The strongest growth lies in cross-border B2B payments, where providers embedding stablecoins into corporate settlement flows can capture significant volume and float. Long-term defensibility comes from regulatory licences, banking partners and cross-border corridors.OSL holds or has acquired licences in 11 jurisdictions, and expanding into Europe, Brazil, Southeast Asia and Africa through acquisitions and licence applications.
