OpenPayd Joins Fireblocks Network for Payments to Expand Institutional Access in Europe

London, United Kingdom, July 23, 2026 — OpenPayd, a financial infrastructure provider, has joined the Fireblocks Network for Payments, becoming the first provider to go live on the Fireblocks Network in the UK and Europe.

The integration gives 2,400 users across the Fireblocks Network’s payments ecosystem immediate access to OpenPayd’s on- and off-ramp solutions in more than 60 currencies across 100 countries. OpenPayd said the move responds to rising institutional demand by connecting Fireblocks Network users with its rail-agnostic infrastructure and built-in compliance capabilities.

Fireblocks Network for Payments brings together local payment rails, blockchains and stablecoin systems with on/off-ramp, foreign exchange and remittance capabilities. The Network has settled more than $14 trillion in transaction volume and connects 2,400 exchanges, fintechs, banks, payment service providers and liquidity partners.

Through the Fireblocks Console or API, participants in the Network can now connect directly to OpenPayd’s global fiat infrastructure without requiring a separate integration. Businesses can access GBP, EUR and USD immediately, with up to 60 currencies available on demand across more than 100 countries. The companies said the single workflow is designed to streamline payments, treasury operations and reconciliation. For institutions, the ability to connect fiat accounts, FX, payments and digital-asset settlement through fewer integration points can reduce operational complexity in cross-border money movement.

The integration also combines OpenPayd’s liquidity with Fireblocks’ built-in security controls, including Travel Rule compliance and wallet verification. According to the announcement, this enables businesses to move between fiat currencies and stablecoins securely, compliantly and at global scale.

The launch follows a busy 12-month period for OpenPayd, which now processes more than $280 billion in annual transactions. Recent strategic partnerships include LMAX Group, described as a leading global cross-asset marketplace for FX and digital assets, and Archax, the first FCA-regulated digital asset exchange.

“This integration marks another significant step on our growth journey,” said Michael Treacy, Director of Business Development and Marketing at OpenPayd. “Demand for reliable infrastructure solutions is growing as global institutional adoption of digital assets continues to accelerate. By joining the Fireblocks Network, we are widening access to OpenPayd’s universal financial infrastructure, helping more companies overcome the complexity and fragmentation of the global payments system and powering the growth of the digital economy.”

Richard Astle, VP of Business Development at Fireblocks, said: “Dollar-denominated stablecoins are increasingly how value reaches emerging markets, and many of those corridors originate in the UK and Europe. OpenPayd’s expansion lets institutions on- and off-ramp in GBP and EUR as well as USD across the Fireblocks Network, strengthening it as the infrastructure layer for institutional stablecoin liquidity and payments.”
