RedotPay Raises $107M as Stablecoin Payment Volume Hits $10B

RedotPay has closed a $107 million Series B led by Goodwater Capital, bringing total 2025 fundraising to $194 million as the stablecoin payment company scales toward profitability with 6 million users across more than 100 countries.

The round was oversubscribed. Pantera Capital, Blockchain Capital, and Circle Ventures participated alongside continued backing from existing investors including HSG. RedotPay now processes more than $10 billion in annualized payment volume and generates over $150 million in annual revenue, according to Wednesday's announcement.

RedotPay competes in a space where companies like Wirex, Crypto.com, and traditional neobanks are also exploring stablecoin integration. The company's user growth and payment volume suggest demand for products that make digital assets spendable in everyday transactions without requiring deep crypto expertise.

Payment volume nearly tripled year-over-year, with more than 3 million new users joining the platform through November 2025, Redotpay said. The company offers stablecoin-linked cards that let users spend digital assets globally, stablecoin-powered international transfer rails, and multi-currency accounts connecting traditional finance with crypto.

Michael Gao, co-founder and CEO of RedotPay, said the company aims to help users manage finances through stablecoin-powered services. The new capital will fund strategic acquisitions, license applications for new markets, and hiring across engineering, product, and compliance teams.

Jin Oh, partner at Goodwater Capital, said stablecoins have potential to disrupt global money flows and strengthen financial inclusion. He described RedotPay as improving financial access with strong traction for its stablecoin solutions across major markets.

The company is targeting regions where consumers face currency risk, inflation-driven savings erosion, and unstable local banking systems. Jonah Burian at Blockchain Capital said many users would prefer storing value in dollars, Bitcoin, or other digital assets while spending in local currency – a gap RedotPay seeks to fill.

Ryan Barney, partner at Pantera Capital, said the firm backs companies using blockchain to solve real-world problems and views RedotPay as bringing stablecoins into everyday payments at global scale.

RedotPay's card product allows users to spend stablecoins and other digital assets anywhere Visa or Mastercard is accepted. The company's payout rails enable cross-border transfers settled in stablecoins, while its peer-to-peer marketplace provides on-ramps and off-ramps between fiat and digital assets.

The funding round reflects growing investor appetite for stablecoin infrastructure serving both crypto-native users and mainstream consumers. RedotPay positions itself as bridging these audiences by building payment products on blockchain rails that operate faster and more reliably than traditional fintech infrastructure.

The company said it operates profitably through a scalable business model, though specific margins were not disclosed. Plans include geographic expansion with focus on high-growth regions and enhanced product offerings to connect crypto and traditional payment ecosystems.

From Idea to App Store: The Complete Guide to Mobile App Development in Saudi Arabia

From Idea to App Store: The Complete Guide to Mobile App Development in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is at the forefront of digital transformation. With Vision 2030 driving innovation and a rapidly growing population of tech-savvy users, mobile apps have become a core driver of business growth in the Kingdom. From e-commerce and fintech to healthcare, logistics, and on-demand services, Saudi businesses are embracing mobile apps to connect with customers and scale faster. But how do you take a mobile app idea and turn it into a successful launch on the App Store or Google Play? This guide breaks down the complete mobile app development process in Saudi Arabia — step by step. Step 1: Validate Your App Idea for the Saudi Market Before you start building, ask: What problem does my app solve for Saudi users? Is there a cultural or market gap my app can fill? How do local competitors approach the same challenge? For example, apps related to digital payments, e-learning, delivery services, and healthcare are in high demand across Saudi Arabia. Conducting market research and aligning your app idea with local user behavior is critical. Step 2: Plan Features with Local Needs in Mind Your app should start with an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) — a core version that solves the main problem. Later, you can scale with advanced features. In Saudi Arabia, consider adding: Arabic language support (essential for user adoption) Integration with local payment gateways like STC Pay, Mada, or Apple Pay Regulatory compliance (especially for fintech and health apps) Localization for user preferences (Hijri calendar, cultural UI elements) Step 3: Select the Right Development Approach You can choose: Native Apps (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) — Great for scalability and performance. Cross-Platform Apps (Flutter, React Native) — Cost-effective for startups targeting both iOS and Android simultaneously. Hybrid Apps — Suitable for simpler apps with limited features. For Saudi startups and enterprises, cross-platform development is often preferred to reach a wider audience quickly and efficiently. Step 4: Design With a Local Touch The design must balance global usability standards with local cultural relevance. UI (User Interface): Clean, modern visuals that align with Saudi branding. UX (User Experience): Simple navigation, clear Arabic text support, and intuitive flows. Wireframing & Prototyping: Test early with Saudi users to ensure adoption. A user-friendly design is one of the top reasons apps succeed in the Kingdom’s competitive market. Step 5: Develop Your Mobile App Once the design is ready, the coding begins. Saudi app development companies often follow Agile methodology, ensuring flexibility and faster delivery. Front-End Development: Interface and user interactions. Back-End Development: Databases, servers, and APIs. Integration: Secure connections between front-end and back-end. Strong collaboration between developers, designers, and business analysts ensures your app aligns with Saudi market needs. Step 6: Testing Across Devices and Networks Saudi users rely on different devices and network speeds. That’s why rigorous testing is critical: Functionality Testing: Features work as expected. Performance Testing: The app runs smoothly on both 4G and 5G networks. Localization Testing: Arabic text displays correctly, without alignment issues. Security Testing: Data protection compliance with Saudi cybersecurity standards. Step 7: App Store & Google Play Launch in Saudi Arabia To publish your app: Apple App Store (iOS): Requires an Apple Developer account and strict guideline compliance. Google Play Store (Android): Faster approval but still requires detailed app info. You’ll also need metadata in both English and Arabic — titles, descriptions, and screenshots — to maximize visibility among Saudi users. Step 8: Market Your App in Saudi Arabia Launching an app is only the beginning. You need a marketing strategy tailored to the Kingdom: App Store Optimization (ASO): Use Arabic and English keywords. Social Media Campaigns: Leverage platforms like Snapchat, Twitter (X), and Instagram, which are highly popular in Saudi Arabia. Influencer Marketing: Collaborate with Saudi influencers for early traction. Paid Ads: Google Ads and Saudi-focused Facebook/Instagram ads. Partnerships: Collaborate with local businesses to reach a wider audience. Step 9: Gather Feedback and Optimize Once your app is live, monitor: User reviews on app stores Analytics on engagement, retention, and churn rates Suggestions from Saudi users for culturally relevant features Continuous updates and improvements are vital to stay competitive. Step 10: Scale With Advanced Features Once your MVP gains traction, you can expand with advanced features such as: AI and machine learning for personalization Blockchain-based payments for fintech apps AR/VR features for retail and gaming apps IoT integration for smart home and mobility solutions Saudi Arabia’s digital ecosystem is growing rapidly — apps that adapt quickly will thrive. Conclusion Mobile app development in Saudi Arabia is not just about building an app — it’s about aligning with Vision 2030, cultural needs, and user expectations. By following a clear process — from idea validation to launch and beyond — you can transform your concept into a profitable digital product. Whether you’re a startup or an enterprise in Saudi Arabia, the opportunity is massive. With the right strategy, you can move from idea to App Store and create an app that truly resonates with Saudi users.
