Try Dealroom →, a UK-based financial infrastructure company, is going public on Nasdaq through a SPAC merger with Titan Acquisition CorpDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →. The deal values OpenPayd at $1.1 billion and could deliver up to $276 million in gross proceeds, assuming no redemptions by Titan's public shareholders.
Founded in 2018 by Ozan Ozerk, OpenPayd offers a single API that lets businesses move money across traditional payment rails, blockchain networks, and stablecoins. It serves more than 1,100 customers in 180 countries, including eToro and KrakenDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →.
The combined company will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker "OP." The transaction was unanimously approved by both boards and is expected to close in Q4 2026.
Why now? OpenPayd sits at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets — a space seeing surging demand as stablecoins gain traction for cross-border payments. The company says it processes more than $240 billion in annualised transaction volume and generates over $85 million in annualised recurring revenue as of March 2026.
The capital from the merger is earmarked for US expansion, new product development, and regulatory licensing. OpenPayd already holds licences across the US, UK, European Economic Area, Canada, and South Africa.
What could go wrong? SPACs have a chequered recent history. Many post-merger companies have seen steep share price declines, and high shareholder redemption rates can drastically shrink the expected proceeds. If Titan's shareholders redeem heavily, OpenPayd could receive far less than the $276 million headline figure.
Regulatory risk is also real. Operating across multiple jurisdictions in both fiat and crypto payments means OpenPayd faces an evolving — and sometimes unpredictable — compliance landscape.
The signal: Dealroom classifies OpenPayd as a "breakout" stage company, suggesting it has moved beyond early growth into a phase where a public listing becomes a viable next step. With Titan Acquisition Corp backed by Black Titan CorporationDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a corporate investor, the deal pairs a fintech scaling across fiat and crypto rails with a SPAC sponsor rooted in institutional capital — a combination that signals growing corporate conviction in stablecoin infrastructure as a standalone asset class rather than a niche within broader payments.
