Public company, workplace, funding, and market signals
Updated Jul 29, 2026
Overview
Argentine crypto exchange and payment API gateway built by the same team behind Tienda Dólar; it serves consumers and businesses with crypto trading, yield products, and merchant/B2B payment integrations. The public record is slightly inconsistent on funding and headcount: YC describes a $150k seed from Winter 2020 and a 37-person team, while CB Insights lists $500k total raised and LinkedIn-company-style snippets show smaller current headcount.
