Overview

  • Tazapay closed an undisclosed Series B led by Peak XV Partners with participation from Ripple, Circle Ventures, Norinchukin Capital, GMO VenturePartners, and existing backers January Capital and ARC180.
  • Tazapay says proceeds will speed its licensing roadmap in the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, and Australia.
  • The company plans to apply for a Singapore license for Digital Payment Tokens and to expand into Japan, leveraging its new Japan-based investors.
  • The platform reports more than $10 billion in annualized payment volume, roughly 300% year-over-year growth, and operational breakeven.
  • Executives framed the investments as strengthening Tazapay’s role linking traditional fiat rails with stablecoin settlement in emerging markets, building on existing licenses in Singapore, Canada, and the EU.
