New whistleblower material suggests GammaG was not a peripheral Georgian processor but a live counterparty in a CoinsPaid-linked merchant relationship that ended in missing funds, opaque bank-return claims, and an entity shutdown notice.

A cache of internal communications leaked by a high-level whistleblower has finally shattered the wall of separation between CoinsPaid and the notorious AlphaPo. The evidence reveals a coordinated effort by CEO Max Krupyshev and Head of Legal Maria Akulenko to mask financial interdependencies, including a mysterious loan from AlphaPo and direct executive overlaps.

The Lithuanian crypto landscape is undergoing a violent contraction. Following the suspension of utPay, the iGaming crypto giant Dream Finance UAB d/b/a CoinsPaid and CryptoProcessing has officially shuttered its Lithuanian operations. As the MiCA "grandfathering" period expires, the Bank of Lithuania is flushing out high-risk processors, leaving the SoftSwiss-linked empire to retreat to Estonian and North American strongholds.

Recent whistleblower reports and online investigative publications in January 2026 allege that SoftSwiss, through its Malta-licensed entity Stable Aggregator Limited (MGA/B2B/942/2022), operates as an unlicensed payment hub and money laundering facilitator for affiliated casino operators targeting prohibited jurisdictions. The allegations assert that SoftSwiss processes payments from unlicensed merchants.

Dream Finance OÜ, the Estonian core entity behind the CoinsPaid/CryptoProcessing brands, has published its audited 2024 financials. The numbers show a spectacular turnaround from a large 2023 loss to a strong profit. It is also noteworthy that Dream Finance UAB in Lithuania also achieved an impressive profit of just over €1 million in 2024, with revenues of slightly more than €1.9 million.

CoinsPaid’s latest announcement about enabling crypto payments for property purchases looks, at first glance, like innovation. Scratch the surface and it resembles another reputation-laundering exercise by an Estonian-licensed processor long accused of funnelling gambling and other high-risk flows through a murky SoftSwiss empire. Regulators and compliance teams should read between the PR lines.

They did it again: another press release. FinTelegram dissects the Dream Finance/CoinsPaid network—an Austrian-fronted, Baltic-based crypto processor whose glossy PR masks a web of gambling interests, Russian capital, and whistle-blower claims of large-scale laundering. However, the background story is a quite different one.

Ivan Montik is not your typical crypto mogul — no Twitter hype, no tech conferences, no loud opinions on regulation. And yet, he’s behind some of the most powerful infrastructure in the high-risk intersection of crypto payments and online gambling. As the co-founder of both SoftSwiss and CoinsPaid, Montik is deeply embedded in the opaque world of crypto casinos.

CryptoProcessing by CoinsPaid has launched a new motorsport sponsorship campaign with racing prodigies Eduardo and Fernando Barrichello. But behind the glossy Web3 marketing lies a history of regulatory red flags and allegations of facilitating illicit payments. As FinTelegram has repeatedly reported, CoinsPaid is far from a neutral fintech innovator.

Anything is possible in Cyprus. Especially when it comes to cyber finance and illegal gambling and financial platforms. Cyprus was the global hub for illegal and fraudulent binary options. Providers of crypto services have also found a home there. The island is also home to the Dream Hill real estate company, which now offers the purchase of apartments via cryptocurrencies. The partner for this is CryptoProcessing. Here is the most important thing in Telegram style.

Estonia-based crypto payment processor CoinsPaid, controlled by the Austrian national Alexander Horst Riedinger and his Ukraine partner Max Krupyshev, has reported that approximately $37 million in cryptocurrency was stolen in a cyberattack likely orchestrated by the North Korean Lazarus Group. The company suspended automatic transactions and began moving the systems to new infrastructure.

Crypto payment processor CoinsPaid operates through legal entities in Estonia, Lithuania, and El Salvador. Dream Finance OÜ, the operating entity holding a crypto license in Estonia, is controlled by Austrian entrepreneur Alexander Horst Riedinger and led by Max Krupyshev as CEO. CryptoProcessing is another brand also operated by the Estonian entity. In a new press release, CoinsPaid said that its "spring numbers" 2023 exploded again in a YoY comparison.
