The capital will be used to strengthen the company’s balance sheet and support expansion across its financial infrastructure platform. Planned uses include investment in technology, hiring, regulatory compliance, and licensing as the company scales its operations.
Following the transaction, OpenPayd plans to expand its presence in the United States and continue developing its regulatory and product capabilities.
OpenPayd operates a financial infrastructure platform that connects traditional banking systems with digital asset networks through a single API.
The company operates across regulatory frameworks in the United States, United Kingdom, European Economic Area, Canada, and South Africa and is integrated with global payment rails, banks, and stablecoin issuers.
It serves more than 1,100 customers across 180 countries, including eToro and Kraken. The company reports over $85 million in annualized recurring revenue and processes approximately $240 billion in annualized transaction volume.
The merger has already been approved by both companies’ boards. It still requires regulatory clearance and approval from Titan shareholders, with completion targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026.
Expansion Plans Following the Merger
OpenPayd provides embedded accounts, foreign exchange services, domestic and cross-border payments, Open Banking integrations, and stablecoin on- and off-ramps.
Founder Ozan Ozerk said the company is building infrastructure to support more automated financial systems, where transactions can be executed in real time across connected financial networks.
“We believe the next decade of finance will not be defined by faster cards or cheaper wires — it will be defined by money that moves on its own,” Ozerk noted. “Autonomous agents are already making decisions; the infrastructure beneath them must keep pace.”
He said OpenPayd aims to act as infrastructure connecting traditional financial systems with blockchain-based networks, enabling automated systems to make transactions more easily and in real time.
Strategic Capital Use and US Expansion
Proceeds from the transaction are expected to strengthen OpenPayd’s balance sheet and support expansion, particularly in the United States. The company plans to invest in regulatory licensing, product development, and geographic scaling as demand rises for unified fiat-to-crypto infrastructure.
Management also framed the listing as a step toward enabling “programmable money movement” and agent-driven financial transactions, reflecting broader industry interest in automated payment systems.
Why This Matters
The transaction highlights continued investor interest in financial infrastructure companies operating at the intersection of traditional banking and digital assets, particularly in stablecoin-based settlement systems.
