Dubai-headquartered fintech startup SaturnX has raised $3 million in a seed funding round to expand its enterprise-grade stablecoin payment infrastructure across the MENA and Southeast Asia regions. The round was led by White Star Capital, with participation from strategic institutional backers.
SaturnX is building core infrastructure to support cross-border stablecoin transfers. Instead of offering consumer-facing apps, the company focuses on powering back-end payments for B2B money transmitters, remittance firms, and financial platforms. Its API layer enables institutions to send and receive digital dollar transfers quickly and securely, without the friction of traditional banking rails.
The company was founded by Mirnas Brescic, who previously worked at Rain, Bitpanda, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. In just five months since launch, SaturnX has processed over $250 million in stablecoin transaction volume and has already reached profitability.
A major focus for the company is remittance corridors connecting the Gulf with South and Southeast Asia. These include high-volume routes between the UAE and countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Philippines, and Indonesia. SaturnX uses pre-funded liquidity pools and aggregates real-time foreign exchange rates to enable instant and low-cost transfers for its partners.
The fresh capital will be used to expand SaturnX’s presence in Southeast Asia and to strengthen regulatory compliance. The team is also working to improve its core platform to serve a growing list of enterprise clients.
Global remittance flows now exceed $600 billion, and the demand for stable digital currencies like USDC and USDT continues to grow in emerging markets. By providing a reliable and compliant infrastructure layer, SaturnX aims to become a key enabler of digital remittance and settlement services in the region.
With this funding, SaturnX is well-positioned to scale its services in untapped markets and support financial institutions seeking faster, cheaper, and more transparent payment alternatives to traditional systems.
