Transak Strengthens Stablecoin Infrastructure and Compliance Systems
The new investment will enable Transak to enhance its compliance systems and establish stronger banking partnerships, critical for supporting seamless and regulated fiat-to-stablecoin conversions. Co-Founder and CEO Sami Start emphasized the need for robust infrastructure to promote stablecoins as the primary transaction layer for remittances, cross-border payments, and everyday commerce. With over $2 billion in transaction volume processed to date, Transak is positioned to accelerate secure, regulated, and efficient stablecoin adoption globally.
Global Expansion to Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia
Transak is active in more than 75 countries and leverages local payment methods along with a single API to simplify access to stablecoins. The companyโs regulatory approvals in key jurisdictions provide a solid foundation for its global expansion. With the $16 million funding from Tether and IDG Capital, Transak aims to attract more users and partners, positioning stablecoins as a primary medium for digital financial transactions worldwide.
Boosting Adoption of Stablecoins for Remittances and Cross-Border Commerce
By strengthening its infrastructure and compliance capabilities, Transak expects to increase adoption of stablecoins for remittances, cross-border commerce, and payments. The companyโs enhanced offerings could make transactions faster, safer, and more accessible, encouraging both businesses and individuals to leverage stablecoins for everyday financial operations. This strategic investment marks a key milestone in Transakโs mission to integrate stablecoins into mainstream financial systems across emerging markets.
