partnerships, and a growing team to build it. Link in the comments.
If you're moving money across borders, we'd love to talk.
We're just getting started! 📷

Demand is enormous and growing for cross-border B2B payments and EM institutions, based on @VerdaVentures PortCo financials. Of course, if you only do US domestic payments, demand much less; even there though stablecoin payments are instant versus slower ACH and Wire + not 24/7.
Tether says it doesn't see a lot of North Pole's demand to import ice.

Real-world payments account for 29% of all stablecoin transactions.
Yet, only 11 cents of every dollar moved onchain goes toward real-world use.
This difference exists because moving tokens onchain is easy, but converting them after the transfer into spendable local currency payroll is not.
As @Mansa_mlk said, "A stablecoin is only as good as its ability to move in and out of the fiat currency that you want to get into."

USDC moved $14.8T last quarter, up 151% YoY. Circle kept $48M of it.
Tether's supply barely moved, at $184.6B, and earned $1.5B in operating profit.
Every stablecoin has a different job. Only one gets paid for it.

Remittances run on Tron. USDT there hit $89B, ~47% of all USDT, 93% of it P2P, and sub-$1,000 transfers rose from 43% to 52% in a quarter.
Tether earns the float. Ramps take the ~3% fee.

Five jobs, five leaders.
Market share measures the one job that pays the issuer, then gets treated as the whole ranking.

"Treat the loud metrics with suspicion and the rail with respect. Back the businesses moving real settlement volume now, and be skeptical of anyone selling you a transaction count."

"In this post-AI world, 'Distribution' is more important than ever"
@AlexLWitt notes that building Web3 tools is only step one.
Distribution is the real unlock – especially for market leaders like @tether.
PACT isn't just the infrastructure layer, it's the distribution layer.

“The moat isn’t whether you can build a product anymore. It’s whether you have the distribution to reach a lot of people.”
@AlexLWitt, General Partner at @VerdaVentures, shared his perspective with our CMO @DeFi_Pop on why distribution matters more than ever.

“Everyone seems to love stablecoins now. When we started, everyone told me I was dumb for focusing on them.”

Excited to back @somosplenti alongside @tether as they expand across LatAm. With $3.1B+ in annual volume and locally owned payment rails, the team is building critical cross-border infrastructure for the region. Congrats to the team!
