Orbital opens Miami hub for institutional stablecoin payments

Orbital, a regulated European stablecoin and multi-currency payments platform, said in June 2026 it will open an operation in Miami to serve institutional clients and payment flows between the US and Latin America. The company reports $12 billion in annualised processing volume, more than one million transactions processed annually and eight years of payments experience.

The platform offers pay-in and payout rails, foreign exchange, virtual IBANs and custody for major stablecoins through a single API, a web portal or an over-the-counter desk. Customers can receive funds in local fiat or stablecoins, hold balances in custodial wallets or virtual IBANs, and settle using near-instant stablecoin transfers alongside conventional bank transfers.

Orbital’s pay-in infrastructure supports embedded payment pages and eInvoicing, with transaction screening and options to convert received fiat into stablecoin balances automatically. Payout capabilities include 24/7 settlement in stablecoins and the ability to fund custodial wallets or virtual IBANs in fiat, intended for use cases such as cross-border disbursements and payroll that require continuous settlement outside bank cut-off times.

The platform provides real-time foreign exchange across major and more than 80 exotic fiat currencies, stablecoin-to-stablecoin conversions at fixed rates, and an institutional OTC desk for large treasury conversions. Custody services include hot and cold storage options and security controls the company says meet enterprise operational requirements.

Orbital holds regulatory permissions in four jurisdictions: FCA payment institution authorisation in the UK, e-money and distributed ledger technology permissions in Gibraltar, VASP authorisation in Estonia, and membership of the Swiss VQF self-regulatory organisation. The company lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001:2022, CSA TCP and Cyber Essentials Plus among its security and compliance certifications. An independent benchmarking firm identified Orbital as an execution leader in a stablecoin payments infrastructure buyer’s guide.

Clients and integrations cited by the company include a multi-year relationship with online trading platform Eightcap and an integration with the Stable blockchain to extend multi-chain routing. Orbital describes its platform as a single vendor option that combines stablecoin settlement with traditional and exotic fiat rails for businesses handling cross-border flows.

For the US operation, the company estimates a 12- to 18-month timeline to establish the legal and operational foundation required to meet state-level money transmission and other licensing requirements before offering the same regulated depth available in Europe. Orbital referenced the GENIUS Act final rules deadline as a factor increasing enterprise emphasis on compliance credentials.

The company reports roughly $6.44 million in funding to date. Orbital notes it must maintain banking relationships and liquidity across more than 80 currency corridors to support exotic fiat coverage. The firm’s US launch will proceed while licensing work continues and the business seeks to build local relationships and recognition among US institutional buyers.
