Funding to Accelerate COCA’s Growth and Deepen Integration with the Stellar Ecosystem
March 2025 – COCA.xyz, the next-generation non-custodial payments app, has successfully completed a strategic funding round led by the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), with participation from FunFair Ventures. This investment will accelerate COCA’s mission to make stablecoin payments seamless, secure, and accessible to a global audience, bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain-powered transactions.
With over 1 million users since its launch a year ago, COCA wallet is proving that stablecoins are a game-changer for payments. Unlike traditional wallets that are complex and difficult to use, COCA is built for mass-market adoption, removing barriers such as private key risks, expensive fees, and limited merchant acceptance. By integrating with the Stellar network, COCA users can pay with stablecoins at over 80 million merchants across 200+ countries using COCA’s non-custodial Visa debit cards and IBANs.
“This investment is not just financial; it’s a strategic milestone,” said Pavel Matveev, Product Advisor at COCA. “COCA and Stellar Development Foundation share the same vision—making everyday financial services accessible. Leveraging stablecoins to make payments increases accessibility for people around the globe.. With Stellar’s support, we will scale faster, enhance our platform, and deepen our integration with the Stellar ecosystem, including MoneyGram for global remittances, first-class support for Soroban smart contracts, and partnerships with other Stellar-based projects.”
“Stablecoins are powering payments and driving adoption of blockchain technology and opening up economic opportunities for hundreds of millions of people across the world, said Denelle Dixon, CEO & Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation. “COCA’s approach will power the growth of stablecoin payments because of their user-friendly, non-custodial approach. The Stellar Development Foundation is proud to support COCA.”
