RedotPay’s Bold Move: Hong Kong Stablecoin Unicorn Eyes $1B+ U.S. IPO
In a striking vote of confidence for crypto-linked finance, Hong Kong-based stablecoin payments firm RedotPay is exploring a U.S. initial public offering (IPO) that could raise more than $1 billion, potentially valuing the company at over $4 billion on Wall Street. (Cointelegraph)
According to people familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg, RedotPay has begun private discussions with major global banks including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Jefferies on a New York listing that could take place as soon as this year. While terms remain under review and could evolve, the company’s move signals renewed momentum for crypto-adjacent enterprise IPOs after a quieter stretch in digital asset public markets.

From Hong Kong Startup to Global Payments Player
Founded in 2023, RedotPay has rapidly scaled a suite of stablecoin-powered services — including multicurrency wallets, payment cards, and cross-border payout infrastructure — aiming to bridge blockchain rails with traditional financial systems. The firm’s revenue-generating operation processes roughly $10 billion in annualized payment volume and serves more than 6 million users across 100+ markets, according to company data. (ICO Analytics)
The firm’s fundraising trajectory underscores its ascent: through 2025, RedotPay raised roughly $194 million across several rounds, with notable participation from heavyweight crypto and venture investors like Goodwater Capital, Pantera Capital, Blockchain Capital, Circle Ventures, and previously Coinbase Ventures — the latter helping the company achieve “unicorn” status with a valuation above $1 billion.

Strategic Timing Amid Crypto IPO Resurgence
RedotPay’s IPO plans arrive at a moment when the crypto industry appears to be rekindling interest in public markets. Recent listings and filings from other digital asset firms have combined with improving regulatory frameworks — particularly in the U.S. and Asia — to make equity markets more accessible for fintech innovators.

Such a blockbuster listing would not only cement RedotPay’s profile as a leading stablecoin infrastructure provider but also represent a broader milestone for digital asset firms attempting to navigate compliance and growth in established financial centers.
What This Means for Stablecoins and Fintech
If realized, a U.S. IPO of this scale could:
- Normalize crypto fintech in public capital markets, attracting institutional investors who have hesitated on digital asset exposures.
- Accelerate mainstream stablecoin adoption, as RedotPay’s products make blockchain payments more accessible for everyday and cross-border use cases.
- Highlight regulatory progress, particularly in jurisdictions like Hong Kong that have been crafting licensing frameworks for stablecoin issuers and blockchain firms. (chinadailyhk)
For now, RedotPay and its banking partners have remained tight-lipped — but the chatter in financial and crypto circles suggests this could be one of the year’s marquee fintech IPO stories.
