Archax and OpenPayd partner to streamline multi-currency settlement for digital asset trading

(PRESS RELEASE – London, United Kingdom, January 27, 2026)

Archax, the first FCA-regulated exchange, broker and custodian of digital assets, has announced a partnership with OpenPayd, a leading financial infrastructure provider, to streamline fiat settlement across its global business operations. The partnership addresses a critical bottleneck for digital asset markets as institutional participation increases and settlement flows require greater operational resilience at scale.

Archax will use OpenPayd’s regulated financial infrastructure to facilitate instant fiat settlement in GBP, EUR and USD, with flows flowing primarily between Archax and its network of institutional liquidity partners. The shared environment reduces settlement friction, accelerates reconciliation and improves operational synergies within the institutional digital asset exchange ecosystem. The platform also supports withdrawal and settlement activities for Archax customers.

OpenPayd’s account structure provides Archax with a unified and compliant treasury environment to manage multi-currency flows in its major fiat currencies. This centralized model reduces operational complexity, shortens settlement cycles with liquidity partners, and improves visibility and reconciliation of multi-currency fiat flows – capabilities that are increasingly vital for institutional participants executing sophisticated digital asset trading strategies.

Graham Rodford, CEO and co-founder of Archax, commented: “As institutional adoption of digital assets continues to grow and expand, it is essential to have credible, streamlined and efficient fiat payment and settlement rails to support them – as well as exploring new innovations such as stablecoins and digital money. This partnership with OpenPayd does just that. We are excited to work with them to leverage their proven infrastructure and further realize our vision.”

Iana Dimitrova, CEO of OpenPayd, adds: “Archax has built one of the most credible institutional digital asset platforms, combining regulatory clarity with significant liquidity. By supporting their multi-currency settlement infrastructure, we are removing friction in the fiat-crypto interface, where many institutional players still face operational challenges. Together, we are helping to make institutional digital asset trading more reliable and operationally smooth.”
