OpenTrade secures $17M in strategic funding to scale its stablecoin yield infrastructure

OpenTrade, a
stablecoin yield infrastructure platform used by fintechs and exchanges, has
raised $17 million in a strategic funding round led by Mercury Fund and Notion Capital, with participation from a16z Crypto, AlbionVC, and CMCC Global. The
round brings the company’s total funding to over $30 million.

The raise comes as
the global stablecoin market surpasses $300 billion in supply, driving demand
for infrastructure that enables secure and scalable yield generation. OpenTrade
provides plug-and-play solutions that allow fintechs, neobanks, and exchanges
to offer dollar- and euro-denominated yield products backed by real-world
assets, without building their own investment or custody systems.

Since its launch, the
platform has gained traction with partners such as Littio, Midas Kripto, and
Glim. It has surpassed $200 million in total value locked and processed more
than $250 million in transaction volume in 2025, reflecting growing adoption
across both retail and institutional use cases.

As demand has
evolved, OpenTrade has expanded beyond its core infrastructure to include a
permissionless protocol layer and Curation+, a suite of vault curation services
designed for more complex, institutional-grade strategies across real-world and
on-chain assets. These capabilities enable asset issuers, non-custodial
platforms, and treasuries to access diversified yield strategies without
managing underlying operational complexity.

David Sutter,
co-founder and CEO of OpenTrade, said the company has simplified how fintechs
and neobanks integrate institutional-grade stablecoin yield into their
offerings:

As we grew, it
became clear that our infrastructure could also serve non-custodial platforms,
treasuries, and asset issuers that all need the same thing: a safe, scalable
way to connect stablecoins to diversified yield strategies.

The company has also
deployed its infrastructure as a permissionless protocol that issues
transferable, position-tracking tokens, with its first live implementation
through Sierra Protocol. In parallel, Curation+ formalises its investment
strategy services, combining regulated asset management oversight with active
portfolio design and execution.

The newly raised
capital will be used to expand OpenTrade’s infrastructure, further develop its
Curation+ services, and grow its engineering, asset management, and customer
success teams as it scales globally.
