Breaking: OSL Locks $300M War Chest to Revolutionize Stablecoins & Payments

Hong Kong's crypto heavyweight just fired the starting gun on the next payments arms race.

OSL—the first FSA-licensed exchange—just secured a staggering $300 million funding round. Their mission? To bulldoze the barriers between traditional finance and crypto with institutional-grade stablecoins and payment rails.

The stablecoin playbook just got rewritten

While legacy banks still treat stablecoins like radioactive waste, OSL's banking partnerships and regulatory moat position them to eat Wall Street's lunch. The $300 million injection will fund compliant dollar-pegged tokens and merchant payment systems—because apparently the world needs another USDT competitor.

Payments infrastructure enters the 21st century

Expect enterprise-grade APIs that let businesses accept crypto while settling in fiat—cutting out Visa's 2% vig and the three-day ACH shuffle. OSL's betting that corporations would rather trust a licensed exchange than meme coin enthusiasts for treasury management.

The bottom line? When regulated players start building with nine-figure war chests, the 'wild west' crypto narrative starts looking as outdated as a Lehman Brothers balance sheet.

OSL’s Global Acquisitions and Licensing Strategy

OSL has accelerated its international expansion through strategic acquisitions across key markets. The group recently acquired Canada’s Banxa, Indonesia’s Evergreen Crest, and Japanese exchange CoinBest, which has been rebranded as OSL Japan.

Additionally, OSL is in the process of applying for essential licenses in major digital asset jurisdictions. With these strategic moves, the company is becoming a key player in the regulated crypto services.

OSL’s CFO, Ivan Wong, confirmed that the company is pursuing additional licenses in major digital asset jurisdictions to support institutional-grade services globally. 

The funding comes amid broader growth in cryptocurrency institutional adoption, with traditional financial services increasingly integrating digital asset capabilities for cross-border payments and treasury management.
