Seismic has already established partnerships with stablecoin account platform Brookwell and private lending service provider Cred to offer private blockchain payment solutions. The new capital will be used to expand Seismic's services, including fiat currency gateways and a crypto card project. The company aims to start generating revenue by the first quarter of 2026, with a transaction fee of 1 cent. Seismic's main competitor is Tempo, which is valued at $5 billion.
