SaturnX, a Dubai-based stablecoin payments infrastructure company, has raised $3m in a seed funding round.
The round was led by White Star Capital, with additional backing from strategic institutional investors.
The company, founded by Mirnas Brescic, offers an API-first platform designed to simplify stablecoin-based cross-border payments for businesses and financial institutions. In its first five months of operation, SaturnX has already processed more than $250m in transaction volume while maintaining profitability.
With the new capital, SaturnX plans to accelerate its expansion into key payment corridors across Southeast Asia, targeting markets such as the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Pakistan. The funds will also help bolster its regulatory framework and further develop its end-to-end API platform tailored for enterprise-grade stablecoin payments.
SaturnX aims to position itself as a vital backend provider for borderless payments by modernising cross-border money movement through instant, low-cost stablecoin transfers for financial institutions, FinTechs, and remittance providers.
The company operates by pre-funding stablecoin liquidity pools in strategic markets, offering real-time FX pricing aggregation, and ensuring compliance through partnerships and licensing frameworks. Its main payment corridor between the Gulf region and South Asia already supports hundreds of millions in annual volume.
SaturnX CEO and founder Mirnas Brescic said, “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.”
White Star Capital general partner Sep Alavi said, “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.”
