The only stablecoin platform focused exclusively on payments companies, built by former payments executives. Everything a payments company needs in one API.
Weโre excited to announce our $20M Series A to build the stablecoin backbone for the payments industry.๐
โI spent over 50 years building the rails of todayโs payments. Iโve been looking for the opportunity to invest in the platform that will power the next 50. Weโre betting on Cyclops to be that platform.โ said Javier Perez, Founder & Managing Partner of Global PayTech Ventures.

Cyclops co-founder, Alex Wilson predicts the moment when stablecoins actually go mainstream:
"In five to 10 years, stablecoins are just how money is moved and we stop even calling it stablecoins. Because it's been so easy to move, it's kind of completely abstracted away. That's when it's really gone mainstream. When we stop even talking about the word stablecoins and crypto because it's just how the money's moving."
"If you look at most research reports, it's maybe 1% of money movement today is on stablecoin rails. So it's still very, very early."
"We're very bullish, and we think that quickly becomes 3, 4, 5% and eventually 10% and higher. But these systems exist in parallel for a really long time. This isn't just going to replace the traditional system overnight. It's going to be another 5, 10 years before you really see 10% of money moved on stablecoin rails."
"People also underestimate just how big this kind of dam is in this market. This is trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars. Even if you just talk about the payments companies we're going after, that's hundreds of trillions a year in payments volume we're trying to tap into."
