Obita, a Hong Kong-based fintech startup founded by Vincent YANG and Dayong Zhang, has successfully closed an angel funding round exceeding $10 million, co-led by Vision Plus Capital and Mirana Ventures, alongside investments from Legend Capital, HashKey Capital, and Web3.com Ventures. This strategic capital injection will fuel the development and global expansion of its flagship blockchain-native infrastructure, Obita Mesh, engineered to revolutionize how cross-border payments operate.

Bridging Traditional Finance and Stablecoin Innovation

Built atop compliant stablecoin architecture, Obita Mesh intends to eliminate costly foreign exchange fees, speed up settlements, and bring transparency to fund flows. The platform combines enterprise-grade compliance systems, unified treasury management tools, and robust cross-border clearing networks - designed to meet the needs of global B2B trade, e-commerce, and supply chain platforms. Obita initially targets high-growth markets across Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

What makes Obita’s strategy fascinating is not just the technology, but the way it has been built. Instead of treating compliance as an external checkbox, the founders embedded it as a core product feature. By doing so, they didn’t just avoid regulatory bottlenecks - they turned compliance into a growth driver. This is a powerful reminder for founders: when a startup bakes regulatory clarity into its DNA, it stops playing defense and starts playing offense. It’s no longer about getting permission; it’s about becoming indispensable to regulators and institutions alike. The real insight here is that the next wave of unicorns won’t win just by moving fast - they’ll win by making the system safer for others to move faster around them.

Institutional Credibility Catalyzes Growth

The investor line-up behind this round is telling. Vision Plus Capital and Mirana Ventures bring both capital and deep regional networks; Legend Capital, HashKey Capital, and Web3.com Ventures further strengthen Obita’s fintech credibility and global outreach. With this reinforcing ecosystem of strategic backers, Obita gains access, legitimacy, and the ability to move quickly without sacrificing compliance or trust.

Capital Deployed for Strategic Impact

Obita will allocate the newly raised funds toward system R&D, scaling its compliance infrastructure, and rolling out Mesh across core markets. With growing clarity around global stablecoin regulation, Obita Mesh is poised to reach enterprises eager for faster, more transparent, and legally sound cross-border payment options.

Why Obita’s Model Matters in 2025

Cross-border payments have been stuck in an inefficiency loop - high costs, slow transfers, and opaque processes have long haunted global commerce. Obita’s model breaks this pattern by offering real-time, secure, and transparent settlement, all built into an enterprise-ready, compliant layer. This is a turning point - not just for Obita, but for stablecoin’s role in reshaping global payments infrastructure.

By integrating stablecoins not as standalone instruments but as transparent, regulatory-friendly rails, Obita aligns innovation with institutional needs. Its Mesh framework could bridge Web2 finance with Web3's efficiencies - potentially transforming how companies move money across borders.

What’s Next on Obita’s Roadmap

Looking forward, Obita plans to:

• Build out its compliance infrastructure with real-time monitoring and automated regulatory reporting.
  
• Expand Obita Mesh into Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
  
• Form partnerships with fintechs, trade platforms, and enterprises needing dependable cross-border payments.
  
• Continue R&D for enterprise-grade features tailored to trade, e-commerce, and supply chain finance.
  

With the $10 million backing, Obita isn't just building infrastructure - it’s embedding itself into the fabric of global payments innovation at precisely the moment regulation and tech are converging.
