OSL Group, one of Asia’s leading digital asset platforms, has announced a $200 million equity financing round as it accelerates its expansion across stablecoin trading and digital payments.

The Hong Kong-listed firm said the capital raise is equivalent to HK$1.56 billion and is intended to strengthen its financial position, support acquisitions, and advance its strategy in the stablecoin and payments sectors.

$200M Financing Targets Global Expansion

OSL Group said the proposed equity financing will provide resources to capture emerging opportunities as stablecoins become more integrated into cross-border payments and digital financial markets.

The company said the net proceeds will be directed toward strategic acquisitions, global business expansion in payments and stablecoins, continued investment in product and technology infrastructure, and general working capital.

The announcement comes as digital asset firms increasingly look to scale compliant payment rails and settlement systems that connect fiat and blockchain-based networks.

In July, the firm announced it had raised $300 million through an equity financing round, marking the largest publicly disclosed capital raise in the region’s crypto space to date.

Building a Compliant Stablecoin System

OSL Group said it has focused heavily on developing a regulated stablecoin trading and payments positioning compliance as a pillar of its long-term strategy.

The company pointed out several milestones from 2025, including its acquisition of Banxa, a Web3 payment service provider, which strengthened its presence in crypto-enabled payments infrastructure.

OSL also launched OSL BizPay, a business-to-business payments solution designed to serve corporate and institutional clients and support real-economy use cases for stablecoin settlement.

Executive Highlights: Acquisition Strategy

Ivan Wong, chief financial officer of OSL Group, said the financing round reflects market validation of the company’s positioning in stablecoin trading and payments.

“This financing round will allow us to welcome more like-minded strategic and long-term investors,” Wong said, adding that the funds will strengthen OSL’s capital base and diversify its shareholder structure.

He notes that the company plans to pursue acquisitions of licensed trading and payment entities globally, seeking to expand its regulated footprint and reinforce its first-mover advantage as stablecoin adoption grows.

Stablecoin Payments Gain Momentum

The financing announcement comes amid broader momentum in stablecoin-based payments, as financial institutions and fintech platforms explore blockchain settlement as a faster and more efficient alternative to traditional rails.

OSL Group said its mission is to provide compliant and efficient digital financial infrastructure services that allow enterprises, financial institutions, and people to exchange, pay, trade, and settle between fiat and digital currencies.

Grounded in its values of “Open, Secure and Licensed,” the company said it is working to build an ecosystem that connects global markets and allows instant, seamless, and compliant value movement worldwide.
