XBO Ventures is the investment arm of crypto exchange XBO.com. It has made a bold move by investing $25 million in Rapyd’s $500 million Series F round.
Rapyd is a global platform that makes cross-border payments and financial services easier. This deal opens the door for XBO Ventures and its portfolio companies to tap directly into its powerful infrastructure.
Priority Access to a Global Fintech Network
By joining forces with Rapyd, XBO Ventures gains priority access to advanced financial tools used by major businesses worldwide. This includes services like payment processing, secure custody for digital assets, and corporate wallet management. It also covers fiat on/off ramps that help users move between traditional money and cryptocurrencies. For example, a Web3 gaming startup in Europe can now integrate these services at scale. This gives players seamless options to pay with crypto or fiat without dealing with the usual red tape.
The investor list alongside XBO Ventures is a who’s who of finance, including Target Global, BlackRock Funds, Fidelity Management, and General Catalyst. Their participation highlights a growing trend: big capital is betting on companies that provide the “invisible pipes” of the financial system. According to a recent McKinsey report, global payments revenue is expected to surpass $3 trillion by 2027, and infrastructure providers like Rapyd are at the center of that growth.
Building a Bridge Between Crypto and Traditional Finance
This partnership also helps XBO.com accelerate the rollout of its own services, such as liquidity pools, market making, and Crypto-as-a-Service solutions. In practice, this means faster onboarding and stronger support for startups that want to launch projects without reinventing the wheel. “Our investment allows us to offer 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.
Rapyd is preparing to expand further into Web3, exploring use cases in decentralized finance (DeFi) and embedded finance. These efforts reflect a wider industry push to bring crypto closer to mainstream financial systems, ensuring that businesses and consumers alike enjoy faster, safer, and more flexible payment options.
