Nilos and VelaFi Connect Live Payment Rails Across Asia, Europe, LATAM and the U.S.
VelaFi, a stablecoin-powered financial infrastructure platform enabling fast, compliant global money movement for businesses, has partnered with Nilos, a Europe-based multi-asset payments platform, to extend payment corridors across Europe, LATAM, Asia, and the United States.
The global stablecoin market reached $315 billion in early 2026 (Federal Reserve), with real-world payments doubling in 2025 to $400 billion - 60% of it B2B (FXC Intel). For most businesses, the barrier to using stablecoins for cross-border payments has never been the technology. It has been finding a counterpart on the other end of the transaction with the regulatory standing to execute compliantly. That is the problem this partnership is built to solve.
By combining their networks, VelaFi and Nilos create corridors where regulated infrastructure exists at both ends of the transaction - not just one. Through Nilos, VelaFi's clients gain regulated access to corridors that are notoriously difficult to reach settlement across the EU and UK, live local payouts in African and Middle Eastern markets, and USD clearing through SWIFT and direct rails worldwide. None of it requires VelaFi or its clients to build new banking relationships or licensing in each market.
The partnership is particularly relevant for fintechs managing multi-currency flows, import and export merchants settling cross-border trades, and global corporates streamlining treasury operations across regions. The result is a stablecoin payment network that is fast, low-cost, and compliant on both sides of every transfer.
"For years, businesses expanding across borders have had to choose between moving fast and staying compliant. This partnership changes that. With Nilos our clients can now operate across continents through a single, regulated network — without rebuilding their payments infrastructure every time they enter a new market," said Matias Reyes, Financial Institution Business Development Director at VelaFi.
"Every business expanding across borders eventually hits the same wall: moving the money is solved, but finding a regulated partner on the other end is not. We built Nilos to be that partner in the corridors everyone else avoids. By connecting to VelaFi, a client in São Paulo or Singapore can now reach Europe, Africa, and the Middle East through one regulated relationship instead of stitching together five. That is what infrastructure is for. You build it once so no one else has to." said Eytan Messika, Founder & CEO at Nilos.
Both companies operate compliance-first, regulated across their respective markets, and that shared standard is what lets the combined network scale. This is the first phase of a broader alliance, with both committed to extending coverage as their footprints grow.
