Japanese financial group SBI Group became a strategic investor in Singapore's dtcpay, specializing in payment infrastructure for digital assets. The company joined the Series A round, the total amount of which reached $25 million. In April 2026, the round was led by Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia & India, and the new investment from SBI Group was made through SBI Ventures Asset and the SBI-NTU-Kyobo Digital Innovation Fund. Genedant Capital and existing investor Kwi Liong Tek also participated in the financing.
dtcpay creates solutions for settlements with stablecoins and traditional currencies. The platform allows businesses to accept, store, and transfer digital assets, as well as conduct exchanges between stablecoins and fiat currencies. The product lineup includes a cryptocurrency payment acceptance system at points of sale, integration with WalletConnect, which connects over 700 wallets, and a Visa Infinite card supporting transactions with stablecoins and fiat currencies. The company has also participated in projects to implement stablecoin payments in Singapore, including the acceptance of digital assets in the Metro network and some hotels.
The funds raised will be used by dtcpay to scale its infrastructure, expand its network of trading partners, and enter new regulated markets. The company is developing a corporate portal and updating the features of its mobile application. In Singapore, dtcpay holds a license as a major payment institution, while in Luxembourg it operates as an electronic money organization. For SBI Group, this deal is part of the development of its digital asset direction: in June 2026, the group, together with Startale Group, launched JPYSC, a stablecoin denominated in Japanese yen.
