AngelList Ends Crypto Funding Support Amid Ripple's Rail Acquisition Fallout

AngelList, a popular platform for startup investment and funding, is ending its support for cryptocurrency payments at the end of July. This decision affects USDC, USDT, DAI, and ETH payments, but existing investments will remain unaffected.

The change comes as a result of AngelList's third-party crypto payments provider discontinuing their service. The platform has advised users to switch to fiat payment methods before the July 31 deadline to avoid processing delays.

Ripple acquired Rail, a stablecoin payment company, for $200 million in August 2025, with the aim of expanding its enterprise stablecoin payments business and global settlements. However, it seems that AngelList's reliance on crypto funding has become unsustainable.
