We were able to put regulators at ease because we used best-in-class products like Chainalysis, which gave regulators comfort that we were doing everything in our power to screen on-chain transactions as well as possible.”
Challenge
Orbital, a multi-licensed fintech company with crypto entities in Gibraltar, Estonia and a payment institution in the UK provide an enterprise payments platform combining both traditional and blockchain rails, with transaction volumes over $5B annually. The group offers an all-in-one global payment solution for pay-ins, payouts, exchange, and treasury management in both traditional currencies and crypto, plus a stablecoin-focused payment gateway for ecommerce. Orbital serves mid-to-large global corporations and online merchants, particularly in emerging markets, and its mission is to simplify the global movement of money.
Solution
To address these challenges, Orbital partnered with Chainalysis five years ago. Chainalysis’ comprehensive blockchain coverage, superior wallet and entity attribution data, and advanced compliance tools became integral to Orbital’s operations. Chainalysis enabled Orbital to:
- Mitigate financial crime risks with daily transaction monitoring.
- Build trust with regulators and banking partners.
- Enhance operational efficiency by reducing payment processing delays.
Results
With Chainalysis, Orbital expanded its global footprint and streamlined compliance processes. Key results include:
- Securely navigating complex regulatory environments.
- Maintaining trust with stakeholders, ensuring rapid scalability.
- Leveraging on-chain insights to innovate in stablecoin adoption research.
Orbital continues to see stablecoins as a key driver for global financial transformation, particularly in addressing challenges in emerging markets such as high inflation and cross-border payment inefficiencies.
