UnblockPay, a Brazil-founded stablecoin-native banking and payments platform, has closed a $4.5m seed funding round to fuel its international growth and product development.
The round was led by Prelude, with additional backing from Plug and Play, Wintermute, Reverie, Signature Ventures, Triaxis Capital, and Crescera Capital. Angel investors from Stone, Zoop, and iFood also took part in the raise.
The fresh capital will be directed towards broadening UnblockPay’s operational footprint, speeding up product development, and reinforcing its regulatory and compliance framework. The company has indicated plans to enter new markets beyond its current reach in Latin America, the United States, and Europe.
UnblockPay serves as both the technological and regulatory backbone that allows businesses to incorporate stablecoins into their day-to-day financial operations.
Its platform gives companies the ability to seamlessly convert between fiat currencies and the USDC and USDT stablecoins, while executing payments across key markets. Since launching, the platform has processed in excess of R$300m in total transaction volume within its first year. The business was established in 2025 by a founding team with extensive experience in banking infrastructure and regulated financial products in Brazil.
