Saber Money has secured a strategic investment from Tether and CMCC Global to scale its payment infrastructure. The firm will use the capital to expand its B2B cross-border payment products into the Asia-Pacific and Gulf regions.
Why it matters
The investment targets high-growth remittance corridors, such as the UAE which recorded 188 billion AED in outbound remittances in 2025. By leveraging stablecoin rails, the firm aims to capture market share in a sector where cross-border B2B payments are projected to reach 5 trillion dollars by 2035.
Saber Money saw payment volumes grow over 6 times during the past nine months, with 90 percent of transactions currently processing in under one minute. The firm now operates across more than 40 countries, targeting regions that represent 35 percent of global payment flows.
The players
Saber Money
A financial infrastructure provider that uses stablecoin technology to process cross-border payments for institutions.
Tether
A major issuer of stablecoins used globally for liquidity and cross-border settlement.
CMCC Global
A Hong Kong-based venture capital firm managing the Titan Fund and specializing in digital asset investments.
The details
Saber Money utilizes stablecoin-powered rails to facilitate cross-border money movement for financial institutions and businesses. The company currently holds licenses in Canada, the EU, India, and Australia, and operates the Mudrex crypto exchange in India. By securing additional local banking relationships and licenses, the firm intends to minimize settlement times and broaden its B2B service offerings.
Timeline
2025: The UAE recorded approximately 188 billion AED in outbound remittances.
Past 9 months: Saber Money reported payment volume growth of over 6 times.
2035: Cross-border B2B stablecoin payments are projected to reach 5 trillion dollars.
Market Landscape
This development aligns with the industry-wide move toward stablecoin-based cross-border payments, which are projected to reach 5 trillion dollars by 2035. It mirrors the strategic push by payment infrastructure providers to secure regulatory licenses in key markets like India and the EU to facilitate B2B flows.
Operators managing cross-border B2B payments should monitor the integration of stablecoin rails as a potential strategy to reduce settlement times below the one-minute threshold. Firms relying on traditional remittance corridors may need to reevaluate their banking partners if competitors adopt lower-cost, high-speed blockchain alternatives.
The takeaway
The move signals a growing institutional reliance on stablecoin-powered infrastructure to manage high-volume cross-border trade. Business operators should track the licensing status of their payment providers in key markets like India and Australia to ensure long-term compliance.
