SaturnX
What happened? UAE-based SaturnX, infrastructure provider for stablecoin-based cross border payments, raised USD 3 million in a seed round. The round was led by White Star Capital with participation from other investors.
“They’re operating in one of the most strategically important corridors globally, solving a massive pain point for cross-border remittances and B2B payments,” said Sep Alavi, General Partner at White Star Capital.
What is next? With the newly acquired funding, SaturnX aims to expand into new payment corridors. These include South East Asia, including the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Pakistan. It also aims to strengthen regulatory infrastructure and continue to build its end-to-end API platform for enterprise-grade stablecoin payments.
“Despite considerable progress, cross-border payments are still expensive and slow. By offering a faster, cheaper, and programmable alternative, we’re helping financial partners unlock better ways to move money, starting with the world’s largest remittance corridors,” said Mirnas Brescic, CEO and Founder of SaturnX.
Stablecoin Cross-Border Payments
How does it work? The startup pre-funds stablecoin liquidity pools in key markets and aggregates FX pricing in real times. It also ensures regulatory compliance via partnerships and licensing pathways.
Who are they? Founded by Mirnas Brescic, SaturnX serves as a behind-the-scenes API layer for B2B money transmitters, corporates and financial platforms. Furthermore, it is a stablecoin payments infrastructure company that is headquartered in Dubai.
It enables businesses and financial institutions to move money globally through an API-first platform. The platform leverages stablecoin liquidity, smart FX routing, and regulatory-compliant payout network.
