Another major move in the cross-border payment sector! Airwallex, this unicorn, has just completed a new $330 million funding round, pushing its valuation directly to $8 billion.

This round was led by Addition, with participation from T Rowe Price, Robinhood Ventures, and others. Even more impressive, they’ve designated San Francisco as their second global headquarters and plan to expand their US team to over 400 people within a year.

The numbers speak for themselves—the company’s annualized revenue in October has already surpassed $1 billion. It seems the cross-border payments market is becoming increasingly attractive.

ngl, airwallex hitting $80B valuation feels like traditional fintech finally figured out the cross-border arbitrage game... but that $1.3B ARR number? seen that liquidity migration pattern before right before some routing optimization went sideways. 10 years ago we'd call this sustainable, now? smells like overheated capital looking for returns. watch their counter-party risk exposure closely

An $8 billion valuation, huh? It's starting to look like the real deal. Cross-border payments are definitely a gold mine, just not sure if it's going to burn through cash or not.
