Loop Crypto

Loop Crypto is a cryptocurrency and stablecoin payment processor that enables merchants, billing software providers, and e-commerce platforms to accept crypto payments seamlessly. Founded in 2021 by Eleni Steinman and Shane van Coller, Loop has established itself as a leading infrastructure provider in the Web3 payments space, recently acquired by Lead Bank in December 2025.

Core Products and Services

Loop offers a comprehensive suite of payment processing tools including:

Payment APIs: A complete cryptocurrency payment gateway API suite that integrates seamlessly with existing payment infrastructure. The APIs handle all blockchain complexities including wallet connections, network configurations, and token management across 300+ blockchain networks.

Payment Components: Embeddable, fully customizable payment widgets that match brand aesthetics while maintaining security and compliance. Loop's Pay Component enables instant deployment of crypto payment capabilities.

Payment Links: Hosted checkout pages that work instantly without coding requirements, allowing businesses to accept crypto payments by simply sharing a secure link.

Invoicing System: Professional invoicing solution with automated reminders, payment tracking, and instant reconciliation for one-time crypto payments.

Subscription Management: Automated recurring payment processing similar to credit cards, where customers authorize their wallet once and payments are processed automatically each billing cycle without user action.

Fiat Settlement: Off-ramp services allowing merchants to receive payments in stablecoins or crypto while settling in USD, Euros, or other local currencies, with fast automated settlement and global coverage.

Integrations: Native integrations with major payment platforms including Stripe, Chargebee, and OpenPay, enabling merchants to manage customers, products, and billing logic in one place.

Key Strengths

Loop supports all EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) chains and Solana, with default support for Solana, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Ethereum, and BNB Smart Chain. The platform accepts all ERC-20 tokens, SPL tokens, and native tokens including stablecoins (USDC, USDT, PYUSD, USDG) and altcoins (ETH, SOL, MATIC), with support for over 500 wallets including MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Rainbow wallet.

The platform provides sophisticated features including price oracle integration for volatility management, smart checkout with saved payment methods for returning customers, webhooks for payment notifications, pre-authorization checks, SDK support, and comprehensive data analytics. Loop handles complex billing scenarios including usage-based billing, overages, top-ups, and add-on fees.

Notable Achievements

Loop has enabled merchants to reach customers in 155+ countries, with 122 countries where merchants have successfully sold products. The platform has demonstrated strong adoption metrics with 1 in 5 consumers choosing crypto when fiat options are available, and 1 in 3 crypto holders having made purchases with stablecoins. Loop's merchants have generated 8.5% of sales from countries where customers exclusively transacted in stablecoins.
