Tether Strategic Investment in Cross-Border Payment Company Axiym to Drive USDT Adoption in Global Payment Systems

BlockBeats News, March 5th, Stablecoin issuer Tether announced a strategic investment in the fintech company Axiym to promote the application of USDT in the global payment and settlement system, and improve cross-border payment efficiency.

According to the introduction, Axiym is building a global distributed fund and settlement infrastructure that can embed financial services in a compliant payment ecosystem and support the "Pay Now, Settle Later (PNSL)" post-settlement payment model. At the same time, the system will seamlessly integrate USDT fund flows, allowing payment companies to directly use USDT in their existing fund management systems without additional settlement pathways or complex infrastructure.

Currently, Axiym's distributed settlement network covers 140 countries, 70 currencies, and supports real-time settlement between payment processors and global payment aggregators, aiming to make cross-border fund flows more instantaneous, predictable, and efficient.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that this investment will help expand the practical applications of USDT in advanced payment ecosystems, lower the barrier to liquidity access, and drive a more efficient, scalable global payment system.

Axiym Founder and CEO Khibar Rassul, on the other hand, mentioned that directly integrating USDT into regulated payment infrastructure can transform the stablecoin from a mere asset form to a core capability in actual payment processes.
