Overview
Loop (Loop Crypto) is a Web3 payments infrastructure company enabling recurring subscriptions, billing, and checkout flows for crypto-native merchants. Founded to solve the gap between one-time wallet payments and subscription business models, Loop raised a $4M seed round in April 2022 led by Andreessen Horowitz, with Alchemy Ventures, CoinList, and A.Capital participating.
Why Loop is interesting
Loop Crypto (a16z portfolio) brings Stripe-like subscriptions to on-chain payments — a16z led $4M seed (2022) as merchants needed recurring billing for token economies and NFT memberships.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Loop focused early on recurring billing — a gap in crypto payments dominated by one-time connect-wallet flows. a16z seed lead validated infrastructure over consumer app plays.
Crypto subscription billing is niche but real for NFT communities and crypto-native SaaS. Loop's risk is stablecoin regulation and wallet UX friction; opportunity grows if on-chain recurring becomes standard for Web3 commerce.
-
Stripe (fiat subscriptions) incumbent
Default subscription billing; Loop adds crypto-native rails incumbents don't prioritize.
-
Coinbase Commerce adjacent
Crypto payment acceptance; limited recurring subscription features vs Loop's focus.
-
Request Network adjacent
Crypto invoicing and payments; different UX for B2B vs Loop's subscription checkout.
Notable stories
- Loop launched when NFT projects needed membership tiers but could only accept one-time wallet payments — a obvious infrastructure gap in the 2021–2022 Web3 commerce wave.
- a16z's seed bet framed Loop as 'Stripe for crypto subscriptions' — recurring revenue infrastructure rather than speculative token tooling.
