RedotPay, a stablecoin payments startup based in Hong Kong, is encountering internal pressures and executive turnover as it seeks up to $150 million in new funding while aiming for a U.S. IPO that may value the company at over $4 billion.
These aspirations are complicated by executive turnover. Over the past year, at least five senior employees have departed, and the company is pursuing its listing plans without a chief financial officer. Reports from Bloomberg indicate that employees have frequently been required to work late for prolonged periods.
The discussions regarding fundraising come just months after RedotPay secured over $150 million across two funding rounds in September and December. While the company remains receptive to strategic investors, it does not feel pressured to secure funds due to its strong cash flow, according to Bloomberg.
The company has expanded rapidly. Investor documentation indicates that annualized payment volume surpassed $10 billion in December, while revenue rose to $158 million. RedotPay claims to now serve over 6 million users across more than 100 countries.
The primary offering is a stablecoin payments application linked to a Visa card. Users can store stablecoins within the app and utilize them for purchases at merchants or online, while the platform also provides remittance services and potential earnings on certain holdings.
