​​RedotPay postpones its IPO due to Binance lawsuit #RedotPay has postponed its planned U.S. IPO from this year to 2027 or later as it works to secure regulatory approvals and resolve legal issues. A #Binance-linked entity previously sued RedotPay’s founder, alleging he diverted hundreds of thousands of users to a competing product and seeking nearly $500M in damages. RedotPay declined to comment on the IPO timeline, citing its focus on global compliance and growth. The company said users, revenue, profits, and profit margins have all reached record highs in recent months. It also obtained a U.S. money-transmitter license this week and plans to actively defend against the Binance lawsuit. 👉 coindesk.com/business/2026/08/14/redotpay-said-to-put-usd1-billion-u-s-ipo-plan-on-hold-bloomberg Socials: Website | X | Telegram | Chat | Binance Square
