Rezolve Buys Smartpay: A Billion-Dollar, Fee-Free Payment Spree

Rezolve Ai (NASDAQ: RZLV) announced the acquisition of Smartpay, a digital-asset payments platform that processed over 19 million commercial transactions totaling more than $1 billion in the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 2025.

In a move that would make a wizard at a accountants’ convention tip their hat, Rezolve Ai has snapped up Smartpay, the payments platform that danced through roughly 19 million transactions and racked up just over a billion dollars in the year ending September 30, 2025. The numbers do the talking, but not in a language that comes with subtitles for the learning-friendly herd. 😏💸

Smartpay’s live infrastructure across Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Angola now becomes part of Rezolve’s grand plot, broadening the reach into fast-growing markets and offering a tested blueprint for scaling digital-asset payments globally. It’s the kind of alliance that sounds like a good idea at a conference, until someone asks for the quarterly projection in pirate-speak. Anyway, the deal underpins Rezolve’s Multi-Asset Payment Initiative with Tether to weave USDT, BTC and ETH into retail payments, aiming for a merchant-fee-free, blockchain-based network with instant fiat settlement via Rezolve’s Brain Checkout technology. Brain Checkout: because who doesn’t want a brain on their checkout line? 🧠💳

Smartpay founder Rocelo Lopes will lead Rezolve’s Digital Currency Initiative, which is about as subtle as a brass band in a library and twice as noisy. And yes, the acquisition nudges Rezolve’s roadmap for AI-driven “Agentic Commerce,” enabling autonomous agents to complete real-time purchases using digital assets. Think helpful droids, but with better table manners and a habit of leaving the printer alone. 🤖🛒

So, if you’ve ever wondered what happens when a ready-made fintech circus finds a willing conjurer, this is it: the ringmasters are swapping tricks, the acrobats are upgrading their digital wands, and somewhere in the back, a very earnest AI is negotiating your next order for coffee with the mood of a dragon who’s just discovered mint. Welcome to a world where commerce has a pulse, and the pulse is powered by algorithms with a sense of humor. 😄🎪
