Stablecoins are coming out of the crypto niches and into the global spotlight of finance. Into that energy, Agora has announced a game-changing $50 million Series A funding round, and white-labeled stablecoin platform that could shake up how businesses of all types interact with digital dollars.

Backed by some of crypto’s biggest investors including Paradigm and Dragonfly, Agora is developing a full-stack infrastructure solution for issuing/regulating stablecoins and enabling their integration on blockchains, exchanges and in fiat systems.

$50 Million to Reshape Stablecoin Infrastructure

The funding round for Agora comes at a critical time for the stablecoin market, as regulatory guidelines become more clear in leading jurisdictions and mainstream players such as Visa and PayPal accelerate blockchain-oriented payment initiatives.

Led by Paradigm, with Dragonfly Capital and others participating, the $50 million raise will further fuel Agora’s enhancement of its multi-chain, programmable stablecoin and expansion into new enterprise use cases.

According to Agora, the capital will be used to:

Scale liquidity across more networks and exchanges
Strengthen fiat on/off ramp integrations
Support regulatory compliance efforts in emerging jurisdictions
Accelerate adoption of AUSD and its new white-label solution

Nick van Eck, co-founder and CEO of Agora (and son of asset management veteran Jan van Eck), emphasized the importance of programmable money for the next phase of digital finance:

“Stablecoins are becoming the foundation of global capital markets. We’re building infrastructure that abstracts the complexity and allows any fintech, protocol, or enterprise to launch, scale, and operate their own stablecoin seamlessly.”

Introducing White-Labeled Stablecoins as a Service

Agora’s most significant product reveal is a white-labeled stablecoin platform, enabling institutions and fintech companies to launch their own branded stablecoins in a matter of days—without building infrastructure, managing compliance, or maintaining liquidity.

What’s Included in Agora’s White-Label Offering?

With the new white-label platform, partners get:

Institution-grade custodianship and asset management
Deep onchain liquidity integrated across CEXs, DEXs, and 13 blockchain networks
A robust dashboard for monitoring and control
Built-in compliance architecture, ready for global regulation
Local fiat ramps, including FX channels and bank integrations
Zero minting fees when using USDC or USDT
Revenue and reward ownership stays with the issuer

This enables firms to circumvent traditional product constraints, expedite market entry into the stablecoin space and build programmable financial services without needing to redesign the underlying crypto stack.

It also eliminates major hurdles that have kept stablecoins mostly limited to a few players, such as Circle’s USDC or Tether’s USDT. Using Agora, any exchange, fintech company, payment platform, or DAO can create its digital dollar and own the entire experience from end to end.

AUSD Already Running on 13 Chains

Behind the white-label product is AUSD, Agora’s native programmable stablecoin, already live across a wide network of leading blockchains:

Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Sui, Immutable, Mantle, Injective, CoreDAO, Katana, and more.

This cross-chain presence allows Agora to deliver deep liquidity and composability, making it easy for partners to plug into existing DeFi and CeFi ecosystems.

In just one year, Agora has reached:

Tens of billions in cumulative onchain volume
50,000+ monthly active addresses
Support from dozens of clients, including Nonco, Flowdesk, VanEck, Conduit, Katana, and Plume Network

This sort of hypergrowth demonstrates the increasing appetite for flexible, programmable, and composable stablecoin primitives, particularly among institutional players.

Stablecoin Momentum Is Building Globally

Agora’s race is underway as governments and central banks grow more vocal about stablecoins. In the US, the GENIUS Act that passed the Senate in June 2025 would regulate the issuance and trading of stablecoins.

Elsewhere, when it comes to leading economies such as Singapore, the U.K., and the U.A.E., they are indeed developing licensing regimes for digital assets, including fiat-backed stablecoins.

The above changing needs are well thought to be addressed by the Agora infrastructure, assuming modular compliance frameworks to let issuers stretch across jurisdictions.

While AUSD is currently not accessible for U.S. users, Agora has confirmed it’s working on licensure so it can enter the U.S. market under the proper regulatory guardrails.

The Bigger Picture – Infrastructure, Not Just a Token

Unlike most stablecoin projects, which address one particular asset or ecosystem, Agora is developing the infrastructure layer that powers issuance and redemption, compliance, analytics, liquidity routing.

This mirrors a trend seen in other parts of Web3—where platforms are becoming modular service providers, enabling startups, banks, and protocols to leverage blockchain technology without developing from scratch.

For example:

Stripe recently expanded its crypto payouts with stablecoins
Visa is exploring stablecoin settlements across cross-border corridors
PayPal launched its own stablecoin, PYUSD, tied into its payment rails

Agora’s model positions it to be the “Stripe for stablecoins”, offering the backend infrastructure for programmable money in the same way Stripe offers APIs for online payments.
