ORIONX

Orionx is a Chilean cryptocurrency exchange and digital financial infrastructure company founded in 2017 that operates across Latin America, including Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Colombia. The platform enables retail users and businesses to buy, sell, and trade various cryptocurrencies while providing B2B services focused on cross-border payments, treasury management, and payment collection. Orionx has processed over $2 billion in transactions since its inception and serves more than 130,000 clients across the region. The company offers multiple services including cryptocurrency exchange, OTC trading, API integrations, and a Remittances as a Service platform that enables businesses to offer near-instant, low-cost cross-border payments. The platform supports local fiat on and off-ramps, allowing seamless conversion between local currencies and digital assets, with particular emphasis on stablecoin-powered infrastructure for treasury services and remittances. In June 2025, Orionx closed its Series A funding round led exclusively by Tether, following a previous 2023 investment from Bitfinex. The Tether investment aims to enhance Orionx's technological capabilities and scale its stablecoin infrastructure across Latin America, addressing regional challenges including currency devaluation, high inflation, and limited banking access. The company targets both retail users seeking alternatives to traditional banking and institutional clients requiring efficient payment collection, distribution, and treasury management solutions. Orionx positions itself as a financial inclusion tool in a region that received approximately $415 billion in cryptocurrency transactions between July 2023 and June 2024, with stablecoins accounting for the majority of flows. In Mexico, Orionx provides access to cryptocurrency trading and cross-border payment solutions, contributing to the country's growing digital asset adoption.
