Content creators across Latin America are increasingly becoming part of the global digital economy—but outdated payment systems haven’t kept pace. VelaFi, Latin America’s leading provider of stablecoin-based financial infrastructure, has partnered with Clapper, one of the world’s fastest-growing social media platforms, to change that.

Together, they’re launching a streamlined cross-border payout solution that enables content creators throughout the region to receive earnings faster, with lower fees and zero friction, without needing to navigate banking barriers or currency limitations.

Built on VelaFi’s compliant infrastructure, the solution offers:

• Same-day settlement of cross-border earnings in local currencies.
• Processing fees under 1%, compared to traditional methods that charge between 8% and 30%.
• End-to-end automation, with no manual effort required from creators.

Powered by stablecoins like USDC, the system moves funds from the U.S. to Latin America in real time. Clapper handles KYC and platform onboarding, while VelaFi ensures transparent FX conversion and regulatory compliance across every transaction.

“We believe creators everywhere deserve modern financial tools, not just to grow their audiences, but to get paid seamlessly and securely,” said Maggie Wu, CEO and Co-Founder of VelaFi. “By leveraging stablecoins and our regulatory-grade infrastructure, this partnership removes traditional payment barriers and delivers real-time, low-cost access to global earnings. It's part of our broader mission to enable a frictionless financial future for businesses and independent workers across LATAM.”

Edison Chen, CEO of Clapper, added: “Creators are the backbone of Clapper, and we’re committed to building systems that support their growth—not just with content tools, but with real financial access. This partnership with VelaFi means our LATAM creators can now get paid quickly, securely, and without high fees. It’s a game-changer, and a major step in making Clapper the most creator-friendly platform in the world.”

The collaboration is a milestone for both platforms: Clapper gains a scalable, compliant payout solution tailored to the region, and VelaFi expands its support for digital economy use cases across industries. It's a model other U.S.-based companies can follow to pay freelancers, creators, and teams in Latin America, quickly, securely, and without excessive costs.

With this partnership, VelaFi and Clapper are setting a new standard for inclusive, efficient cross-border payments, empowering creators and building infrastructure for a truly global financial future.
