Event Summary

Orbital Sciences Corporation, a global payment orchestration platform, has announced its strategic expansion into the United States, with United States — Miami, Florida, designated as its operational base.

The company, which processes approximately $12 billion in annualised volume, aims to provide enterprise-grade infrastructure for cross-border payments across traditional currencies and stablecoins, linking the United States with regions like the United Kingdom, Europe, and Americas.
