Binance tells court it won't drop Singapore case. The $473 million dispute spans two jurisdictions, with the Hong Kong petition accusing RedotPay of diverting 470,000 card users.
Binance is not walking away from its legal fight with RedotPay. A RedotPay spokesperson said the company had expected Binance to drop the Singapore proceedings after an August 7 hearing and planned to seek legal costs from that process. Binance told both the court and RedotPay directly that its claims remain active, a person familiar with the matter said.
The Singapore case is one part of a broader legal conflict spanning two jurisdictions. The heavier action sits in Hong Kong, where three Binance-linked entities – Nest Trading, DistributedTechnologies, and Chaintecs Consulting Singapore – filed a petition accusing RedotPay's co-founders of diverting more than 470,000 Binance Card users. The allegations became public on August 5.
The plaintiffs claim RedotPay allowed users to tap Binance Pay funds to top up stablecoin cards, violating the terms of a commercial agreement between the parties. The estimated damages of $473 million were calculated using a claimed lifetime customer value of $925 per user. Chaintecs separately pursued related legal action in Singapore, which led directly to the August 7 hearing.
RedotPay called the claims baseless. The company said it intends to fight the allegations through the legal process.
The two companies were not always adversaries. RedotPay announced a partnership with Binance Pay in December 2023, using the integration to boost its card services. By April 3, 2026, Binance had ended that integration entirely, citing a review of its merchant collaborations. The termination came months before the lawsuits became public.
The core accusation is user diversion. The Binance-linked plaintiffs argue that RedotPay's co-founders actively redirected Binance Card users toward RedotPay's own stablecoin card top-up service, using Binance Pay funds in a way that allegedly broke the commercial agreement. The $925-per-user lifetime value figure is how the plaintiffs arrived at their damages estimate.
Running parallel legal proceedings in Hong Kong and Singapore adds procedural complexity – different courts, different rules, different timelines. Binance's decision to keep the Singapore case alive, rather than consolidate everything in Hong Kong, keeps pressure on RedotPay across multiple fronts simultaneously. Legal costs alone could be punishing for a smaller company.
RedotPay's plan to seek legal costs from the Singapore hearing is the most assertive move it can make right now. A win on costs in Singapore would not resolve the Hong Kong case, a RedotPay spokesperson acknowledged. The Hong Kong proceedings carry the real financial stakes.
No resolution looks close. The August 7 Singapore hearing came and went without the dismissal RedotPay expected. Next steps in both Hong Kong and Singapore remain unspecified in court filings reviewed so far.
