dtcpay, a Singapore-headquartered regulated digital payments company, has raised $10m in a Series A funding round led by Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia & India, with proceeds earmarked for expanding its global stablecoin payments infrastructure.
Favour Capital, a Singapore-based boutique investment bank, served as exclusive financial adviser on the raise.
The round will be used to enhance dtcpay’s product suite, strengthen its underlying infrastructure, and expand its operational presence across newly licensed jurisdictions, with a particular focus on accelerating its European market entry.
Founded by Alice Liu and Band Zhao, dtcpay bridges digital assets with traditional finance, enabling businesses and individuals to accept, store, and transact in stablecoins for everyday use.
The company’s real-time swap engine delivers instant settlement across stablecoin and fiat currencies. dtcpay is also among a select few companies in APAC to have partnered with Visa, offering Visa Infinite cards to individuals and corporate card solutions to businesses that settle transactions across digital and fiat currencies at competitive spot rates.
dtcpay CEO and co-founder Alice Liu said, “Our mission is to deliver a platform where faster, safer, and more cost-efficient transactions are the standard, not the exception. By prioritising compliance and regulatory rigour alongside a user-centric experience, we have built a foundational infrastructure ready for global scale. This capital will accelerate our product adoption and facilitate our entry into high-growth markets.”
Vertex Ventures SEA & India general partner Genping Liu said, “We see a massive opportunity in the ‘real-world use’ of stablecoin where utility meets regulated finance. dtcpay has demonstrated an incredible ability to balance cutting-edge technical innovation with a user experience that rivals traditional banking apps. They are uniquely positioned to capture the next wave of mainstream adoption in global digital payments.”
