OSL expands Banking Circle partnership to add five fiat rails for stablecoin payments

Banking Circle has expanded its work with OSL Group, a stablecoin payments and trading platform, by adding payment rails for five more currencies on top of their existing euro business. The new channels cover the Australian dollar, British pound, Hong Kong dollar, Singapore dollar and U.S. dollar. According to the announcement, the move is intended to help OSL reach new B2B markets. Banking Circle will also provide infrastructure support across OSL’s business platforms, with the partnership aimed at simplifying fiat settlement, digital asset conversion and liquidity management. Through BC-Now, Banking Circle’s always-on instant payment network, OSL said it will offer institutional clients a one-stop compliant platform for collecting, converting and settling funds globally on a 24/7 basis, without having to connect to multiple banks across different jurisdictions. OSL Group Chief Commercial Officer Eugene Cheung said the next phase of digital asset adoption will be driven by real payment use cases, adding that businesses want the flexibility to move between fiat and stablecoins and therefore need regulated, scalable and internationally connected infrastructure.

Payment platform Payment Asia, OSL Group and Hong Kong-licensed stablecoin issuer RD InnoTech have completed a full business-to-business settlement process using the regulated Hong Kong dollar stablecoin HKDAP in logistics and hotel use cases.

OSL said it provided institutional digital asset infrastructure for distribution and settlement. According to the announcement, each tokenized settlement was tied to a verified commercial transaction.

He added that the group will keep building next-generation payment infrastructure for businesses.

OSL teams up with Waka to add stablecoin settlement to emerging-market trade flows

OSL Group, listed in Hong Kong under HKEX:863, said it has entered a partnership with Waka, a payments platform focused on connecting liquidity and settlement networks across emerging markets. Under the arrangement, OSL will integrate its institutional-grade stablecoin infrastructure into Waka’s settlement system. The setup includes stablecoin-to-U.S. dollar conversion and U.S. dollar payment capabilities, with a focus on trade corridors linked to Africa and broader global commerce. OSL said the partnership is intended to bring compliant U.S. dollar liquidity to Asia-Africa trade routes that have long faced gaps in access to traditional banking services. The company also described the move as an expansion of its stablecoin payments footprint in emerging markets. Beyond the initial integration, the two firms are exploring additional collaboration tied to African markets and cross-border settlement. Kevin Cui, executive director and chief executive officer of OSL Group, said stronger payment infrastructure can materially improve daily life and business operations in regions connected by Asia-Africa trade channels. OSL added that it plans to deepen its presence in Africa and in other markets over time.

Banxa launches Native product to streamline stablecoin payment flows

Payments company Banxa launched its Native solution on Aug. 20, offering fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat conversion services for wallets, exchanges, and fintech apps through embedded interfaces. The product handles compliance checks and settlement in the background, allowing eligible users to skip repeated know-your-customer checks while removing Banxa-branded pages and redirects from the payment flow. Trust Wallet CEO Felix Fan said crypto user experience remains fragmented and complex, and that integrating Banxa places a compliant fiat-crypto gateway directly inside the user journey. Banxa said it has already integrated with more than 400 platforms, serves over 10 million users, and has processed more than $10 billion in transaction volume. The company was acquired by OSL in January this year as part of a broader push into stablecoin payments. Banxa’s Dutch entity also holds a MiCA license covering 30 countries in the European Economic Area.

One Year After Hong Kong’s Stablecoin Licensing, the Market Still Looks Lukewarm

Nearly a year after Hong Kong moved ahead with its first Hong Kong dollar stablecoin licenses, industry sentiment remains cautious rather than enthusiastic. People close to the local stablecoin business told the author that Standard Chartered-backed AnchorPoint Fintech has shown a more proactive stance, while HSBC has been far less eager. Several licensed crypto exchanges in Hong Kong are also testing or participating tactically, but many do not yet see a clear path to profits. The report argues that the current setup has created a mismatch: some institutions that strongly want to explore Hong Kong dollar stablecoin use cases have not been given a leading role, while some institutions that did receive licenses or central positions are seen as lacking strong commercial motivation. That gap, in the view of market participants cited in the piece, has left the sector with licenses in hand but limited momentum. The article also places Hong Kong in a broader global context. Euro, yen and won stablecoin efforts are described as facing their own structural limits, from low market share and slow adoption to restrictive institutional design and unresolved regulatory disputes. Against a global stablecoin market of nearly $308.3 billion, with dollar stablecoins accounting for 98%, non-dollar stablecoins continue to lag.
