1 interview on Crypto Coin Show
OpenTrade is a London-based provider of stablecoin yield infrastructure for fintechs, neobanks, exchanges and wallets.
Its platform lets these businesses offer dollar and euro denominated yield products backed by real-world assets, without building their own investment, custody or operational systems. Capital is routed into tokenized vaults that allocate across real-world assets such as fixed-income instruments and selected on-chain strategies. The company was founded by Dave Sutter, Jeff Handler and Tom Niermann, who previously worked on USDC governance at Centre.
In May 2026 it raised $17M, led by Mercury Fund and Notion Capital with participation from a16z Crypto, AlbionVC and CMCC Global, bringing total funding to more than $30M. It reports having passed $300M in total value locked and more than $1B in transaction volume over the past 12 months. Named partners include Littio, Midas Kripto, Glim and Ontop.
