Eightcap expands stablecoin payments with Orbital

By Vriti Gothi

Eightcap has expanded its use of Orbital’s stablecoin payment infrastructure, positioning digital assets at the core of its global trading ecosystem. The move marks the next phase of the broker’s international growth strategy, enabling smoother funding, settlement and treasury operations across more than 120 markets.

Eightcap first introduced stablecoin payments into its trading platform in 2020 through its partnership with Orbital well ahead of most regulated brokers. Since then, stablecoins have increasingly acted as the connective layer linking trader deposits, partner payouts and liquidity flows. The integration aims to reduce payment delays, mitigate currency exposure and support real-time funding across multiple blockchain networks.

The extended partnership comes as Eightcap scales its embedded infrastructure model, which allows crypto exchanges and FinTechs to offer regulated derivatives trading to their customers. Stablecoins are expected to remain central to this expansion, offering faster settlement and lower transaction friction in regions where access to conventional banking channels remains inconsistent.

“Eightcap recognised the potential of stablecoins early and executed on it decisively, with Orbital’s infrastructure supporting that journey from the beginning,” said Chris Mason, CEO of Orbital added “That the collaboration has demonstrated that cross-chain stablecoin payments can operate at scale with enterprise-grade standards such as SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001.”

Patrick Murphy, Chief Operating Officer at Eightcap, said, “The partnership has given the broker the regulated infrastructure and reliability needed to serve both individual traders and institutional partners. As we expand our embedded partnerships, stablecoins provide a secure and efficient way to fund and settle trading activity across our ecosystem.”

Eightcap reports that stablecoin usage now represents 10–20% of all deposits globally, with levels reaching up to 40% in regions such as Latin America and Southeast Asia—markets where crypto-based funding has gained strong traction due to fragmented banking access. Recent rollout of faster, lower-cost networks, including BNB Chain, Polygon, Tron and TON, has further strengthened transaction performance.

The companies said they will continue to extend blockchain connectivity and enhance settlement capabilities as stablecoins gain broader acceptance within trading and payments infrastructure.
