Takenos raises $7 million for expansion
Latin American stablecoin financial platform Takenos completed a $7 million seed extension led by North Island Ventures and Road Capital Management. Existing investors Variant, Lattice and Reverie also participated, bringing the company’s total funding to $12 million.
Founded in 2022, Takenos operates in six Latin American countries and processes more than $5 billion in transactions annually, according to the report. Its customers include global businesses such as LATAM Airlines.
The platform’s technology spans local payment rails, a consumer application, enterprise APIs and an institutional trading desk. Its partners include Stripe, Mastercard and Visa. The new funding is intended to support expansion to more than 15 countries in 2027.
Bloquo raises $3.7 million for stablecoin payment infrastructure
Brazilian cross-border payment platform Bloquo completed a $3.7 million seed round led by Crescera Capital and Triaxis Capital, with participation from Lattice Fund.
The company builds stablecoin-based financial infrastructure for banks and businesses. Its platform combines cross-border payments, foreign-exchange trading and liquidity provision, supports stablecoins including USDC and USDT, and can be accessed through an API or dashboard.
PANews reported that Bloquo is registered with the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, as a money services business. It has also applied to Brazil’s central bank for registration as a virtual asset broker; the report did not state that this application had been approved.
Yellow Card acquires GoMoney to enter Brazil
According to a Yellow Card announcement cited by PANews, the stablecoin payment provider completed its acquisition of Brazilian virtual asset service provider GoMoney in October 2026. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in São Paulo, GoMoney will remain under its founding team’s management as a wholly owned Yellow Card subsidiary.
The acquisition gives Yellow Card its first direct operations in Brazil. It enables local Brazilian real payment collection and disbursement, including through Pix, with settlement in stablecoins.
GoMoney has applied to Brazil’s central bank for a virtual asset service provider licence. According to the report, it continues to operate under transitional arrangements while the application is reviewed.
