Bleap has raised a $6 million seed round led by Blossom Capital to scale its product and expand internationally. The company said the financing follows a $2.3 million pre-seed round raised in late 2024 and will support growth across Europe and Latin America while accelerating product development.
Founded by João Alves and Guilherme Gomes, both former Revolut product builders, Bleap is positioning itself as a self-custodial financial account that consolidates everyday money tools into a single experience, using blockchain as the underlying settlement layer. The company says stablecoins are central to its approach, enabling predictable spending, instant cross-border transfers, and global access while keeping the user experience familiar.
Bleap said it has grown to more than 20,000 users since the pre-seed round and processed over $30 million in transactions during 2025, which it framed as validation that customers want global, instant financial tools with fewer intermediaries. The company argues that while consumer finance interfaces have improved, legacy back-end systems remain slow and fragmented, driving delays, opaque fees, and restricted access to funds.
The startup’s product roadmap spans payments and spending as well as digital assets. Bleap said users can already buy digital assets without fees and that it plans to introduce additional fee-free trading features within the app. Over time, the company aims to support a broader range of tradable assets, including tokenized real-world assets.
Bleap said the new capital will be used to build out its platform and pursue its longer-term goal of becoming the primary account where money moves and is managed as finance continues to evolve.
