SaturnX, a UAE-based fintech startup focused on stablecoin-powered cross-border payments, has successfully raised $3 million in a seed funding round led by venture capital firm White Star Capital.
The round also saw participation from several strategic institutional investors.
The funding aims to bolster SaturnX’s mission of building a next-generation global payment infrastructure using stablecoin liquidity and smart foreign exchange (FX) routing.
With an emphasis on regulatory compliance, SaturnX plans to expand its payment network in high-demand remittance markets.
Particularly, in Southeast Asia and Africa, regions where demand for affordable, fast, and secure cross-border transactions continues to grow.
Building Infrastructure for Seamless, Regulatory-Compliant Stablecoin Transfers
SaturnX operates as an API-first infrastructure platform that enables businesses and financial institutions to move money across borders using stablecoins.
By combining real-time FX aggregation, stablecoin liquidity provisioning, and pre-funded local payout networks.
SaturnX facilitates fast and cost-efficient remittances that comply with international financial regulations.
Since its launch just five months ago, the platform has already processed over $250 million in transactions and achieved early profitability.
The company’s technology targets business-to-business (B2B) money transmitters, financial platforms, and corporates looking for a programmable alternative to traditional wire transfer systems.

Founder Brings Deep FX and Crypto Expertise to an Emerging Market Frontier
The company was founded by Mirnas Brescic, a veteran with over 15 years of experience in FX, digital assets, and treasury roles at companies including Rain, Bitpanda, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Under his leadership, SaturnX has established itself as a powerful behind-the-scenes player in the global payments ecosystem, particularly for remittance corridors like the Gulf to South Asia.
The fresh capital will be used to scale operations further into key payment corridors, including the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Pakistan.
SaturnX will also strengthen its regulatory licensing efforts and continue enhancing its enterprise-grade API product that integrates seamlessly into partner platforms.
Positioned to Modernize the $600B Global Remittance Market
With over $600 billion moving annually through global remittance channels and surging demand for dollar-denominated digital assets in emerging economies, SaturnX sees a major opportunity to modernize international payments.
CEO Mirnas Brescic emphasized the platform’s goal of connecting traditional and decentralized finance systems through practical, compliant applications of stablecoins.
“Despite considerable progress, cross-border payments are still expensive and slow. By offering a faster, cheaper, and programmable alternative, we’re helping financial partners unlock better ways to move money,” he said.
Backer Sep Alavi of White Star Capital echoed this sentiment, calling SaturnX’s infrastructure vital for solving real-world pain points in international B2B payments and remittances.
With growing regulatory clarity in markets like the U.S. and SaturnX’s stablecoin-agnostic approach, the firm is well-positioned to become a foundational layer in the next era of global payments.
