CoinPip

What CoinPip does

CoinPip is a Singapore-headquartered, privately held blockchain payments company founded in 2013 by CEO Anson Zeall. The company built a payment platform that uses Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) as the underlying settlement rail to enable cross-border money transfers for businesses, paying remote freelancers, and merchant payment acceptance. Its core product suite includes a JavaScript-based Bitcoin payment gateway for e-commerce websites, POS terminal integration for physical retail merchants, an international money transfer service, and a merchant back-office dashboard with automatic Bitcoin-to-fiat conversion. Enterprise clients receive free sub-account functionality for delegated payment management, payroll, and mass disbursements.

The company's go-to-market combines an API-first self-serve model for online merchants with direct sales to enterprises with international payment needs. CoinPip monetizes primarily through transaction fees on cross-border transfers and merchant payment processing; specific fee schedules are not publicly disclosed. Distribution operates across claimed coverage of 201 countries and territories, with documented operational presence in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. CoinPip was selected into 500 Startups Batch 11 (2014) and entered a strategic partnership with Infocorp in 2017 to combine public and private blockchain rails for financial inclusion among unbanked populations. The CEO holds prominent positions in Singapore's crypto and fintech ecosystem, including Chairman of ACCESS Singapore and committee membership in the Singapore FinTech Association.

A material observation: the company's current public website (coinpip.com) presents CoinPip primarily as a cryptocurrency news and education content property ("Your Guide to Crypto Economy"), with recent blog posts covering meme coin Telegram groups and crypto mining apps rather than its historical payment products. With only 1-10 employees and a single disclosed $100,000 funding event from 2014, the operational posture appears to have shifted away from actively scaling the payments platform toward content publishing, and no recent funding, hiring, or product launches are evidenced.

Core offering

CoinPip is a blockchain-based payment platform that uses cryptocurrency (primarily Bitcoin) as the underlying settlement rail to enable businesses to send and receive international payments and to accept crypto payments online and at point-of-sale. The platform processes cross-border transfers between bank accounts (e.g., SGD → BTC → local currency), handles automatic crypto-to-fiat conversion behind the scenes, and supports mass payouts to freelancers, contractors, and remote teams. It serves merchants via a JavaScript payment gateway and POS terminals, and enterprises via sub-account management.

Product overview

CoinPip is a blockchain-based financial platform that uses cryptocurrency (primarily Bitcoin) as the underlying payment rail to enable fast, low-cost international money transfers and merchant payment acceptance for businesses. The core offering is a unified payment platform combining a Bitcoin payment gateway (for merchants to accept crypto online), an international money transfer service (for cross-border B2B payments, freelancer payroll, and mass disbursements), and a merchant back-office dashboard. The platform manages crypto-to-fiat conversion behind the scenes so merchants and businesses can transact in their preferred local currencies. Enterprise clients get additional sub-account management tools for delegating payment operations. A mobile application (launched 2015) extends the platform's functionality to mobile users. The ecosystem also includes guidance for merchants to list themselves on Bitcoin directory platforms. Together, these products form an integrated suite where businesses can accept Bitcoin payments from customers, convert to local fiat currency, and use the same platform to pay international freelancers and vendors—using blockchain as the settlement infrastructure throughout.

Direct peers

• BitPay: One of the earliest and largest crypto payment processors, BitPay offers merchants Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash acceptance with fiat conversion, plus B2B billing and cross-border payouts. Direct competitor to CoinPip's payment gateway and merchant settlement capabilities.
• Coinbase Commerce: Coinbase's merchant-focused payment gateway enables online businesses to accept multiple cryptocurrencies with automatic conversion to fiat. Directly competes with CoinPip's payment gateway and offers a more recognized brand and deeper liquidity.
• CoinGate: CoinGate provides Bitcoin and altcoin payment processing for merchants and POS terminals, with fiat settlement and global coverage. Highly comparable to CoinPip's gateway plus POS offering, with stronger current scale.
• NOWPayments: NOWPayments is a crypto payment processor offering merchant tools, mass payouts, and cross-border transfers with broad coin support. Competes directly with CoinPip's mass payment and freelancer disbursement use cases.
• Mercuryo: Mercuryo provides crypto payment infrastructure including on-ramp, off-ramp, and merchant acceptance solutions with global coverage. Comparable to CoinPip's crypto-to-fiat conversion and merchant gateway functionality at greater scale.
• Triple-A: Triple-A is a Singapore-headquartered crypto payment processor licensed by MAS, enabling merchants and businesses to accept and disburse digital assets with fiat conversion. A direct regional peer with regulatory credentials comparable to CoinPip's positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Circle: Circle issues USDC stablecoin and provides enterprise-grade payment, treasury, and cross-border settlement infrastructure. A broad incumbent that competes with CoinPip's payment rail thesis but operates at vastly greater scale with regulatory licenses.
• Ripple (XRP/RippleNet): Ripple provides blockchain-based cross-border payment infrastructure for banks and financial institutions via RippleNet and the XRP ledger. Competes with CoinPip's enterprise cross-border payment thesis at a much larger institutional scale.

Emerging players

• Strike: Strike offers Bitcoin-based payment and remittance services, including business payouts and global money transfer using the Lightning Network. An emerging competitor with similar Bitcoin-rail philosophy but more modern architecture and US market focus.
• BTCPay Server: BTCPay Server is an open-source, self-hosted Bitcoin and Lightning payment processor enabling merchants to accept crypto without intermediaries. A competing merchant acceptance solution that threatens PSP-fee-based models like CoinPip.
