Bybit launches USD deposit support via OpenPayd. Sep 23, 2026, 08:00 ET DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 23, 2026 /CNW/ - Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced that USD deposit is now supported through OpenPayd, a leading provider of financial infrastructure bridging traditional fiat banking and crypto rails. The integration gives eligible users a new streamlined way to fund their Bybit accounts in USD and access USD trading pairs without additional currency conversion. Through a single API integration with OpenPayd, Bybit can access global payment rails via virtual IBANs, including USD SWIFT with foreign exchange capabilities supported in one unified platform. This supports both institutional settlement and retail deposits and withdrawals, giving Bybit a consistent and compliant way to collect, convert and settle funds globally. "Fiat access remains a critical part of the crypto experience, and improving the connection between traditional banking and digital assets is key to broader adoption. Our integration with OpenPayd gives eligible users a more direct way to fund their Bybit accounts in USD and access global crypto liquidity, while providing the reliable infrastructure needed for both retail and institutional use. This is another step toward making moving between fiat and crypto as seamless as possible," said Victoria Kilikyan, Bybit's Deputy Head of Fiat. Lux Thiagarajah, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenPayd, added: "Bybit operates at an impressive scale, where it becomes increasingly important that moving between fiat and digital assets is supported by financial infrastructure that can keep pace. Supporting both institutional settlement and customer on/off-ramping requires accounts, global payment rails and FX to work together, rather than as fragmented functions. By bringing these capabilities into a single infrastructure layer, we're proud to support Bybit in managing increasingly complex money flows efficiently as it continues to operate at global scale." Eligible users can now deposit USD by navigating to Assets, selecting "Make a Fiat Deposit," and choosing USD as the deposit currency with SWIFT as the payment method. The system generates bank transfer details, including the beneficiary, account number, and reference code, for users to complete the transfer from a business bank account. Once the transfer is confirmed, funds appear in the user's USD balance. For eligible users, the integration unlocks a faster, more direct path to USD liquidity: * Flat deposit fee: A flat $11 fee applies per transaction, regardless of deposit amount, offering cost predictability for users moving larger sums compared with percentage-based fee structures. * Direct USD pair trading: Users can trade USD pairs directly on Bybit, avoiding the additional step and conversion costs before trading. * Faster funding: The integration streamlines both USD deposits and withdrawals, reducing the time between initiating a transfer and having funds available for trading. * Global liquidity access: USD funding gives eligible users access to global liquidity markets, supporting more efficient trade execution. * Institutional-grade infrastructure: The feature is powered by OpenPayd, a regulated payment infrastructure provider, giving eligible users a compliant and secure channel for fiat funding. Terms and conditions apply. A step-by-step guide to the deposit process is available.

Sage Capital Management selects OpenPayd to expand fiat access for institutional digital asset clients. Chainwire | Publish date: 09/09/2026 (Last updated: September 09, 2026 04:00 AM) London, UK, September 9th, 2026, Chainwire Live integration adds USD, EUR and GBP capabilities, including USD on/off-ramping via SWIFT, alongside SEPA and Faster Payments connectivity. Sage Capital Management, which provides institutional clients with a complete operating system for digital assets, has selected OpenPayd, a leading provider of financial infrastructure, to extend its banking capabilities. This latest development provides Sage Capital Management's clients with fast settlement and enhanced technology capabilities, enabling them to move money seamlessly within a single platform. In addition, OpenPayd gives Sage Capital Management the ability to issue virtual International Bank Account Numbers (vIBANs) for every client, supporting the precise tracking of incoming and outgoing payments and simplifying reconciliation. Building on Sage Capital Management's existing banking capabilities, the integration expands USD, EUR and GBP payment capabilities across its platform, giving institutional clients broader fiat access as they move money into and out of digital asset markets. Through OpenPayd, Sage Capital Management has a USD account with SWIFT connectivity for fiat on/off-ramping, EUR payments via SEPA, and GBP payments through Faster Payments and SWIFT. The multi-rail access supports client payment collections and fiat settlements to liquidity providers, a core operational need for institutions trading digital assets at scale. For Sage Capital Management's institutional clients - hedge funds, asset managers, trading firms, brokers, corporate treasuries and digital asset treasuries - the added currencies and payment networks via OpenPayd provide greater optionality in how they fund activity and settle with liquidity providers, without relying on a single rail or currency corridor. Lux Thiagarajah, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenPayd, said: "Institutional access to digital assets depends on being able to move money efficiently on both sides of the trade. Fiat on/off-ramping gives institutions greater choice in how they access digital asset markets, while reliable payment connectivity is essential for moving funds between clients and counterparties. Sage Capital Management is simplifying how institutions access digital asset markets, and our role is to provide the fiat connectivity that supports that proposition." Nathan Sage, CEO at Sage Capital Management, said: "OpenPayd is a major player in the crypto banking ecosystem, and this strategic partnership adds further strength and credibility to our platform. Our focus remains on providing clients with fast, flexible, secure and seamless access to global banking networks, enabling clients to move quickly between fiat and digital assets, and manage payments and FX. Our partnership with OpenPayd enables us to meet the highest standards of transparency and regulatory alignment." Sage Capital Management now gives institutional clients all the infrastructure they need to operate their digital asset offering, including banking, access to liquidity, collateralised lending and technology. The firm launched its banking offering earlier this year, giving clients named, multi-currency accounts in their own legal entity, alongside physical and virtual corporate debit cards linked directly to those accounts.

OpenPayd prepares for a U.S. Launch as big banks plan for a dollar stablecoin. OpenPayd, a London-based provider of open-banking and stablecoin services, announced an expansion into the U.S. market, having acquired 43 state money-transfer licenses. Globally, the company processes more than $300 billion in volume yearly for more than 1,200 businesses. The announcement comes following OpenPayd's integration this month of MSB USA Inc., a money-services business founded by Ozan Ozerk, a 47-year-old entrepreneur specializing in fintech and also the founder of OpenPayd. That move brings to OpenPayd some 43 state money-transfer licenses, the company says, adding that the move will serve as a basis for the firm's near-term growth. The announcement follows on reported growth at 8-year-old OpenPayd, including annualized transaction volume exceeding $300 billion, as reported by the company, with annual recurring revenue reaching past $96 million. Its client list includes Kraken, eToro, OKX, and B2C2, financial-services companies involved in digital assets. "Our clients are increasingly global, and their demand for seamless, compliant payment infrastructure in key markets like the U.S. has driven this strategic move," said Iana Dimitrova, OpenPayd's chief executive, in a statement. OpenPayd worked this summer with Titan Acquisition Corp. on what the companies call a combination agreement that will see OpenPayd become a public company listed on the Nasdaq. The move valued the company at $1.145 billion. The merger with Titan is expected to close in the fourth quarter. In related news, some 21 major financial institutions on Tuesday said they will set up a company to issue stablecoins, with priority on a dollar-denominated product. North American banks involved in the project include Bank of America, Capital One, Citi, Fidelity Investments, Goldman Sachs, PNC Financial Services, Scotiabank, TD Bank Group, Wells Fargo, and WisdomTree. The group has targeted the first half of next year for the product's launch. No name for the joint venture has yet been announced, though the backers say that development will emerge "in due course." The venture, which will operate around the world, will at first work with a dollar stablecoin, though it plans ultimately to issue coins backed by another 67 currencies, with a Euro-backed coin as a priority.
