OpenPayd wins Europe FinTech Award for stablecoin infrastructure

London, UK, 9 July 2026 – OpenPayd, the universal financial infrastructure provider, has won the Crypto Award at the Europe FinTech Awards 2026, recognising its stablecoin infrastructure and its role in enabling businesses to move and manage fiat and digital assets through a single API.

Launched in May 2025, OpenPayd’s stablecoin infrastructure extends the company’s financial infrastructure platform, enabling businesses to access embedded accounts, FX, domestic and international payments, Open Banking, treasury services and regulated stablecoin capabilities through a single integration. Businesses can on- and off-ramp between fiat and stablecoins, settle payments across traditional payment rails and blockchain networks, and manage liquidity across both ecosystems.

Since launch, OpenPayd has expanded its digital asset ecosystem through partnerships with Circle, Fireblocks and Ripple, while continuing to strengthen its global banking network, licensing framework and digital asset infrastructure. The most recent expansion came in June 2026 as OpenPayd secured authorisation under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, allowing the company to provide regulated crypto-asset services to clients across the EEA through a single licence.

The introduction of OpenPayd’s stablecoin infrastructure made the company’s financial infrastructure platform fully rails-agnostic, enabling businesses to move and manage money seamlessly across traditional payment rails and blockchain networks through a single API. It marked a significant step in OpenPayd’s mission to power the growth of the digital economy by making it easier for businesses to move and manage money globally. The Europe FinTech Award is the second major industry recognition for the platform in its first year, following OpenPayd’s win of Best Early Stage Future Payments Initiative at The Card & Payments Awards 2026.
