Eightcap, a prominent international multi-asset broker, has announced a significant expansion of its collaboration with Orbital, a leading platform in cross-border payments, to fuel the next phase of global growth.
At the core of this alliance is the adoption of stablecoins as a pillar of Eightcap’s trading ecosystem, aiming to ensure smoother and more compliant funding and settlements in over 120 countries.
Summary
The Evolution of the Collaboration Between Eightcap and Orbital
The partnership between Eightcap and Orbital began in 2019, when the Australian broker decided to integrate stablecoin payments into its trading platforms, outpacing regulated competition by years. Since 2020, this integration has enabled the management of payment frictions and exchange rate risks, offering nearly instant deposits and withdrawals across multiple blockchain networks.
The infrastructure of Orbital has supported the growth of Eightcap even within a broader ecosystem, enabling crypto exchanges and fintech to offer their users regulated derivatives trading. In this scenario, stablecoins have established themselves as a connecting element between traders’ deposits, settlements with partners, and treasury flows.
Stablecoin: the beating heart of global trading
The current growth phase of Eightcap focuses on expanding integrated partnerships with leading crypto exchanges and fintech platforms. Orbital will continue to provide stablecoin payment infrastructures that enable secure deposits, settlements, and cash flow, consolidating the central role of stablecoins in the trading experience.
Chris Mason, CEO of Orbital, emphasizes:
“Eightcap recognized the potential of stablecoins well in advance, leveraging our infrastructure from the outset. Together, we have demonstrated that cross-chain payments in stablecoins can operate on a large scale, providing institutions with the agility of crypto alongside corporate standards like SOC2 Type 2 and ISO 27001. The continuous integration of new blockchains and the optimization of transaction speed and costs are setting new standards for scalable payment infrastructures.”
Patrick Murphy, Chief Operating Officer of Eightcap, adds:
“The collaboration with Orbital has provided us with the regulated and reliable infrastructure necessary to support both retail traders and institutional partners in emerging and established markets. With the expansion of our integrated partnerships, stablecoins represent a safe and efficient way to fund and settle trading activities across our entire ecosystem.”
Exponential Growth in Emerging Markets
Since the introduction of stablecoin payments, Eightcap has experienced significant growth: today these instruments account for between 10% and 20% of global deposits, with peaks up to 40% in key markets such as Latin America and Southeast Asia. In these regions, where access to traditional banking services is limited and the demand for crypto financing is high, stablecoins have proven to be a strategic solution.
This growth has been driven by the integration of faster and more cost-effective blockchains, including BNB Chain, Polygon, Tron, and TON, which have further enhanced transaction speed and efficiency.
