Binance-linked companies have filed a lawsuit against RedotPay, alleging the company diverted more than 470,000 Binance Card users through a commercial partnership and caused nearly $473 million in damages. The suit marks an escalation in disputes over how crypto payment partnerships are managed and who bears responsibility when users are redirected outside agreed channels.
The core grievance centers on RedotPay's handling of card users under what was supposed to be a controlled commercial arrangement. Instead of maintaining the user relationship within Binance's ecosystem, RedotPay allegedly siphoned off hundreds of thousands of cardholders, stripping Binance of transaction revenue and customer data. That scale of user migration represents a significant hit to Binance's card operations, which have been a key product in the exchange's push beyond spot trading.
The $473 million damages figure reflects lost transaction fees, potential customer lifetime value, and operational costs tied to the user base Binance claims it lost. Crypto payment cards have become competitive battlegrounds, with exchanges racing to lock in users and build network effects. When partnerships fracture, the financial stakes can balloon quickly.
This dispute also shows growing pains in the crypto payment space. As exchanges scale card programs and partner with payment processors, contractual clarity around user ownership and revenue sharing becomes critical. RedotPay's alleged breach suggests either misaligned expectations or deliberate circumvention of the partnership terms.
