Founded by Mirnas Brescic, who brings 15 years of experience in FX, treasury, and digital assets across institutions like Rain, Bitpanda and the IAEA, SaturnX serves as a behind-the-scenes API layer for B2B money transmitters, corporates and financial platforms. In just five months of operation, the company has already processed over $250 million in transaction volume while maintaining profitability.

The capital will be used to accelerate SaturnX's expansion into new payment corridors in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Pakistan; strengthen regulatory infrastructure; and continue building its end-to-end API platform for enterprise-grade stablecoin payments.

With more than $600 billion in global annual remittance flows and rising demand for digital dollars in emerging markets, SaturnX is positioned to become a critical backend provider for the future of borderless payments by modernising how money moves across borders, offering instant, low-cost stablecoin transfers for financial institutions, fintechs, and global remittance providers.

"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," said Mirnas Brescic, CEO and Founder of SaturnX. "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."

The company pre-funds stablecoin liquidity pools in key markets, aggregates FX pricing in real time, and ensures regulatory compliance via partnerships and licensing pathways. Its flagship corridor, from the Gulf region to South Asia, collectively enables hundreds of millions in annual volume.

"We're excited to back SaturnX at the forefront of a new payment infrastructure layer," said Sep Alavi, General Partner at White Star Capital. "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."
