Description

https://www.kaprex.io/

Kaprex is a global payment orchestration platform that enables seamless conversion between fiat and stablecoins, borderless payments, and on-chain savings—powered by industry-leading infrastructure from Circle, Bridge, and LI.FI.

At its foundation, Kaprex abstracts complex blockchain and banking integrations into simple user and business experiences through direct integration with custodial-grade and compliant partners.


🔗 Powered by Trusted Infrastructure

  • Circle Wallets
    Every Kaprex user is provisioned with a Circle wallet—a secure, compliance-ready wallet infrastructure that supports USDC and EURC. This ensures institutional-grade custody, blockchain transparency, and seamless interoperability with partner ecosystems.

  • Bridge
    Kaprex leverages Bridge’s stablecoin settlement rails to route cross-border payments efficiently. Inward and outward transactions are processed in USDC and EURC, with support for payment rails such as ACH, SEPA, SWIFT, and Wire, enabling local bank interactions globally.

  • LI.FI
    Cross-chain liquidity and routing are abstracted via LI.FI, enabling seamless asset movement across supported blockchains, ensuring the best rates and minimal slippage.


🧾 Core Capabilities

  • Fiat ↔ Stablecoin Onramp/Offramp
    Users can easily convert between their local currency and stablecoins like USDC, EURC, and sUSD, with settlements occurring via Circle wallets and Bridge payouts.

  • Cross-Border Payments
    Payments are executed over stablecoin rails, with local disbursements and global funding handled via regulated banking pathways—ideal for freelancers, businesses, and remote workers.

  • Merchant Payment Solutions
    Businesses can receive stablecoin payments globally and settle locally in fiat—without needing to manage custody, compliance, or FX.

  • Yield & Savings
    Kaprex enables earnings on idle balances via DeFi protocols, including stablecoin yields (USDC, USDT, sUSD) and liquid staking with KSOL, offering returns up to 8%.

🎯 Ideal Users
