Ripple & Circle Drop Staggering Wads of Cash on Tazapay’s Doormat! 💰

by

The word from the financial spires, whispered over brandy and cigars, is that a certain cross-border payment platform, one Tazapay, has been ambushed by a positive blizzard of cash from the heavy brigades of Ripple and Circle Ventures. The whole splendid operation was masterminded by the old firm of Peak XV Partners.

A Bounty to Conquer the Globe (Financially Speaking) 🗺️

In a move that caused a positive flutter in the dovecotes of high finance, Ripple and the chaps at Circle Ventures have piled into the fiscal punt known as Tazapay’s Series B. The whole shebang was led, with typical élan, by Peak XV Partners. Not to be left out of the jamboree, two very serious Japanese money-houses, Norinchukin Capital and GMO Venture Partners, and a couple of the old guard, January Capital and ARC180, also chucked their hats-and, more importantly, their cheque-books-into the ring.

According to a communiqué issued to the press (a notoriously excitable bunch), Tazapay, which already possesses the necessary paperwork to operate in such outposts as Singapore, Canada, and the EU, intends to use this sudden surplus of funds to acquire even more paperwork in other global markets. Their top banana, a Mr. Rahul Shinghal, painted a picture of a future where his outfit becomes a sort of Jeeves of the financial world, sorting out the messy business of payouts on these new-fangled “rails”.

“We’re entering the next chapter of our journey,” he stated, presumably while adjusting his cravat, “one where modern payment technologies, regulatory compliance, and partnerships with global leaders will enable the future of cross-border commerce. With this round, we are not just capitalizing the business; we are investing in our long-term vision to become the builder of a global payment collection and payout infrastructure built on modern rails.” A vision, one must concede, that is considerably easier to realize when one is sitting on a pot of money the size of a small hill.

The esteemed CEO also let slip that a primary function of this infrastructure is to act as a sort of respectable butler for stablecoins in the less orderly emerging markets-introducing them to polite society, as it were.

Eric Jeck, a high panjandrum at Ripple, hailed Tazapay as “a clear leader” in the frankly terrifying-sounding “race to build essential but compliant last-mile connections.” One pictures a particularly well-dressed and punctual chariot race. “We’re proud to invest in Tazapay in this next phase of their growth,” Jeck beamed, “and together provide best-in-class payment solutions in key regions such as APAC.” A noble aim, and one no doubt made simpler by the application of great wodges of capital. 💸

Meanwhile, the investments from the two Japanese firms are expected to give Tazapay a rocket-powered boost into the Land of the Rising Sun. Utilizing these new, well-connected acquaintances, Tazapay plans to enable all manner of local Japanese payment methods and assemble a crack sales team to help the local enterprises scale internationally. A sound strategy, and one that is infinitely preferable to just shouting about it from the street.
