RedotPay

RedotPay is a Hong Kong-based financial technology company founded in 2023. It lets users hold crypto and stablecoins, spend them on partner-issued Visa and Mastercard prepaid cards, and send payouts into local currency, marketing itself as a crypto neobank while stating it is a fintech, not a bank.1 Balances are custodial: RedotPay or licensed partners hold funds.

History

RedotPay was founded in 2023 in Hong Kong by Michael Gao and Jonathan Chan. It launched as a stablecoin-powered spend and transfer app aimed at emerging-market users who want dollar-like balances and a card that works at conventional merchants. The company raised a cluster of 2025 rounds, including a US$40 million Series A in March, a later 2025 round that press described as taking it to unicorn status, and a US$107 million Series B in December 2025 led by Goodwater Capital with Pantera Capital, Blockchain Capital, Circle Ventures and existing backer HSG, bringing 2025 fundraising to US$194 million.2

At that Series B it reported more than 6 million registered users in over 100 markets, over US$10 billion annualised payment volume and over US$150 million annualised revenue. Its consumer site later advertised 8 million-plus users and a US$12 billion annualised payment-volume figure.

Founders

Michael Gao is co-founder and chief executive officer of RedotPay. He has framed the product as stablecoin-powered everyday finance: a card and wallet so users can hold crypto or dollars and spend in local currency without a traditional bank account.

Jonathan Chan is co-founder and head of partnerships. Together they built RedotPay as a custodial crypto-card and payouts platform competing with other stablecoin spend apps such as KAST, rather than self-custody products such as Avici or ether.fi.

Model and licences

RedotPay is a front-end fintech: multi-currency wallets are provided by licensed institutions, and card issuing uses Visa/Mastercard partners. The company has cited Hong Kong money-service and money-lender permissions, plus VASP/MSB-style registrations in other markets (including Lithuania and North America). It is not a deposit-taking bank and does not market FDIC-style insurance on crypto balances.

  • Crypto cards - virtual and physical prepaid Visa/Mastercard, including Apple Pay / Google Pay, for spend at 130 million-plus merchants and ATM withdrawals.
  • Multi-currency wallet - crypto and local-currency balances via licensed partners.
  • Global send / P2P - crypto-to-local-currency payouts and an in-app P2P marketplace (selected regions).
  • Credit - borrow against crypto collateral under a Hong Kong money-lender licence.
  • Earn and swap - yield products and in-app conversions, with regional restrictions.
