Stablecoin payments startup Coinflow has successfully secured $25 million in a Series A funding round, led by Pantera Capital, aimed at enhancing its global payout network and competing against traditional cross-border payment systems. Based in Chicago, Coinflow reported a remarkable 23-fold revenue increase since 2024, now facilitating stablecoin payments across over 170 countries. The investment round also saw participation from firms like Coinbase Ventures, CMT Digital, Jump Capital, and The Fintech Fund. By accepting stablecoin payments, merchants can potentially minimize the reliance on financial intermediaries and reduce transaction costs, aligning with their typical service experiences associated with conventional payment methods. Coinflow claims to handle multi-billion-dollar annual transaction volumes, offering infrastructure for businesses to manage global payments through stablecoins such as USDC. Its platform features instant settlements, chargeback protection, and AI-driven fraud prevention measures. The newly raised capital will enable Coinflow to extend its payout services into Asia and Latin America, expand its workforce in the U.S. and Europe, and enhance transaction approval rates, vital for merchant growth. CEO Daniel Lev emphasized the existing inefficiencies in payment systems, which remain fragmented, slow, and costly.
