XBO Ventures, the investment arm of XBO.com, has invested $25M in the $500M Series F financing round of Rapyd, a global fintech platform enabling cross-border payments and financial services. The investment provides XBO Ventures and its portfolio companies with priority access to Rapyd’s global suite of fintech and payments infrastructure, allowing XBO Ventures to integrate advanced financial solutions at scale.
Other investors included Target Global, BlackRock Funds, General Catalyst, Fidelity Management and Research Company, Altimeter Capital, Whale Rock Capital, Dragoneer, Latitude, Durable Capital Partners, Tal Capital, Avid Ventures, and Spark Capital.
This strategic $25M investment strengthens XBO Ventures’ position in the financial technology space and aligns with its mission to support infrastructure-driven solutions in the digital economy. Through this investment, XBO.com, the cryptocurrency exchange associated with XBO Ventures, has been integrating solutions such as liquidity services, crypto payment processing, and Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) offerings into the Rapyd ecosystem. These include deep liquidity pools, OTC trading, market making, fiat on/off ramps with IBAN integration, secure custodian solutions, and corporate wallet management tools. The partnership is designed for the long term and is expected to bring significant benefits for both sides, including providing XBO.com’s clients with a fast-tracked onboarding process to Rapyd’s global infrastructure.
“Our investment allows us to offer our clients a direct and accelerated path into one of the most advanced fintech ecosystems in the world,” said Lior Aizik, Co-founder and COO at XBO.com. “By bringing XBO.com’s crypto payment processing solutions into Rapyd’s global infrastructure, we are creating a bridge between digital assets and traditional finance, ensuring that Web3 projects and users benefit from secure, innovative, reliable, and accessible payment solutions.”
XBO Venture hopes to leverage the investment to accelerate access to embedded finance and payment solutions for crypto-native companies and startups seeking to expand their global reach. Rapyd is also preparing to launch additional developments in the Web3 space, offering capabilities that create new use cases across cross-border payments, DeFi applications, and embedded finance.
The partnership with Rapyd is one of several major initiatives aimed at building a next-generation financial platform rooted in accessibility, security, and speed.
