Hong Kong-based virtual asset payment platform RedotPay has begun an aggressive push to dominate the global stablecoin payments market by seeking to raise $1 billion through a U.S. stock market listing.

According to crypto media outlet CoinGape on February 24 (local time), RedotPay is pursuing an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States to raise large-scale capital aimed at global business expansion and technological advancement. The IPO effort is drawing added attention as it coincides with Hong Kong’s move to overhaul its stablecoin regulatory framework in a bid to become a global virtual asset hub. RedotPay plans to allocate the funds raised toward strengthening regulatory compliance capabilities and expanding partnerships.

RedotPay has grown rapidly by serving as a bridge that enables virtual assets to be used for everyday payments. The company has solidified its market presence by offering services that allow major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) to be used for card payments. In particular, strong liquidity secured in the Asian market, backed by Hong Kong’s clear and supportive virtual asset policies, has served as a key driver behind its U.S. listing initiative.

As the Hong Kong government is expected to implement a licensing regime for stablecoin issuers within the first half of this year, RedotPay’s move symbolizes its entry into the institutional financial system. Through a U.S. listing, the company aims to gain the trust of institutional investors and preemptively establish a global standard for stablecoin-based payment systems. The $1 billion target is considered unusually large even among global virtual asset payment firms.

Approval procedures and regulatory compliance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are seen as key variables determining the success of the listing. RedotPay has already obtained global security certifications and strengthened anti-money laundering regulations as part of its pre-IPO preparations. By combining support from Hong Kong with the capital power of the U.S. market, the company’s ultimate goal is to build an environment where virtual assets can be used for payments anywhere in the world.

RedotPay’s push for a U.S. IPO is expected to mark a significant milestone as Hong Kong-based virtual asset companies enter the mainstream of global financial markets. If the $1 billion capital injection is achieved, RedotPay will lay the foundation for building its own stablecoin ecosystem beyond existing payment networks. As a major shift looms in the virtual asset payments market, the global financial industry is closely watching whether RedotPay will successfully debut on the U.S. stock market.
