Sorted Wallet, a fintech startup focused on digital payments and blockchain accessibility, has secured $4.4 million in seed funding to scale its stablecoin‑based financial services for users of feature phones across emerging markets.
The round was led by Lateral Front Ventures, with participation from Rally Cap Ventures, Abler Nordic, and several angel investors. The funding will help Sorted Wallet expand its infrastructure, strengthen partnerships with telecom operators, and enhance its mobile‑friendly platform that enables secure transactions without requiring smartphones or internet access.
Founded in 2023, Sorted Wallet aims to bridge the digital divide by offering blockchain‑powered payments through simple USSD and SMS interfaces. Its technology allows users to send, receive, and store stablecoins directly from basic mobile devices, making financial inclusion more accessible in regions with limited connectivity.
The company plans to use the new capital to accelerate product development, onboard new markets in Africa and South Asia, and expand its team to support regulatory compliance and cross‑border payment capabilities.
Sorted Wallet’s mission aligns with the growing global push toward inclusive digital finance, leveraging blockchain to empower millions of unbanked individuals with reliable, low‑cost financial tools.
