Funding Fuels Global Expansion of Stablecoin Yield Platform
UK-based fintech OpenTrade has raised $7 million in a strategic round, signaling rising investor interest in stablecoin-based yield solutions tailored for inflation-stricken markets. The round was led by Notion Capital and Mercury Fund, with participation from a16z crypto, AlbionVC, and CMCC Global, bringing OpenTrade’s total funding to $11 million within six months.
The new capital will fuel OpenTrade’s growth in Latin America and Europe, where local currencies suffer from instability and traditional savings accounts offer minimal returns.
Offering up to 9% Yield on USD and EUR Holdings
OpenTrade’s “yield-as-a-service” platform enables fintechs, neobanks, and crypto exchanges to integrate real-world asset-backed yield products into their offerings. Users in high-inflation economies like Colombia and Argentina can now earn up to 9% interest on USD and EUR — significantly higher than the sub-1% yields offered by local banks.
For example, in Colombia, where dollar accounts often pay just 0.4% APR, platforms like Littio use OpenTrade’s infrastructure to offer users returns of up to 6%. Similarly, Spanish fintech Criptan leverages OpenTrade’s backend to serve European clients seeking stronger alternatives to traditional savings.
Strong Traction and Growing Assets
- $47 million in assets managed
- $200 million in transaction volume processed
- 20% month-over-month growth in platform activity
These figures reflect growing user demand and expanding institutional trust in stablecoin-backed financial infrastructure.
Stablecoins and Fintech: A Powerful Combination
With the global stablecoin market cap exceeding $240 billion, OpenTrade is positioning itself at the intersection of DeFi innovation and fintech infrastructure. The company’s services cater to a rising class of consumers and developers seeking to bridge crypto’s efficiency with the real economy.
According to investors, OpenTrade is building the core financial layer for the next generation of decentralized and mobile-first banking.
Conclusion: A Solid Foundation for Yield Access
OpenTrade’s model brings yield accessibility to underserved regions, giving users in unstable economies a practical, secure way to protect and grow their capital. As the platform scales, its impact on how global users engage with digital dollars and euros is likely to grow — challenging the traditional banking model across multiple continents.
