RedotPay expects Binance to drop Singapore case after Aug. 7 hearing; Binance denies it. The $473M Hong Kong lawsuit alleges user diversion.
Binance and RedotPay gave conflicting accounts of the status of a Singapore lawsuit tied to their broader legal fight over a stablecoin card partnership.
RedotPay said on Tuesday it expects Binance to discontinue the Singapore proceedings after an Aug. 7 hearing. The company plans to seek legal costs from the claimant, a RedotPay spokesperson told Cointelegraph.
Binance rejected that characterization. “Reports that Binance will be withdrawing its Singapore claims are false,” a Binance spokesperson said. The company is not abandoning its claims and has informed the court and RedotPay accordingly, the spokesperson added.
The Singapore case is one of two legal fronts. In Hong Kong, a petition was filed against RedotPay’s co-founders by Binance affiliates Nest Trading and DistributedTechnologies, Bloomberg reported Aug. 5. Chaintecs Consulting Singapore also joined the action. The plaintiffs allege RedotPay diverted more than 470,000 Binance Card users by allowing Binance Pay funds to be used for stablecoin card top-ups outside the terms of a commercial agreement. They estimated damages at $472.8 million, based on a claimed lifetime customer value of $925 per user.
RedotPay called the allegations “unfounded” and said it would defend the claims through the legal process.
The commercial relationship between the two sides predates the dispute. RedotPay announced its Binance Pay integration in December 2023, letting users deposit directly to RedotPay cards. Binance ended support for the integration on April 3, 2026, citing a merchant partner review. The legal fight became public months later.
The Aug. 7 hearing in Singapore will determine whether Binance proceeds with its claims there. If RedotPay's expectation holds, the company would seek costs from Binance, potentially adding a financial penalty on top of the Hong Kong damages fight. If Binance's position prevails, the Singapore proceedings continue, keeping the legal pressure on RedotPay across two jurisdictions.
The outcome also matters for the broader stablecoin card market. RedotPay operates as a payments issuer in a space where partnerships with major exchanges like Binance are critical for user acquisition. A drawn-out legal battle could deter other exchange partners or complicate RedotPay's regulatory standing. For Binance, abandoning the Singapore case would remove a legal front but might weaken its negotiating position in the Hong Kong suit.
The Singapore hearing is scheduled for Aug. 7.
