Arx Research is a U.S.-based payments technology company focused on bringing crypto and traditional card acceptance together for small merchants. Its flagship product, the Burner Terminal, is a compact, translucent-green handheld POS device that supports tap-to-pay stablecoin transactions without touching legacy card rails while also accepting contactless and chip-and-PIN EMV cards. The terminal connects via built-in Wi-Fi and LTE, giving mobile merchants flexibility and reliability on the go. Arx previously released the Burner Wallet, which is already used by more than 30,000 merchants and consumers, forming the backbone of its payments ecosystem. The platform integrates with Flexa to add Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and other crypto assets alongside stablecoins. Merchants can choose to keep payments in stablecoins or offramp to fiat, and the product’s full EMV certification provides security and compliance. The company will debut the Burner Terminal in November 2025 and expects broad commercial availability in early 2026. Proceeds from its new seed financing will be used to scale manufacturing and expand the Burner ecosystem.
