FinTech firm OpenTrade bags $7m to scale yield-as-a-service

June 11, 2025

OpenTrade, an institutional-grade infrastructure platform specialising in real-world asset-backed stablecoin yield products, has closed a new funding round to strengthen its position in the growing stablecoin market.

The company has secured $7m in fresh capital. The round was led by Notion Capital and Mercury Fund, with participation from existing investors AlbionVC, a16z crypto, and CMCC Global.

OpenTrade operates a B2B2C “yield-as-a-service” platform that allows FinTechs, exchanges, and neobanks to integrate stablecoin yield offerings directly into their services. Its client list includes platforms such as Belo, BuenBit, Littio, and Criptan. Unlike most real-world asset products that focus on institutional investors, OpenTrade’s model supports millions of retail users making routine deposits and withdrawals as part of their daily financial activities.

The newly raised funds will be used to advance OpenTrade’s go-to-market efforts by enhancing product development, expanding its engineering team, and growing its operational capabilities to meet accelerating global demand.

OpenTrade CEO Dave Sutter said, “Notion and Mercury are exceptional B2B investors with a strong track record of backing category-defining companies, and we’re thrilled to partner with them. Combined with a16z’s leadership, and Albion and CMCC’s deep expertise, we have the network, experience, and momentum to scale globally and help unlock access to dollar-based savings for individuals historically outside the reach of traditional financial systems.”

Mercury partner Samantha Lewis added, “OpenTrade is building core financial infrastructure for the next generation of fintech. Their rapid growth underscores both the scale of demand and the strength of their model. They are solving a fundamental gap in the market with the potential to revolutionize global access to high-quality, yield-bearing accounts. It’s exactly the kind of high-conviction fintech opportunity we look for at Mercury.”
