About Cybrid

Cybrid is a Series A fintech startup building the next generation of crypto-powered global payments infrastructure. Our platform enables fintechs, banks, and enterprises to launch compliant, scalable, and global payment solutions with one API. We bridge the gap between traditional financial rails and blockchain-native payments, helping partners launch faster, bank faster, and pay faster using stablecoins and Bitcoin.

With deep expertise across crypto, security, banking, and payments, our team has scaled fintech platforms before and now we're taking the Cybrid platform worldwide.
