OpenTrade raises $17M to scale stablecoin yield infrastructure

OpenTrade, a London-based stablecoin yield infrastructure provider used by fintechs and exchanges, has raised $17 million in a strategic funding round announced on May 6, 2026. The investment was led by Mercury Fund and Notion Capital, with participation from a16z Crypto, AlbionVC, and CMCC Global. The new capital brings OpenTrade’s total funding to more than $30 million and follows earlier rounds, including a $7 million raise in June 2025 and a $4 million seed round in November 2024.

The company operates institutional-grade on-chain and real-world asset–backed lending alongside stablecoin yield products, enabling partners to offer dollar- and euro-denominated yield solutions without building their own investment or custody systems. Management plans to use the fresh capital to scale both its permissioned and permissionless yield infrastructure, expand its Curation+ services, and grow engineering, asset management, trading, and customer success teams as it targets global growth. The raise reflects accelerating demand for stablecoin-based yield products and positions OpenTrade as a key infrastructure provider connecting fintech distribution with real-world asset yield.
