SaturnX, an infrastructure provider for stablecoin-based cross-border payments, announced the closing of a $3 million seed round. The funding round was led by White Star Capital, with participation from strategic institutional investors.
Launched by Mirnas Brescic, who brings 15 years of experience in FX, treasury, and digital assets across institutions like Rain, Bitpanda, and the IAEA, SaturnX serves as a behind-the-scenes API layer for B2B money transmitters, corporates, and financial platforms. In just five months of operation, the company has already processed over $250 million in transaction volume while maintaining profitability.
With over $600 billion in global annual remittance flows and rising demand for digital dollars in emerging markets, SaturnX is prepared to become a critical backend provider for the future of borderless payments by modernising how money moves across borders, offering instant, low-cost stablecoin transfers for financial institutions, fintechs, and global remittance providers.
The company pre-funds stablecoin liquidity pools in key markets, aggregates foreign exchange (FX) pricing in real-time, and ensures regulatory compliance through partnerships and licensing pathways. Its flagship corridor, spanning from the Gulf region to South Asia, collectively enables hundreds of millions of dollars in annual volume.
How the funding will be used: The funding will be used to accelerate SaturnX’s expansion into new payment corridors in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Pakistan, to strengthen regulatory infrastructure, and to continue building its end-to-end API platform for enterprise-grade stablecoin payments.
KEY QUOTES:
“Our vision is to connect the worlds of decentralised and traditional finance with infrastructure that brings the benefits of stablecoins to everyday financial use cases. 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.”
Mirnas Brescic, CEO and Founder of SaturnX
“We’re excited to back SaturnX at the forefront of a new payment infrastructure layer. They’re operating in one of the most strategically important corridors globally, solving a massive pain point for cross-border remittances and B2B payments. Mirnas brings unmatched experience in FX, treasury, and crypto, and he’s already shown his ability to execute at speed.”
