Cross-Border Payment App El Dorado Completes $9 Million Series A Funding Round, Led by Paradigm

2026.06.15 21:06:14

Latin American cross-border payment app El Dorado closed a $9 million Series A funding round on June 15, with Paradigm leading the investment. Coinbase Ventures and Verda Ventures also joined the round as participants. Focused on solving the inefficiency and high costs plaguing Latin America’s cross-border payment space, El Dorado operates across 12 countries including Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. The platform currently has over 100,000 active users and has processed more than 5 million transactions to date. The fintech has expanded its offerings to include enterprise payment services, supporting cross-border trade and corporate fund flows by integrating stablecoins and fiat settlement systems into a unified payment architecture. With the new funding, El Dorado will launch an enterprise payment product built on the Tempo Layer 1 blockchain—a network co-incubated by Paradigm and Stripe. This network is designed to provide global enterprises with cross-border settlement capabilities without requiring a local entity in target markets. Analysts note that as stablecoins and on-chain payment infrastructure gain traction in emerging markets, Latin America has emerged as a critical test bed for merging crypto finance with traditional payment systems.

Australian cybersecurity agency sues Telegram for failing to remove terrorist content, seeking AUD 54.6 million in damages

Australian eSafety Commissioner has formally filed a civil lawsuit against Telegram in Australia’s Federal Court, accusing the messaging platform of systematically violating its cybersecurity obligations under the country’s Cyber Security Act. Following a year-long investigation, the regulator alleges Telegram failed to remove flagged content after receiving reports from Australian users—including terrorist execution videos, some of which remained accessible for up to three weeks post-report. The regulator further claims the platform did not detect known terror-supporting content, such as the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooting livestream and content related to the May 2022 Buffalo mass shooting; these pieces of content were not removed until nearly three months after upload. Additionally, the eSafety Commissioner accuses Telegram of failing to remove associated accounts, channels and groups to prevent future violations, failing to uphold uniform terms of service banning terror-supporting content across the platform, and failing to provide reporters with updates on case outcomes. Under Australian law, violations of relevant rules and standards carry a maximum civil penalty of 54.6 million Australian dollars. eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant stated the content in question is linked to some of the most notorious acts of extreme violence in recent history, and remained accessible long after Telegram received notification of it. The lawsuit comes as Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has just charged Telegram founder Pavel Durov with aiding terrorism and issued an international arrest warrant against him, leaving the platform facing legal pressure from multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.
