About Lightnet
Lightnet is a Singapore-based fintech company operating a licensed global settlement network. Its core business covers cross-border payments, FX and liquidity management, and digital asset on/off-ramps. The company connects banks, fintechs, and Web3 businesses on one regulated network, supporting 150+ currencies and 200k+ merchants. Lightnet addresses the pain points of slow, opaque, and costly cross-border transactions by providing real-time settlement, full traceability, and configurable workflows. It operates under regulatory frameworks in multiple jurisdictions, including Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. In the past six months, Lightnet has been exploring collaboration with KuCoin to advance digital asset and payment infrastructure across Southeast Asia, focusing on integrating crypto liquidity with traditional payment corridors. No significant negative events have been reported in the recent period.
Lightnet, a Singapore-based fintech under CP Group, has hit key milestones. It became the first fintech to complete Thailand's regulatory sandbox, validating the compliance of stablecoin cross-border payments. In 2024, its platform processed over $15 billion in transactions, serving 100+ financial institutions and 200,000+ merchants across 150+ countries, cementing its lead in global stablecoin settlement. Additionally, a $5 million strategic investment from Yisou Technology aims to expand its RWA ecosystem, reinforcing its Web3-payment integration strategy.
In the past six months, Lightnet announced an exploratory strategic collaboration with KuCoin in April 2026, aiming to combine KuCoin's digital asset trading ecosystem with Lightnet's regulated cross-border payment network to advance digital asset infrastructure in Southeast Asia. The company stated that it will continue to explore long-term collaboration opportunities within regulatory frameworks, contributing to a more accessible, efficient, and inclusive digital financial ecosystem, while expanding its regulated network covering 150+ countries and deepening connections with banks, fintechs, and Web3 businesses.
