Dubai, UAE – SaturnX, a UAE-based fintech startup specializing in stablecoin-driven cross-border payment infrastructure, has raised USD 3 million in a seed funding round. The investment, led by White Star Capital with participation from other strategic investors, will accelerate the company’s expansion across major global remittance corridors and strengthen its regulatory and technological frameworks.
Tackling the Global Payments Challenge
Headquartered in Dubai, SaturnX provides an API-first platform designed to facilitate fast, cost-effective, and compliant B2B stablecoin transactions for financial institutions. The company addresses one of the most persistent pain points in global finance: the inefficiencies of traditional cross-border payment systems.
“Despite considerable progress, cross-border payments are still expensive and slow,” said Mirnas Brescic, CEO and Founder of SaturnX. “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.”
Strategic Markets and Global Expansion
The fresh capital will fuel SaturnX’s growth into Southeast Asian markets, including the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Pakistan—regions that represent some of the largest global remittance flows. In parallel, the startup will invest in building out its regulatory framework and enhancing its enterprise-grade APIs to better serve institutional clients.
White Star Capital’s General Partner Sep Alavi underscored the company’s strategic positioning, stating: “They’re operating in one of the most strategically important corridors globally, solving a massive pain point for cross-border remittances and B2B payments.”
A Next-Gen Payments Infrastructure
SaturnX operates as a behind-the-scenes enabler for financial services providers. Its API layer powers B2B money transmitters, corporate treasuries, and fintech platforms by integrating stablecoin transactions into existing infrastructure. The platform supports stablecoin liquidity in local markets, real-time FX aggregation, and ensures regulatory compliance through strategic partnerships and licensing.
By pre-funding liquidity pools and optimizing FX rates through smart routing, the platform allows for seamless cross-border transfers while reducing settlement time and transaction fees—critical improvements in high-volume corridors.
Dubai as a Launchpad for Crypto Innovation
The choice of Dubai as the company’s headquarters reinforces the emirate’s role as a growing global center for fintech and crypto innovation. With its business-friendly environment, forward-looking regulatory stance, and access to regional markets, Dubai offers an ideal base for scaling blockchain and stablecoin technologies.
SaturnX’s model reflects a broader trend in the digital payments space—leveraging blockchain-backed assets like stablecoins to overhaul legacy banking infrastructure. As global demand grows for faster and cheaper international payments, platforms like SaturnX are positioned to redefine how value moves across borders.
What’s Next for SaturnX?
With its newly acquired funding, SaturnX plans to:
- Expand operations in Southeast Asia and key remittance markets
- Strengthen regulatory and licensing capabilities
- Continue development of its programmable payment APIs
- Partner with regional and global financial institutions to scale adoption
Founded by Mirnas Brescic, SaturnX is part of a new wave of fintech companies leveraging digital currencies to transform financial infrastructure. As remittances remain a financial lifeline for millions, innovations like SaturnX’s platform could help reshape the future of money movement across the globe.
