RedotPay denies Binance's $470M poaching claims and cites a deal that barred card top-ups, ahead of Friday's Singapore hearing on a related suit.
RedotPay said it will "vigorously" defend itself against a $470 million lawsuit filed by Binance affiliates that accuses the stablecoin payment card issuer of poaching 470,000 users. The Hong Kong-based company, which calls itself the world's largest stablecoin payment card issuer, denied the allegations in a statement Wednesday.
"RedotPay is aware of legal proceedings initiated by Binance and will vigorously defend all claims," the firm said. "The Company rejects the unfounded allegations made against it and its co-founders."
Binance affiliates filed the suit against RedotPay's co-founders, Bloomberg reported, alleging the company diverted nearly half a million customers from Binance to its own platform and caused nearly $473 million in losses. In the filing, Binance said: "Since March 2026, the Binance Group has discovered that RedotPay Group had been allowing and encouraging Binance Pay funds to be used, without segregation, for the prohibited use within RedotPay, including card top-ups for RedotPay Card."
A Binance spokesperson said the exchange does not comment on ongoing litigation. "Where necessary we will use courts and other forums to pursue what is right," the spokesperson said.
The two companies first signed a commercial agreement in November 2023. It ended less than six months later, after Binance alleged its funds had been used to top up RedotPay prepaid cards. A second agreement, signed in March 2025, required Binance funds to be kept separate. Binance customers could convert crypto to fiat and buy RedotPay-branded goods. They could also make in-app transfers. Card top-ups were barred. The deal gave RedotPay access to Binance users and made Binance's payment services available across RedotPay's network, the filing said. Binance ended the agreement in April 2026, saying only that the decision was part of its merchant partner review.
RedotPay is planning a U.S. initial public offering that could raise more than $1 billion at a potential $4 billion valuation, according to Bloomberg.
The legal fight extends to Singapore, where Binance's Chaintecs unit sued RedotPay affiliates. A hearing is scheduled Friday, according to the Singapore Courts hearing list.
