Through this initiative, Tether reaffirms its dedication to fostering financial inclusion and strengthening resilient digital payment systems in developing regions. Operating in Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Mexico, Orionx integrates cryptocurrency into both business-to-business (B2B) and retail systems, focusing on delivering cost-efficient financial tools.
How will Tether’s investment benefit Orionx?
Tether’s investment in Orionx, as part of its Series A funding round, is designed to enable the company to enhance its local operations, refine technological capabilities, and expand stablecoin-enabled infrastructure for remittances, payment collection, and treasury services throughout Latin America.
This strategic move underscores Tether’s commitment to addressing regional challenges such as high rates of unbanked individuals, currency devaluation, inflationary pressures, and growing public debt. Through its Remittances as a Service platform, businesses can offer customers near-instant, cost-effective cross-border payments. Orionx’s infrastructure also simplifies transaction processing, provides local fiat on- and off-ramps, and enhances user onboarding. By enabling institutions and merchants to settle with stablecoins, Orionx aims to provide practical use cases for users while Tether supports these efforts.
The partnership signifies a shared goal of offering alternatives to traditional banking systems that cater to the needs of individuals and businesses through self-custodial, dollar-pegged digital assets. As stablecoins become more integrated into daily financial transactions in Latin America (LATAM), Tether aims to meet industry demands while promoting broader financial inclusion and supporting regional development.
