Hong Kong-based stablecoin payments firm RedotPay said it has consolidated teams to boost efficiency while scaling, after a report highlighted executive departures and China-linked sensitivities. The company is exploring raising up to $150 million and previously considered a US IPO that could exceed $1 billion in proceeds and a $4 billion valuation, but it insists there is no urgent need for new capital. RedotPay, founded in 2023, now employs more than 250 staff globally and offers a stablecoin spending app paired with a Visa card, along with yield and remittance services.

Tangem, a Switzerland-based hardware wallet provider, reported $61.3 million in revenue for 2025, representing a 102% year-over-year increase driven by its "active self-custody" approach.

Decentralized autonomous organization governance platform Tally will begin winding down operations at the end of March after five years, with its co-founder citing the lack of a sustainable business model for DAO tooling. The platform says it has handled governance for hundreds of organizations, served more than 1 million users and processed over $1 billion in payments, but will not move ahead with a planned token sale. Industry participants argue the closure reflects broader challenges in DAO coordination, where high usage has not consistently translated into revenue.

On March 17, 2026, centralized exchange Crypto.com announced a partnership with KG Inicis, South Korea's largest payment gateway and value added network provider, to enable digital asset payments for foreign travelers. The collaboration will use the Crypto.com Pay app to let visitors spend crypto at Korean merchants and online platforms connected to KG Inicis, while merchants can choose to settle in fiat or digital assets. KG Inicis processes over 400 million transactions annually and holds around 40% of the local gateway market, giving the project immediate access to large-scale payment infrastructure.

Stablecoin payments infrastructure provider TransFi has raised $19.2 million, including $14.2 million in Series A equity and a $5 million committed liquidity facility.

Tally, a governance platform serving over 500 DAOs such as Uniswap, Ethereum Name Service and Arbitrum, has announced it will close after operating for more than five years. The decision follows new joint guidance from the SEC and CFTC stating that most cryptocurrencies are not securities, which has eased legal pressures and reduced demand for DAO governance structures in the US.

Meta Platforms will discontinue virtual reality access to its Horizon Worlds metaverse on June 15, 2026, shifting the service to a mobile-only format.
