We’re excited to announce that OpenTrade has closed a $7 million strategic funding round to accelerate our mission of making stablecoin yield a mainstream financial product.

The round was led by Notion Capital and Mercury Fund, with continued support from existing investors AlbionVC, a16z crypto, and CMCC Global. This raise brings our total funding to over $11 million in just six months, underscoring the strong institutional confidence in our vision: to expand access to dollar- and euro-denominated yield products, especially in markets underserved by traditional finance.

Yield-as-a-Service for the Next Generation of Fintechs

OpenTrade is building institutional-grade infrastructure that allows fintechs, neobanks, and exchanges to offer their users access to real-world asset-backed (RWA) stablecoin yields, all via a simple, secure, API-first platform.

We call it “yield-as-a-service.” It’s a B2B2C model that empowers consumer-facing financial apps to embed yield products directly into their UX. Unlike typical institutional-only RWA platforms, OpenTrade is designed for daily use at consumer scale, serving millions of users making routine deposits and withdrawals.

Whether it’s a user in Spain earning 4% on their EURC through Criptan, or someone in Colombia earning 6% on their USD via Littio, OpenTrade makes yield accessible, intuitive, and embedded into the apps people already use.

Built for the World

In many countries, access to reliable savings products in foreign currencies like USD and EUR is practically nonexistent and when it does exist, the interest offered is negligible.

In Colombia, for example, banks offer less than 0.4% APR on dollar accounts. With OpenTrade, Littio users can earn up to 6% on their USD, directly from their phones. This is more than financial innovation, it’s economic empowerment.

“With a market cap of over $240 billion, the stablecoin market is now a force to be reckoned with,” said Itxaso del Palacio, General Partner at Notion Capital. “OpenTrade is in a unique position to build the industry’s much-needed infrastructure and enable stablecoin holders to benefit from yields.”

“OpenTrade is building core financial infrastructure for the next generation of fintech,” added Samantha Lewis, Partner at Mercury Fund. “Their rapid growth underscores both the scale of demand and the strength of their model.”

Scaling with Strength

Over the past year, OpenTrade has:

• Grown assets under management to $50 million

• Processed nearly $200 million in volume

• Maintained 20% month-over-month growth for the past six months

  
  

This new capital will help us scale faster, expanding our product development, engineering capacity, and global operational footprint.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Notion and Mercury, two exceptional B2B investors with a strong track record of backing category-defining companies,” said Dave Sutter, CEO of OpenTrade. “Together with a16z, Albion, and CMCC, we have the network and momentum to bring yield-bearing accounts to anyone with a smartphone.”

What’s Next?

We’re doubling down on our mission to democratise access to high-quality, yield-bearing financial products, starting with stablecoins.

Expect new product launches, new market entries, and deeper integrations with fintechs and neobanks around the world.
