Dtcpay, a Singapore-based payment, announced Friday the extension of its $25 million Series A funding round with SBI Group as its strategic investor.
The firm said in a statement the round which was led by Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia & India in April 2026, is now further anchored by the Japan’s financial conglomerate, which is investing both through its subsidiary, SBI Ventures Asset Pte Ltd, and through the SBI-NTU-Kyobo Digital Innovation Fund.
The round also drew participation from Genedant Capital and existing investor, Kwee Liong Tek, a prominent Singaporean business leader.
This additional fundraise enables dtcpay to maintain its pace of execution, scaling its product suite and merchant network while extending its lead in stablecoin payments.
It continues to invest in its product roadmap through the remaining half of 2026, including a revamped business portal for enterprise clients and a series of new consumer-friendly features rolled out within the dtcpay app.
The completion of the Series A also brings together a diverse group of investors whose collective expertise spans traditional finance, fintech infrastructure, and global market expansion.
Beyond capital, these investors contribute strategic network and domain expertise that will help support the company’s next phase of growth.
Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia & India, part of Vertex Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings, led the initial tranche of the round.
In addition to capital, Vertex brings extensive experience scaling technology companies, providing valuable strategic guidance rooted in deep Southeast Asian market expertise.
SBI Group adds a compelling financial service and fintech pedigree to the shareholder base. As one of Japan’s largest financial services groups, SBI operates across banking, securities, insurance, asset management, and digital assets. It has also been among the most active institutional investors in fintech and digital asset infrastructure globally.
Completing the investor group is Genedant Capital, a Singapore-based fund management firm licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore with over USD 2 billion in assets under management and advisory, and existing investor, Kwee Liong Tek.
Genedant Capital brings in a network of family offices, private wealth investors and institutional relationships across Asia, strengthening access to strategic capital as dtcpay scales internationally.
Kwee continues to increase his commitment, reflecting his long-term conviction in the company’s vision of bringing regulated digital payment infrastructure to global markets.
“SBI Group has spent decades shaping financial infrastructure across Japan and beyond, from banking and securities to blockchain and digital assets, and their conviction in dtcpay is validation that compliant, real-world stablecoin payments are not a distant vision but an infrastructure being built right now,
“Combined with the enduring trust of Kwee and the support of Genedant Capital, we have the capital, the network, and the momentum to move into every market that is ready for this change. And we are just getting started.” said Alice Liu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of dtcpay.
Band Zhao, Group Chairman of dtcpay, said the next chapter for dtcpay is about scale.
“We are strengthening our infrastructure, deepening partnerships with global financial institutions, and expanding into new regulated markets to make stablecoin payments as seamless and trusted as traditional payment rails,
“With the backing of our investors, we are accelerating our mission to build the financial infrastructure that enables businesses and consumers to move value globally, instantly, and compliantly,” he added.
Eiichiro So, CEO of SBI Ven Capital, said this investment marks the beginning of a strategic partnership with dtcpay.
“It also reflects our broader view to expand the global corridor for digital asset origination between Japan and Southeast Asia through trusted, regulated digital financial infrastructure,” he added.
Meanwhile, Quek How Jiang, Chief Executive Officer of Genedant Capital, sees dtcpay is building the regulated infrastructure that will bring stablecoin payments into everyday commerce.
“Beyond capital, we look forward to leveraging our network of strategic investors, industry leaders and institutional relationships to support the company’s commercial expansion and international growth,” he added.
