ShredPay today launched a unified blockchain finance platform giving U.S. retail and institutional users compliant access to stablecoins, non-custodial digital wallets, curated cryptocurrencies, DeFi yield products with proprietary risk ratings and as a white-label solution for financial institutions.
Built by U.S.-based veterans from major crypto exchanges and regulated financial services, the platform serves both retail investors and traditional financial institutions. It addresses what founders describe as a structural mismatch: Americans express interest in blockchain finance, but existing options are segmented and lack the end-to-end compliance that will enable broad adoption.
“Recent polling shows that many Americans are interested in blockchain finance but don’t trust the existing ecosystem. We built ShredPay for that gap,” said Mauricio Beugelmans, CEO and co-founder. “Blockchain finance is infrastructure, not ideology—the platforms that will scale are the ones that work within the financial system, not against it.”
For retail users, ShredPay offers direct access to USD-to-stablecoin conversion, non-custodial wallets, selected cryptocurrencies, vetted decentralized yield products, and stablecoin payments. For financial institutions, the platform provides a white-label, fully compliant infrastructure solution enabling them to offer those services under their own brand. Unique to the platform is the ShredPay DeFi Ratings Index, a proprietary framework that evaluates decentralized finance protocols across risk and operational metrics. The system aims to provide transparency comparable to traditional credit ratings for an asset class that has historically lacked standardized assessment tools.
“Blockchain finance is part of the evolution of finance, not a revolution,” said Melissa Muehlfeld, president and co-founder. “ShredPay meets the standards institutions require while preserving the efficiencies decentralized protocols offer.”
ShredPay’s March launch represents phase one. The company plans to expand ShredPay DeFi Ratings Index coverage to additional protocols and roll out institutional integrations throughout 2026.
