edotPay’s IPO case rests on revenue, products, and demand

• As of November 2025, edotPay had more than 6 million registered users, plus over $150 million in annualized revenue and claimed profitability 1.
• Its lineup includes a card for spending digital assets, along with stablecoin-powered global payouts that connect crypto with traditional finance 2.
• Adoption comes from places with high inflation or limited banking access, where stablecoins help preserve value and support cross-border payments 3.
• For public-market credibility, edotPay works with Cactus Custody (a crypto custody provider that offers insured storage of digital assets) for insured asset storage 4 and Elliptic (a blockchain analytics firm used to help detect illicit crypto activity) for anti-money laundering compliance 5.

A US listing could bring more funding as Hong Kong tightens stablecoin rules

• The possible US IPO comes ahead of Hong Kong’s new stablecoin licensing regime starting August 1, 2025, which adds requirements for stablecoin issuers and certain marketing activities 6.
• The Hong Kong Monetary Authority expects only a handful of licences at first, which raises the bar for stablecoin-focused firms aiming to operate under the regime 7.
• A US listing could raise over $1 billion, which would support global expansion while the company works through licensing steps across markets.
• The approach offers a model for Asian crypto firms that want access to larger US capital pools and reduced exposure to local regulatory swings.
