Orbital, a global payment orchestration platform, has announced plans to establish a US presence in Miami, Florida, to meet growing demand for regulated stablecoin and cross-border payment infrastructure. The expansion will involve pursuing US regulatory approvals and money transmission licences over the next 12 to 18 months. The company processes approximately $12 billion in annualised volume and orchestrates payments across traditional currencies, stablecoins and over 80 exotic currencies. Founded in 2017, Orbital holds regulatory authorisations in the UK, Gibraltar, Estonia and Switzerland. The US expansion targets B2B payment providers, PSPs and cross-border payment businesses, particularly as the GENIUS Act has created a federal framework for payment stablecoins. Miami was chosen for its position as a hub for digital asset businesses and Latin American payment flows.

Orbital has been recognised as an execution leader in FXC intelligence's newly released buyer's guide: stablecoin payments infrastructure, which benchmarks more than 20 global stablecoin payments infrastructure providers. This recognition reflects the maturity and breadth of its product capabilities in stablecoin-managed payments and reinforces its commitment to building a unified global payments platform for stablecoin and traditional cross-border payment flows. Stablecoin payments infrastructure is moving into production. Orbital is seeing more payment teams move from testing stablecoin workflows into live operational deployments. Increasingly, organisations are moving beyond experimentation and into structured stablecoin deployment strategies. Implementing stablecoin payments requires engaging with a broader infrastructure stack - including wallets and custody, on/off-ramps, liquidity providers, blockchain settlement layers, compliance tooling, regulatory licensing, cybersecurity controls, and global liquidity networks. For many organisations, managing this infrastructure complexity is one of the largest barriers to scaling stablecoin cross-border payments. Where Orbital fits in the stablecoin infrastructure stack. Orbital is designed for eligible organisations that want to deploy stablecoin payments without stitching together fragmented infrastructure providers. Its platform integrates: * Stablecoin and fiat payment rails * Cross-border payment orchestration * Compliance and operational controls * Liquidity access and settlement workflows This unified approach supports businesses to move from proof of concept to fully operational stablecoin payment infrastructure - across regions, payment types, and customer segments. The market opportunity for stablecoin cross-border payments. FXC Intelligence estimates the base total addressable market for stablecoin cross-border payments at $17.9 trillion, with upside potential reaching $25.3 trillion. Despite rapid growth, stablecoins still represent a small share of total global cross-border payment flows today. Significant addressable market and early-stage adoption suggests substantial long-term growth potential for stablecoin payments infrastructure. Building the future of stablecoin payments. Orbital is pleased to be included in FXC Intelligence's Buyer's Guide and recognised as an Execution Leader in stablecoin payments infrastructure. Orbital will continue investing in the infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and operational capabilities required to support stablecoin cross-border payments at scale.

Orbital partners with Stable to expand cost-efficient stablecoin payment solutions. Orbital has partnered with Stable to integrate a stablecoin-native layer 1 blockchain, enabling cost-efficient USDT and PYUSD payment processing for its customers. Global payments solutions provider Orbital announced a partnership with Stable, a layer 1 blockchain network developed to support stablecoin-based transactions across supported assets and designed to simplify payment processes. After integration, Orbital's customers are expected to gain access to a stablecoin-native layer 1 network created to offer more cost-efficient and user-oriented payment capabilities. Stablecoin-focused layer 1 networks have emerged in response to rising settlement demands, reflecting growth in global stablecoin usage, including an estimated user base of more than 500 million for USDT. Stable is among the early blockchains specifically built for stablecoin transactions and is supported by notable industry participants. The network recently announced a PYUSD expansion involving PayPal Ventures and secured a $28 million seed round in July. The integration is intended to allow Orbital's customers to process transactions through Stable's layer 1 network. This will enable USDT payments with minimal transaction costs and allow token transfers and smart contract activities to be settled directly in USDT rather than through native chain tokens, which is the standard structure across many existing blockchains. Customers will also be able to use PYUSD, broadening Orbital's available cryptocurrency payment channels and increasing flexibility for pay-ins, payouts, and treasury operations. Overall, the integration is expected to support more streamlined, cost-efficient, and accessible transaction processing for Orbital users. According to Luke Wingfield Digby, Co-founder and Head of Corporate Development at Orbital, the rise of stablecoin-oriented layer 1 blockchains represents an important development in global value transfer. He stated that, when paired with stablecoin infrastructure such as that offered by Orbital, these networks can enhance routing alternatives and operational efficiency for businesses, and that connecting to Stable's layer 1 network aligns with Orbital's aim to expand stablecoin payment options. Orbital expands secure, compliant global payment capabilities with multi-currency and stablecoin integration. Orbital Group is described as a global payment orchestration platform recognised for providing secure, efficient, and compliant payment solutions spanning both stablecoin-based and traditional financial transactions for enterprise users. The platform enables businesses operating in B2B and B2C environments to utilise a unified system that includes named vIBANs, stablecoin wallets, and functionality for receiving, sending, and exchanging major stablecoins, conventional currencies, and more than eighty additional currencies. Earlier in the year, Orbital announced that The Open Network (TON) blockchain became available for stablecoin transactions through its crypto payment gateway. The company has also recently upheld its SOC 2 Type 2 certification and obtained CSA STAR Level 2 status, both regarded as notable standards for evaluating security, operational continuity, and overall system resilience.
