About BlindPay
BlindPay provides a stablecoin payments API that connects USDC and USDT to Latin American instant payment systems. Merchants call one REST API and set of SDKs: on payout the sender approves a transfer from their own wallet, the platform converts at a quote into reais, pesos or other local currency and delivers over Pix, SPEI, PSE, ACH or SWIFT; on collection it opens named virtual accounts that convert incoming dollars into stablecoin and route it to a specified address. KYC, KYB, sanctions screening and travel-rule checks run before funds move, the on-chain leg stays non-custodial, and failed fiat legs return funds to the originating wallet.
Customers are fintechs, cross-border merchants and employers paying into Latin America, and the product set combines payouts, virtual accounts and compliance, with the receive amount locked before execution. Compared with enterprise-account providers such as BVNK it does not hold client balances or issue cards, focusing on the last mile of local clearing. Coverage centres on Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and the United States, extends into the euro area through SEPA, and other corridors still rely on local partner banks and payment institutions.
In June 2026, BlindPay extended SEPA payments across multiple public chains. In August its Payables product went live, enabling stablecoin payment of invoices, boletos, PIX and tax bills. On September 18, Yield and ACH pull entered private beta for enterprise payables and treasury automation.
Future strategy and roadmap: BlindPay will keep expanding multi-chain stablecoin payments and automated settlement, refine enterprise Payables and cash-flow tooling, and advance bank connectivity and compliance access.

BlindPay (YC W25), a stablecoin payment API startup, has seen a significant team change: Co-founder & CTO Gabriel Miranda Lyra departed in May 2026, after co-founding the company in May 2024. During his tenure, he led engineering from zero crypto knowledge to processing $2.5B in annualized TPV with a lean team. His departure marks a major leadership transition as the company continues scaling its global payment infrastructure.
BlindPay is authorized in Brazil as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) — a registration for businesses that exchange, transfer or custody virtual currencies — under Central Bank of Brazil Resolution No. 520/2025's transitional regime, covering stablecoin-to-fiat payouts such as USDC to BRL.
