We’re excited to announce our $20M Series A to build the stablecoin backbone for the payments industry.🚀 “I spent over 50 years building the rails of today’s payments. I’ve been looking for the opportunity to invest in the platform that will power the next 50. We’re betting on Cyclops to be that platform.” said Javier Perez, Founder & Managing Partner of Global PayTech Ventures. Cyclops is the first and only platform allowing payments companies to plug into and orchestrate across all of the leading stablecoin providers at every level of the stack, in every corridor. With over 100 global licenses, and all the top solutions offered through a single API, Cyclops is the most redundant, agile and efficient offering in the market. This round was led by @NavaVentures(Kevin Chenault) with participation from Global PayTech Ventures, @coinbase Ventures, @Circle Ventures, @CastleIslandVC, @FPrimeCapital, Lasagna and @openfx_.

Most payments companies scope the visible layer of stablecoin infrastructure (add stablecoins at checkout, pick a chain, spin up wallets) and miss the operational layer underneath. Custody, compliance, routing and reconciliation. That's where most builds stall. Our latest blog breaks down the build vs. partner decision for stablecoin infrastructure and why, for most payments companies, building everything in-house isn't the clean option it looks like. ⏱️💲 Read it here → cyclops.io/post/the-build-vs…

Banks are no longer watching stablecoins from the sidelines. 🏦 A US national bank launched one to 15 million consumers. Japan's three biggest banks are building one together.

In this article from PaymentsJournal, analyst Joel Hugentobler of Javelin Strategy & Research explains that "infrastructure fragmentation becomes a real part of the payment economics." That's the gap Cyclops closes: on/off ramping, orchestration, wallet infrastructure, licensing and compliance all through one API, so payments platforms aren't absorbing that fragmentation cost themselves.

Most payments companies focus on the headline fee when evaluating stablecoin infrastructure. The FX spread embedded in every conversion is harder to see, and often more significant. Our latest blog breaks down why single-provider dependency can be expensive and what transparent, optimized routing should look like. Read it here 👉 cyclops.io/post/the-hidden-c…

Alex Wilson has already built and exited one crypto startup. Now he's at it again. After co-founding The Giving Block and selling it to @Shift4 in 2021, @AlexWilsonTGB spent four years leading crypto at the payments company before leaving to launch Miami-based Cyclops.  Less than a year in, @Cyclops_inc has raised $28 million and grown to more than 30 employees, with a mission to change how money moves around the world. Hear his story and what the future of money movement looks like in our latest episode of the Miami Tech Pod, out now 🎧  miamitechpod.com/this-exited…

Last week, some of the Cyclops team got together in Miami for in-person time, and it didn't disappoint! 🎉 We welcomed a few new team members, had great heads-down working sessions and even snuck in a few rounds of mini golf. ⛳ 🏌 We topped it off with a happy hour alongside some of our friends in payments. Thank you to everyone who came out, this community is what makes the work fun. 🫶

Eight years since our team started building in this space, from our founders to our devs and everyone in between. 🚀 Eight years learning crypto, stablecoins and payments from the inside, across a few very different chapters that all led here.
