Archax, the UK’s first FCA-regulated digital asset exchange, broker, and custodian, has teamed up with financial infrastructure provider OpenPayd to streamline fiat payments for its global trading operations.
The move comes as more institutional investors enter the digital asset market, creating a need for quicker, more reliable settlement systems.
Instant Multi-Currency Settlements
Archax will leverage OpenPayd’s regulated financial infrastructure to enable instant GBP, EUR, and USD settlements. These flows will operate primarily between Archax and its network of institutional liquidity partners, ensuring smoother and faster transactions.

The platform also supports client withdrawals, helping reduce operational delays that can affect large-scale trading activity.
Streamlined Operations and Reconciliation
The shared platform also makes it easier for firms to reconcile transactions and coordinate activity across their institutional trading networks. By centralising multi-currency settlement processes, the platform reduces operational complexity and allows institutions to manage high volumes of trades more efficiently.
“As the adoption of digital assets by institutions continues to grow and scale, it is vital to have credible, streamlined, efficient fiat payment and settlement rails in place to support them – as well as to explore new innovations like stablecoins and digital cash,” highlighted Graham Rodford, CEO and co-founder of Archax.
OpenPayd CEO Iana Dimitrova added that Archax has established a credible institutional platform in digital assets, combining clear regulation with deep liquidity.
“By supporting their multi-currency settlement infrastructure, we’re eliminating friction in the fiat-to-crypto interface, where many institutional players still face operational headaches.”
Archax operates as an FCA-regulated digital asset platform, serving professional and institutional clients globally, supporting a broad range of digital assets from cryptocurrencies to tokenised real-world assets, and covering issuance, trading, and custody.
OpenPayd provides rails-agnostic financial infrastructure that connects traditional finance with digital assets, including embedded accounts, payments, FX, open banking, and stablecoin on- and off-ramps.
Why This Matters
Archax and OpenPayd partnership improves the speed, reliability, and transparency of fiat settlements, supporting higher-volume and more efficient institutional digital asset trading.
