Six Taiwan companies make AFA Awards Top 30 ahead of Sept. 1 Taipei final

Asia FinTech Alliance on Aug. 11 released the Top 30 list for the inaugural AFA Awards, with six Taiwan companies making the cut from seven nominees recommended by the Taiwan FinTech Association. The shortlisted firms span financial infrastructure, regulatory compliance and market expansion, with names including XREX, Gogolook, OwlTing, CyCraft, Eastern Union and BaaS Innovation. According to TFTA honorary chair and AFA chairperson Tsai Yu-ling, all entrants first had to be nominated and screened in their home markets before competing against companies from 16 Asian economies. The first edition of the awards received 88 nominations across five categories. After the Top 30 round, the process will move into a second stage that will narrow the field to 10 finalists. The final round and awards ceremony are scheduled for Sept. 1, 2026, in Taipei, where the Top 10 companies will present in person to a judging panel drawn from financial and capital market institutions across Asia.

OwlTing reports July payment volume at OwlPay Harbor jumped 107.6%, with enterprise clients rising to 79

OBOOK Holdings Inc. operating brand OwlTing Group, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker OWLS, has for the first time laid out operating metrics for OwlPay Harbor, its cross-border stablecoin payments platform for enterprises. As of July 31, 2026, the company said July payment processing volume rose 107.6% from June, while transaction count climbed 109.5%, extending growth to a sixth straight month. Enterprise clients reached 79, up from 67 at the end of June. The company said OwlPay Harbor is built to help businesses pay overseas suppliers, partners and recipients without relying on slower and more expensive bank transfers. Payers can use U.S. dollars or stablecoins, while recipients receive local fiat in bank accounts in their own markets. OwlTing added that more than 90% of payment value this year has been converted from stablecoins into fiat and sent directly into bank accounts, with settlements completed in more than 40 countries and regions. OwlTing also said over 60% of its cross-border payout volume in 2026 has been settled through Circle Payments Network, or CPN, and that share increased again in July. Brazil and Nigeria ranked as its second- and third-largest markets by customer payment activity this year.
