Supporting Financial Inclusion

Tether’s investment underscores its ongoing commitment to financial inclusion and robust digital payment solutions in emerging regions such as Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Mexico. Orionx integrates cryptocurrency into both B2B and retail systems, focusing on providing cost-effective financial tools.

Investment Impact on Orionx

Tether’s investment, which concludes the Series A funding round for Orionx, will facilitate improvements in regional operations, optimize technological capabilities, and expand stablecoin-enabled infrastructure for remittances, payment collection, and treasury services across Latin America.

Furthermore, Tether’s strategic move addresses current challenges such as high levels of unbanked adults, currency devaluation, rising inflation, and increasing public debt. These factors have driven many individuals to adopt stablecoins. The partnership offers businesses the ability to offer near-instant, cost-effective cross-border payments via Orionx’s Remittances as a Service platform. This infrastructure simplifies transactions, provides local fiat on and off-ramps, and enhances user onboarding processes.

The collaboration aims to equip individuals and businesses with self-custodial, dollar-pegged digital assets as an alternative to traditional banking systems. As stablecoins become more integral in daily financial activities throughout LATAM, Tether seeks to meet industry demands while fostering greater inclusion and supporting development.

Previous Initiatives by Tether

In May 2025, Tether partnered with Chainalysis to integrate its compliance and monitoring tools into the tokenization platform. This collaboration aimed at optimizing regulatory compliance for Hadron by Tether users, ensuring they could access real-time transaction monitoring and risk detection.
