Arx Research has successfully raised $6.1 million in seed funding to launch "Burner Terminal," a point-of-sale (POS) device that integrates stablecoin and fiat currency payments. The funding round was led by Castle Island Ventures, with contributions from Inflection, Placeholder, Seed Club Ventures, and 1kx. The "Burner Terminal" is a handheld device designed for small businesses, supporting EMV-secure transactions with stablecoins, contactless cards, and chip-based payments. The device integrates with the Flexa network, enabling payments with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. It operates over WiFi and LTE networks, allowing consumers to pay via smartphone touch, Burner card, or QR code. This innovation marks a significant step in bringing stablecoins into the physical retail space, potentially offering merchants nearly fee-free transactions. Arx Research plans to use the funds to scale production and expand into European, American, and Latin American markets, with a full product launch expected in early 2026.
