Loop Crypto raises a strategic round to power stablecoin acceptance
The only company enabling stablecoin wallets to live alongside other payment methods - enabling seamless recurring billing and instant checkout to grow merchant sales globally.
Loop Crypto is at the forefront of stablecoin payment acceptance helping merchants in AI, cloud infrastructure, creator services, and data grow their global customer base. Companies like OpticOdds, Antimetal, Helius, Kaito, Privy, and Phala Network choose Loop because we help them go default global and boost sales by making it easy to accept stablecoin payments from customers in 150+ countries. Our merchants have sold into twice as many countries with crypto as with fiat, earning more and growing faster. In Q2 2025 alone, our transaction count increased by 344% compared to the same period last year.
By removing traditional payment barriers and simplifying global commerce, Loop is building the infrastructure layer for stablecoin merchant acceptance and is the only company enabling stablecoin wallets to live alongside other payment methods within merchants’ existing systems.
We’re excited to announce a new strategic funding round led by Fabric Ventures and VanEck, with additional first-time investment from Mert Mumtaz (Helius) and Max Jungreis (Plug and Play Ventures) and with continued support from a16z crypto, Archetype, a_capital, and others. Fabric and VanEck see Loop as a foundational pillar in an open, composable payments stack, where programmable money, data and existing billing solutions can coexist. This brings Loop’s fundraising total to over $6M.
Merchant acceptance is hard: this is Loop's superpower
Accepting stablecoins at scale isn’t plug-and-play. It’s not just about sending money onchain. It’s about delivering a complete merchant experience that matches (and exceeds) traditional payment experiences. That means providing functionality like:
Supporting any billing model, whether recurring, usage-based, metered, or one-time, to give merchants full flexibility in how and when they charge.
Enabling saved payment methods, something no other crypto solution offers, so merchants can offer faster checkout and true autopay experiences.
Ensuring reliability through smart retry logic, automated customer notifications, and seamless payment orchestration that helps merchants get paid.
Coordinating across blockchains, smart contracts, and billing engines so customers can pay however they want, helping merchants increase conversions and grow sales.
These are heavy engineering challenges - subscription payments on-chain alone require a deep understanding of blockchain architecture, robust state management and retry logic, and billing engine coordination.
Our recent integration with OpenPay, a leading subscription management platform, is a prime example of how Loop solves these challenges. Before Loop, OpenPay merchants who wanted to accept stablecoins had to process them outside of their billing systems, creating siloed payment flows, extra manual efforts, and risk of errors.
Now, with Loop, stablecoins appear in the same payment settings as fiat methods. Customers can save both fiat and stablecoin wallets on file, toggle between them seamlessly, and merchants can settle in either crypto or fiat, all without changing their existing workflows.
By integrating Loop, OpenPay has made it simple for any merchant to turn on the fastest-growing payment method in the world. When it comes to payment acceptance, optionality and redundancy are key, and this integration establishes OpenPay as the clear market leader in providing merchants with the broadest possible payment processing layer.
The OpenPay example is just one proof point. Across our ecosystem, Loop is enabling:
Global acceptance with local settlement: Merchants can accept stablecoins from consumers in 150+ countries and settle in their local currency, instantly and seamlessly.
Real autopay, not reminders: Enable true subscription payments that automatically pull funds without user action, just like credit cards, but on-chain.
Instant Settlement (T+0): Eliminate days-long delays with real-time, final settlement.
Why payments companies are choosing Loop
Payment platforms choose Loop to meet merchant demand to serve a global consumer base through stablecoin acceptance, without the crypto complexity. Our APIs are designed to fit into existing payment systems and our plug-and-play widgets make integration fast, with one endpoint supporting every major chain, token, and wallet.
Providers can configure settlement per merchant and choose stablecoins or local currencies like USD or Euro. Loop helps merchants grow by expanding payment options: our merchants see roughly one in five customers choose crypto at checkout.
With full access to payment data, platforms can unlock on-chain features like loyalty and customer service, all through one integration that works with their existing stack.
Why now?
Stablecoins are no longer fringe. They are a fast-growing, global financial force. Over $250 billion in stablecoins are in circulation today, across hundreds of millions of global holders and growing 2x year-over-year. Consumers in 150+ countries use stablecoins to transact, store value, and access digital dollars in real time.
Adoption is accelerating: Stripe, Airwallex, and Coinbase are building new payment infrastructure on stablecoin rails. Banks like Citi and J.P. Morgan, and tech giants such as Uber and Walmart, are testing or building with stablecoins to serve everyday users.
This wave of institutional and platform support is only going to accelerate the shift. Digital-first businesses - AI platforms, SaaS companies, creators, and decentralized apps all sell globally, and stablecoins are becoming the fastest, most cost-effective way to serve those customers. Accepting stablecoins isn’t a futuristic idea anymore. It’s a competitive necessity.
At Loop, we process millions of dollars in stablecoin payments, and our internal data confirms what the market is signaling: stablecoins are rapidly becoming the preferred digital payment method. In 2025 to date, stablecoins account for 98% of all transactions and 94% of total payment volume on our platform.
While stablecoin orchestration, moving money across rails, is important, it’s just one layer of the puzzle. What merchants truly need is stablecoin acceptance: a seamless way to get paid that integrates with the systems they already use, from CRMs to billing platforms to subscription engines, and lets stablecoin wallets live alongside credit cards, debit cards, and other traditional methods.
Our vision: we’re building for a modern payments stack
The individual and institutional embrace of stablecoins signals a broader shift: the world needs modern payment rails that match the 24/7, global nature of today’s economy. It’s increasingly clear that those rails will be built on stablecoins, and Loop is building the infrastructure layer to power them.
Our direct conversations with customers tell a consistent story: non-crypto native merchants are actively looking for stablecoin payment solutions, and they’re choosing Loop because of our ability to enable stablecoin acceptance to fit seamlessly into their existing processes. We’re seeing especially strong demand in fast-scaling, globally distributed sectors like AI, where companies are building to go global from day one and need the financial infrastructure to match.
We’re honored to have Fabric, VanEck, and our ecosystem behind us. If you're building in fintech, Web3, AI, payments, or global commerce, we want to build with you.
Loop gives you the toolkit to accept modern payments - fast, global, programmable rails that are already here, and built to work with the systems you use today.
